Selling boat with Etec
Looking for feedback from anyone that has sold a boat with an Etec. Did it take long to sell? Did you get less than you anticipated? How much less? Did you price it lower because it had an Etec? Anything else?
Potentially looking at selling mine and looking for others experience. Please do not reply unless you have actually sold a boat with an Etec. |

Doog,
I suspect that you already know the answer to all of the questions that you just asked. But, the good news is that there is a very severe boat shortage on the market right now. So, if the rig is clean, the motor has good compression and runs well you will not have any issues selling the rig. Depending on the buyer you may or may not need to drop the price a few $$ to make the sale. |

I just sold one last summer and it was a hard sell. I had allot of interest but in the end people would get wet feet and shy away. Took longer and I sold it for less than I had hoped. Worst part is I wasn't selling it because of the ETEC. I wanted a bigger boat but was fine with the ETEC. Would I have another? After that nope not for me. If I had to throw an amount out I would dare say I sold it for somewhere in the neighborhood of 15% lower than what it was worth before Evinrude stopped production.

My 2016 620 sold no problem this spring. I could have sold it 5 times for what I felt was good $$$$. Still had warranty left on hull and Etec.

My dealer had a bunch of new bass boats in inventory in the spring with ETec' & sold all of them.
Sales said they'll sell, parts are still available. Some guys want an ETec, period. Happy fishing!! |

Sold Boat with E-Tech
I sold my boat with E-Tech. I loved that motor, if I needed a motor I would look for a E-tech. The guy that bought it said he had no problem it being an E-Tech.

Some buyers will care, some won't. Toss it for sale and see how it goes.

I wanted my boat with the E-tec, Great motor, runs well tons of warranty. To the naysayers...Evinrude didn't shut the doors, they just ceased production on their motors, My dealer says he still has tech support and no issues getting parts.

I just bought a boat with an etec and I'm loving it.. I spoke to my long time dealer and yes, they just ceased production for now.. He also said that they will be producing etecs again and they will only be up to 150 hp. Nothing bigger...
I'm not sure why a lot of people are shying away from them.. I would buy another boat with an etec without a doubt... |
