Etec 115 HP - 2 Stroke - Engine sound only

This area probably isn’t a fair fight as the E-TEC is a 115hp and the Suzuki was only 90hp. That said, the move to the 115 obviously supplied me with significantly greater speed across the entire rev range but most noticeable was down low where the extra grunt of the DI two-stroke provided very effective holeshots. The 90hp Suzuki struggled to push out 33 knots fully laden while the Evinrude pushes out a little more than 38 knots at WOT with a full load. With one person and no equipment I’ve had my Full Boar up to 42 knots and at this speed it feels like terminal velocity. I don’t think the design of my boat could handle much more speed, so I’d say the 115 is the perfect match in terms of maximising hull performance.
