2 weeks ago my 1999 150 Merc gave up the ghost. It had just enough push to get me back to Catawba at 4.4 mph. I now have a new 150 Evinrude E-Tec thanks to Bob and Nic at Cranberry Creek Marine in Huron OH. Quietest motor ever. Instant key start, tops at 42 mph on my 20' ProLine, trolls like a dream. Should have switched sooner. Not one regret.
