Mine not so good over the years, I like silver lake marine better. A little side note on the E-Tec, last year while in Port Clinton on our May fishing trip we were at the dock and a guy got towed in that had a 150 E-Tec, we helped him load the boat on the trailer and got to talking to him, the current motor was seized up he and he was more than aggrivated come to find out this was his 7th E-Tec they kept blowing up. Needless to say when we saw him this year he had a brand new Yamaha 150 on his boat and couldn't be happier. This is not the only failure issues I have heard of among other issues. When they are flawless they are one of the best engines out but when they start having problems they suck because of all the computerized parts they have on them. Good luck (Imo I would look at the 4 strokers)
