Until you drive it compared to any 4 stroke 25, it's hard to compare. I have never been an OMC fan, of any size outboard. OMC was the Johnson and Evinrude lines, then Bombardier (BRP) bought all of OMC's lines. I have driven both, the 4 stroke 25's and the E-Tec, not in the same league. And I am a huge fan of some 4 strokes. I run a 4 cylinder 40hp Merc 4 stroke with a 60hp ecu in it. I absolutely love it. I wouldn't trade it for any half dozen 2 stroke 40's., 50's or 60's.
When it comes to outboards, there is no manufacturer that builds the best of all sizes. The 25 E-Tec is a beast, the 40 E-Tec,,,not so much.
