Repower options?

[cukes]

Bob, Go with the E-Tec, Bombardier has got this engine completely figured out, most economical, quieter and overall cheaper maintenance and clean burning. Yamaha still has problems and they have their hooks in these companies thus so many of them around. More power per stroke.

Option 2

Yammie all the way

Think I'm going to go with option #3....and #4.

Think it makes more sense to keep the old girl and put the money into a new engine (god help me). I do like the idea if the Yamaha engine, but the Etech does impress on weight to power. Think I could drop down to a 150 and not see too much of difference. The promotion they are running now is the best deal of the bunch too.

Thanks for the input and stay tuned. If you see me smiling and limping from a swift kick to the stones from the wife, you'll know I'm happy with the new power.

Go for it Bob!!

Bob, If you check the cost for required maintenance schedules for 300 hours on the 2 engines, the Yamaha will cost over $2000 more. The maintenance is required by Yamaha to keep your warranty valid and has to be performed by a certified dealer. Nothing for 300 hours on the E-Tec.
