I am looking to repower my 21 ft. Sea Boss Bay. There is a 150 EFI Mercury 25 inch shaft on it now. I have heard of this E Tec that is a 135 and develops 148 hp and is a real strong motor and very fuel and oil efficent. Does any one very much about it pro's and con's :huhor should I stay with another 150. Really would like to know if there is that much difference. Thanks for all the help
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL:angel

The 135 is basically a de-tuned version of the famous E-TEC 150 so it is putting out close to the max allowable hp for its rating. On a 21' flats boat there was only a 3mph difference between the 135 and the 150HO. The following is some more info that you may find interesting.
