[QUOTE="thill, post: 462444, member: 4972"] The holeshot of the Etecs seem to be the best out there. [b]Take a look at this video that was posted by Weldor:[/b] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZvIw83uZgY The little 30 Etec had more grunt than the 40 Yamaha and also got better fuel economy. And the 40 Etec walked away from everything else. But from what I understand, the 40 Etec is really a de-tuned 60, so it makes sense. When you compare it to other 60's, it's similar, weight-wise. But it's heavier than other 40's. On my bigger boats, my Ficht Ram engines definitely outperform 4-strokes on my friend's similar boats. The only one that comes close or surpasses is a friend's supercharged Verado. That thing is a beast! But his is a 250 and mine is a 200, and his boat is lighter than mine, so it's hard to say exactly. That being said, he paid $20k for his, and I only paid $1,500 for mine... [/QUOTE]
