repowered my 36 contender with four new 300 E-tecs.had four 250 e-tecs figured 200 more hp wouldn't hurt. tops out in smooth water at 125mph.not bad with a 10thousand pound boat +600 gallons of gas + gear
I think the E-tec is the best outboard on the market faster more fule efficency great all around motor. I have a150 e-tec on my 18ft flats boat 80mph+. and four 250 e-tecs on a 36 contender 92mph.
