I've had ETECs and they were awesome. Couldn't have been happier.

10 years, unbelieveable. If the warranty covers all items, as wwahl wrote in post #2, I would definitely want to fully read that warranty. I would tend to think that Bombardier is a very trustworthy company, having been around longer than I have been alive (I am 51 years old). I love Mercury, but a 10 year warranty, that is a strong eye-opener. A very smart move for sales.

Wow! That is awesome! I have been a bit skeptical about the Evinrudes, but they do have a following. Other than it looking a bit funky, it sounds like it should be more of a contender!
I was actually looking at a 35'CC with a pair of 250 Etec's and 600+ hours. I was wondering about repowering it with something else, but if I could get a good deal on the boat.....well this is something to consider!

What is "normal maintenance" for an ETEC?
Aren't they the "push the button" or similar to winterize ? Due to a case of temporary insanity, I briefly entertained adding a pontoon boat to the stable; one of the sales pitches (which is a big deal in MI) was the fact that you could put it away for winter and if we were blessed with a nice day put it back in the water and simply push the button (turn the key backward?) to re-winterize it.
What else do you do besides change the lower unit lube and fuel/air filters for "normal maintenance ?

Now what happens at/after 500 hours, I haven't a clue.
Just looked at Dubbert's website, they're advertising the G2 300 at $26k complete, rigged, and including the first 5yr/500hr service. Still more expensive than a 300XS and a hydraulic steering package, but not by much!
