[QUOTE="rockdamage, post: 332563, member: 4609"] The mercury weighs 7 lbs more thats it end of story. if you install the same 6 7/8 impeller in the etec it will not turn it as hard as the merc. About 40 rpms less........ and the merc will get hands down better fuel milage. I will challenge any etec to a fuel usage contest any day. Thats my two cents ... now I could care less what any other dealer says. Just contact the water patrol on current river and ask him how much he likes his etec. I have had the exact same boat with each engine in side by side tests. The merc plains much much much faster and can slowly pull away on the top. Listen to who ever you want. But id build a boat equal down to the last drain plug and compare to any etec 60 [/QUOTE]
