Wow! Sorry to hear you're having problems and you're engine is fried. Have you contacted BRP corporate directly? Was the problem caused by a known engine defect? Don't give up until you've exhausted all options to reduce the impact on your wallet. I would probably go back with the ETEC as the boat is rigged for the engine.
Good luck!!

The 05 etecs had a seven year warrranty - are you sure your not covered?
He's not in the US, so sometimes warranties vary from country to country.
Sorry to hear about the motor, but like Duane said, I'd stick with the E-TEC. Assuming you were running an H.O. and not a standard E-TEC, I'm not sure you'd be as happy with the performance of the Opti.

I would most definetly push BRP as far as I could, it would suprise me as good as they have been they would not help you out if worst case a new one @ cost. how many hrs on the engine?
hi guys the boat and motor was imported from pennsylvania ,they told me it was a fuel issue, the boat yard won,t help me in the usa ,i contacted roch lambert the top guy at brp america he said he could,nt help me but would talk to australia,i have now been offered some discount on a new one about 1000 bucks which is great but i still have to find 20,000 which i don,t have the motor has 83 hrs on it and i did all the homework checked the emm report before i brought it and it still blew on me as far as i can make out there is only a 3yr warranty and my motor is a import which is 3.5 yrs old im so jacked off and so is the wife,,,,,,,,, the engine number is 05093630

Please don't make me call up the complete deal. You have whined enough and you got caught up in a bad deal. It is now and international deal. Nuff said you have been offered what you get.
I would also go with a 200 Etec if it were me. There should be a lot more than 500.00 between the two engines since you have to changer out controls, trim gauges and cables to swap from a BRP engine to a Merc engine. The 200 Etec HO is a good strong engine and very quite. Rock is the man from BRP so if he said no i am thinking you wont get any better deal than the 1000.00 discount. Good luck with what ever engine u decide to go with.
can get you a great deal on a 2009 200HO E-TECH shipped any where in the country for $9600. Roland Martin Marine Center can beat ant price, call and see
