Yep.....just for fun today, I called a couple of different dealers, ETec...

Here's what I found out.....90/65 vs. 115/80 Weight difference is 25 or 55 pounds, can't read my own writting....

Cost setup the same way.......$11,154 vs. $13,519.....both of those were "out of state" prices......

Remember Etec don't come with a pump....base price was $8160 vs. $9220

Tiller handle, pump, special cable, Tach made the difference....oh the 115 has to have a $200.00 oil tank, cause its not built in.

I've had Yamaha...50/36 and the present Mercury 60/40...ran the crap out of the Yamaha but it nickle/ dimed me to death.....this Mercury has been wonderful......NO PROBLEMS at all.

I'll stay with the quoted 90/65 Etec....because the package price was so good.
