    My mechanic likes the E-tec better. Says the gas consumption is about the same and is less costly to repair should something happen. IMO, the warranty would be an important factor too.

    Most experts would tell you that the 90hp Yamaha might be the best motor ever built. Highest power to weight ratio and the most reliable outboard engine block ever made. That's just what I've read and been told. Plus I'm a Yamaha guy. Not much louder then the trolling motor either. With today's technology I would say its what u prefer. Yami doesn't burn oil either. At $30 a gallon that adds up at the pump.

    Go with the 4 stroke. You will not regret it, and you will never own a two stroke outboard again. The four strokes are more reliable, start easier, very good on fuel, you can troll with them and not foul plugs, and they are easy to maintain (plugs, oil, filters). Two strokes may be lighter and faster, but I would rather have the reliability and durability. My Suzuki 4 stroke is 11 years old, has been used a LOT, and is still going strong knock on wood.

    I would go with the four stroke, we have one and I won't buy another boat without one. Ironically, we saw a guy with a 90 Yamaha yesterday while perch jerkin' and I could barely hear it run, the wife even mentioned how quiet it was.

    I have 2 close friends that are professional basser's, both are sponsored by Evinrude and both are running E-tecs. They hate 'em. Both guys have been forced out of a tournament because the E-tec's quit. These are big motors and may be a completely different animal than a 90.
