I have been kind of reserving my opinion on the ETECS till they have been around a while and are a proven engine. Well last week I had the opportunity to fish with an FLW pro (fun fishing) and he had a Z21 with the ETEC 250.
All I can say is WOW!!! What an engine. I couldn't believe how smooth, quiet and powerful that motor was. I made the comment to TJ that my vacuum cleaner at home made more noise than his ETEC.
Just wanted to comment on this as I know a lot of bass fisherman are curious about these motors.
When it's time to re-power my old Ranger, I will definately try the ETEC.
