Yes, Gary -
Les is my son - and EQ is a dealer for a bunch of brands - Honda, Johnson, Nissan, etc. EQ was a Yamaha service center for quite a while, but gave that up. Wish he still worked on Yamahas, but c'est la vie.
IMO and experience there just isn't a bad one in the bunch. This is a tough business, and they have to be good to hang in there. I've been able to run just about all of them - some for many hours, and I'd be hard pressed to pick a winner.
I've been fishing for 6-7 years (over 2,000 hours) with Honda -- absolutely bullet-proof. The Yamahas have been 100 percent reliable and the lists goes on! I'm really sold on E-Tec, and think they have really done their homework... time will tell.
