I have a chance to buy a 115 hp e tec. It will be going on a 17 ft hourston. What do you think of the motor and how will it perform. Thanks Willyd

Willy- have a look at this site.. http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/003355.html
Its an pld thread but it will still be useful.
My concern would be putting a heavy motor on an older Hourston 17ft. Make SURE the transom is sound. As far as performance-- it will scream!!! But are you skiing with the boat?

It has a 140 hp evinrude on now. I fish barkley sound which is a 1 hour and 15 minute ride to the cabin because it is usually rough.The 140 is getting tired but still does 42 mph. 47 mph when it was new. Just looking at my options. weigh etc Thanks Willyd

I have an e-tec on my Double Eagle.It was the best bet for weight 2 power over comparable 4-strokes. very happy with it , and never misses a beat . boat goes like hell and gets better mileage then boats same size with 4 stroke power . pops up outta the hole like toast in a toaster. scot

scotty boy. Were you coming into port alberni harbour 2 weeks ago. If it was I passed you coming into the harbour. What speed do you get and how much gas from the river to Chup point. I was going to ask you questions but you got out of the water and were gone. Thanks Willyd
