Saw a dirty big etec on a brand new 7+metre runabout in Exmouth earlier this month, first time in the water. Took off with no smoke and compared to the four stroke motors.... well lets just say i swear i heard the swell on the reef over the motor.
They have definitely got the edge over other makes around. If i had a couple more grand i would have considered one on the tracker but i wasnt that fortunate. So i stayed with the stardard mercury 2 stroke. And to give it some credit, its quieter than the honda on my grandfathers dinghy.
