[QUOTE="Rob Silver, post: 404738, member: 13670"] Hey Pappy. Yes, I will be purchasing locally. This one dealership I am talking to sells both Yamaha and ETECs. They say I should go with ETEC....but then again, I am wary since it is about $2K more and I feel that's where they want my money to go so they can have more of it as well. All three engines are well represented from where I will be running, so servicing wont be too much of a concern. My concern is this: 1. The 4-strokes are ~$2000 cheaper.....but most likely would cost more to maintain? 2. The ETEC sounds like a dream with the 7 year warranty and 3 years/300 hours first maintenance call.....but I've been burnt before by "sound to good to be true" 3. The ETEC IS ~$2000 more....is it worth 2 grand more than a Yammie? Really? 4. Which tech is easier for me to maintain in terms of DIY? 5. Which tech is cheaper for me to maintain in terms of DIY? Thanks again! Your inputs are much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
