Thread: Evinrude E-tec 115 HO

Wouldn't touch a junk rude unless 15hp or less IMO

Go to the Walley boards and ask around and BassBoat Central. Those guys up north run a lot of Etecs. What little I have read says the 115 should be a good motor and most of the problems with High HP motors have been fixed. Buddy of a friend of mine is running the 115 on 17ft ranger and loves it. Nary a problem,quiet and sips gas with plenty of power.

This would be the closest specks I could find to my boat. My boat weighs less but I'm sure the stratos out performs it easily on the ride cutting through the water.

I couldn't find much current info on them but from what I read the larger motors seemed to be problamatic around 2010 for sure. I have one buddy who has a 25 and loves it.

Plus I think the white motor looks cool Been noticing lots of the big bass guys running them lately and I was just curious.

I've only had mine for a few months, but I am very happy with it. Its quiet and runs like a scalded dog. That being said, I probably would have went with a Merc or Yammie if I had the choice. The boat was a demo and the E-Tec is what it had on it. I know they had some issues in the past, but from what I have read and heard from others, that seems to have been resolved. I gots a five year warranty, hopefully I don't have to use it.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF SMALL . ANY OF YOU FEEL SORRY FOR ME YOU CAN PACK ME UP A COUPLE BAGS OF FILLETS . I'LL PICK THEM UP .

Kenyon, I've sold several of the bigger ETEC's, 90-150. Those are more of a mid range engine, but I haven't had a problem with the few I've sold. I do better with the Yammies as far as sales go tho.

The ETECs aren't any faster on the top, but being a 2 Stroke, they have more torque at the prop, and can bust out of the hole. They are quiet, fuel efficient, lighter weight, and they have better emissions than the 4 Strokes. They are nice engines!!!
