From everything I have heard, STAY AWAY FROM E-TEC. I have yet to talk with anyone that has not had problems, seems that the BRP engineers cannot write a good program for the ecu.
As for Lake Area, great guys. I have known Gerald since he was in Moss Bluff in that little metal building. He has never lied to me, even when the truth hurt. That's all you can ask of a human. There are no perfect people, but there are some that try harder than others, he is that kind of person. He raised Kyle to be just like him, so they are 2 of a kind.
I have been involved trying to help Lake Area through some pretty nasty product problems, Lake Area took care of them even when the manufacturer would not, that is customer service.
Gerald and Kyle will do what is right, whether it cost them or you, right is right. And the really great thing is that they will tell you the truth. If your boat won't be ready for 3 weeks, that's what they tell you. They don't lie just to make you happy. They do what the say and they say what they do.
Go here to compare all 90hp motors. You want the biggest cubic inch and the most cylinders. An outboard is an air pump, the more air you pump, the more power it makes. 4 cylinders will pump more air than 3.
