Unregestered, I have a 60 two stroke Yamaha and find it all I want in a fish boat. I would consider the ETEC 75 if pulled skiers or want max performance. I don't think there is a big diference in fuel burn, so I feel you need to decide if you want the additional 5-10 MPH and faster hole shot the 75 will provide or the reduced purchase price from the smaller motor.

Space for two batteries is tight. People have installed a 24 volt unit but I feel that may be overkill on the 170.

I suspect your resale may be somewhat higher with the 75. BOB
