I'm looking at two Hobie 15 Power skiffs. One is powered by an 88 50 HP Yamaha, no trim or tilt. The other a 2005 50 HP evinrude Etec with about 10 hours on it which has trim and tilt. I'm leaning toward the Etec since hopefully it would be like a new motor and I would not have to worry about it for a few years. But Yamaha is a lot cheaper. Both boats are in good shape. Ao what would you do for the sake of argument.
