Forgottencoast Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Well I just got an incredible deal and could not be more thankful or excited about what just happened today. Just got her tucked into the garage and boy I am praying for some warmer weather here in the panhandle. 1993 Hewes Bonefisher 16 w/ 2013 Etec 90 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBKEYS Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I would love to know what you think of your Etec. Specifically performance, reliability, hole shot etc. I have a 94 and am looking to repower. Your engine would certainly be one of the options.

Forgottencoast Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 DBKEYS- sorry just seeing this reply.. I really like this etec, it has given me zero troubles. Hole shot is decent, trim tabs down and motor trimmed right, it gets on plane no problem even with a load. With just me and a half tank of fuel I get around 38-39mph at WOT. Cruises great around 30mph at about 3/4 throttle. These boats have a tendency to squat as it is so the extra 100lbs or so compared to the original 2 stroke Yamahas it was made for do make a difference in draft, but when poling another person the boat balances out well and drafts around 1’ maybe an inch or 2 less if the bottom is soft. Hard bottom you will need a 1’ to pole comfortably without scrubbing and working your tail off. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
