[QUOTE="Tbradley, post: 332584, member: 9883"] The part "Mercury has more power" is where I'm getting some differences on my questions to these owners and dealers. One particular owner said he has the Merc 60/40 4 stroke on a 1654, says it does well. He said he get 31mph by himself on a fully decked Alweld boat. Says his son has the same size boat, but a little heavier than his and has the Etec 60/40 with SS impeller and his son boat takes him on holeshot, runs faster, as quiet and uses less fuel doing it. This comment sparked the idea of the Etec again for me, so I got to calling dealers and they all admitted the they sell more Merc's hands down, but the price was the driving factor. They ALL said the Etec is going to perform better, but it is a $1000 higher. Its a little lighter, not much, but a little. One of the main things I like is its more compact than the Merc. I've driven the Merc, its a nice motor, but bigger than I would like to go with. I was just wanting to know if there are any reliablitily issue with the Etec 60hp motor with a jet? [/QUOTE]
