I like my Yamaha, been running a used 2004 Yamaha 4 stroke 115 for 4 years and used more days of the year than not. It starts immediately when you turn the key and not too bad on gas.

Just picked up my boat last week with a 150 yami four stroke . It is super quiet and sips gas at cruising speeds. Mine came with a 5 yr warranty also.
I have been running a Yamaha 115 on my Excel bay boat for close to a year. Absolutely love it! I forget when the last time I filled up the tank, but it been 3 or 4 weeks, and I fish 1 day a week. Maintenance is simple and strait forward, just amazed by it. Never ran a etec, so I can't tell ya which one is best, but I love my F115.
