Thanks guys. Yes I fish flats a lot so draft is one of the things Fred brought up about the weight of the Etec. My boat is actually rated up to 150 hp. Have an older 125 Mercury on it now. Never has been the best of running engines ( carborators) so I feel like the 115 hp will be enough. Any opinions?

Silver I have an 18 1/2 center console made by Off Shore power boats ( I believe out of business now). Was looking at going with 115 hp.

Thanks Silver. Lots of good points on each. I guess the big decider for me is dependability. In they can stand behind their product for 7 years, and I realize there will be limits on that, that is a huge statement in its self.

Yea UGAdog it is and is one reason I'm asking for help. Been totally against going back with 2 stroke but have heard and read some really awesome things about these new Evenrude that are hard to ignore. The Yammy's are solid too!!! I'm like a kid in the candy store with only one choice I can make ...

Guys, been thinking forever now I would repower with 4 stroke ( probably Yamaha). After some talking to Fred at Parkway about options, really been researching about the Evenrude Etech and really liked what I read. Anyone got any opinions that can help me decide? Right now with a 7 year warranty and ...

Hey thanks D'34 for the info and all the trouble of the map! Got to head back home tomorrow but maybe they will still be there in a week or two when I get to come back! Plans got screwed up today and didn't get to make it to the water. Thanks again!!

Hammer we got there about lunch and yea the current was OK then and that is when we caught the fish. This is only my second time fishing the canal so about the time we caught those fish the current died. So yea the current really does make the difference. Heading back now to give it another shot.

Intercoastal was slow.....Very Slow ... 4 trout only 1 a keeper ( which we didn't) lots of ladies!! Didn't go up to T would love to hear from someone who has. Guys I talked to on water were say slow for them also.

Familiar with Indian Pass but not quite sure on big bayou???

Thanks Charlie P. Plan on trying intercoastal tomorrow.

OMG!! That's what I'm talking bout!!

Anybody got any advice for fishisg the bay for trout redfish this time of the year? I've heard its tough. Maybe Intercoastal?

Well that does help my feelings to hear that. I was kinda bummed out after Saturday but u know the best is yet to come. Just never had quite that bad a day. Thanks for the info. Bad day on water always better than the time clock!!!!

WOW! Those are nice uns

Was there on Saturday n couldn't really find the fish only caught few flounder. Tried every gulp color with n without corks. What were u useing? I wondered if maybe the long tide change had that much affect on the tough bite????
