[QUOTE="archery68, post: 400162, member: 20113"] Notaguide, I got the big tiller. I love it. In Missouri our local water patrol run jets and are now running the big tiller. From a distance I thought they looked funky, to much crap on the handle and dimensionally just big as was my thoughts on the motor itself, to big and bulky. I work for the state of Missouri and talked with them and they love them. I looked close up and asked lots of questions. It appears like the motor would be hard to turn due to weight. Well it's not. I could not justify the cost of the etec., nobody else can in my area as well. I could not find any on boats locally to look at or ask questions about. The mercury is bout the only new motor my local guys sell now in 40. We have 40 horse restriction. I love it, power trim at the end of the handle, push button!!! Very handy. The forward/ reverse is right there and easy to manipulate. The starter key is right there as well. It turns very easy and has plenty of ***!!!! 32 mph is plenty fast on the river. I have not noticed much of a difference if entire family with me or not, runs close to same, loaded unloaded? Doesn't matter, gets up in plane quick. I am very pleased to say the least with my motor and love the big tiller. [/QUOTE]
