My ex-gf's dad had a 60 Etec on an aluminum hull. During a summer I put 400 hours on it, with no problems other than over tightening the oil tank cap and cracking it.

The next boat he had was a 23' Gulf Coast with a 225 HO Etec, put 1500 hours on it in a year and a half with no problems.

Then we broke up, I miss fishing

ETA: The 60 got about 4mpg running wide open all the time, the 225 got about 2.5 running it mostly wide open.

I've only ever had a yamaha and it has been great. 25 tiller handle.

With that said, I would look at the Suzuki's. My buddy has 70 on a 17' express and it runs like a spotted assed ape. Not to mention, it's the quietest motor I've ever been around.
