Excellent sea keeping RIB's but sadly no longer made, and I certainly wouldn't want an ETEC on the back. On RIB's, ETEC engines had a bad habit of cracking the clamshell mounting brackets, as well as endless woes of blown ECU's,and faulty injectors.

They definitely are a marmite engine.

However, regardless of its issues whilst in production, it is no longer made and the spares availability is getting tighter by the day, with super high pricing.

Trying to stay with 2 stroke tech is what put the nail in the coffin for evinrude (BRP). At the time ALL the other big players were investing heavily to produce super reliable and efficient 4 stroke engines.

This article really tells it as it is
