New Motor

If you was buying a new motor 115hp would you buy a Etec or mercury 4 stroke?

My vote would go for the E-Tec & I'm the owner of a 2007 Merc 75HP 4S []

2 years ago I would have said 4 stroke was the best choice but 2s have been winning me over lately. If it was just a kicker i would say 4 stroke for sure. One might consider how long your going to keep the boat as emissions laws will change in time. some places are outlawing 2 stokes and noise levels have to meet a certain db.

Yamaya,its not as fast,but more reliable,my buddy has the 2 stroke model.Alfred is my paraplegic friend.He is my best bud.I rarely beat him at fishing,sometimes twice a year if I'm lucky,today we went to this canal for the first time this year.I caught twice as many 2,lol.he caught 1 in 51/2 hours,nearly left,but stayed. Alfred needs something reliable,I also have a quadriplegic friend,but he can't fish,but enjoys getting out there.We do what I can to help each other out.Thats what fishermen are for.[]P.S watever you do don't get a 4 stroke...nothing personal,just ....nevermind,watever suits you,enjoy.[]

As you can see Alfreds motor gets the job done,sometimes we come across shallow areas where the lighter motor is a must.Last two pics are our best personal catches for each of us while boating with a 115 2 stroke yamaha..P.J.
