I need some feedback from E-tec Owners. I'm looking to purchase a new boat and motor soon. I have had my mind set on an E-Tec since they came out. Yesterday a dealer (sells Yamaha) told me that the E-tec would have substantial vibration at slow spped. I mostly troll fresh water and have owned many Johnson and Evinrude motors from 235 HP to 3 hp. I am tempted by the 18' Polar Craft withe 90HP Yamaha the dealer is showing me. Nice looking fishing boat. I am also loking at the 17'6" SB Starcraft which I was thinking the 90 E-tec would work well with. Any input on the vibration or the setup would be appreciated.
