    Has anyone heard of/or seen the 1825MX with a 200 E-TEC? I’ve seen a few with Merc’s but no Evinrudes.

    I haven’t seen one, but its probably just a matter of finding a dealer that sells Skeeter and Evinrude and asking them to put it together. I’m just confused why someone wouldn’t want a Yamaha.

    Bigfife’s correct. Skeeter will sell a boat without a pre-rigged motor. You’ll just need to find a Skeeter dealer that sells E-Tec and have them rig the motor for you, along with controls, after the boat has been delivered to the dealership.

    Check out wwww.skeeterboats.com for a list of dealers here >>> http://www.skeeterboats.com/buying_guide/dealer_locator/

    You’ll need to cross reference dealers in your area with those that carry the motor you’re looking for. Most carry Yamaha but not all. Happy hunting.

    Because You can’t put a 4stroke 200hp yamaha on that boat yet so they prefer a 200Etec instead of the HPDI can’t say that I blame them! especially when Etec will still be making that mototrin the future and Yamaha plans to discontinue the 200HPDI when they develop the new 200 four stroke.

    I would take a hpdi over an etec all day. I would also rather have a hpdi over a yamaha f200. Until these new offshores I wasnt ever impressed with the older 4 strokes 200+hp.

    Actuall, you don’t really need to find just a Skeeter dealer that also sells Etec’s. I was seriously entertaining the MX1825 / Etec 200 combo this spring until my wife and I decided to wait a year / wait to see that the 20 foot MX will be like. I was thinking of purchasing the boat from one (possibly distant) dealer, and have the motor purchased and installed from another local dealer… the Etec dealer needs to be a full service dealer (think there is actually another name for that). Some Etec dealers are able to buy boxed motors and rig on boats, others can only do servicing of the motors. I had a local dealer that I found to be reputable. Big bonus was this last spring Etec incentives with free rigging including controls, and a 2 year warranty upgrade added up to some serious cash savings… that was one of the reasons I was entertaining the idea so seriously.

    I was just curious to see if anyone had this setup, and what they were running for speed/prop/ etc.

    Wish we could help but I’ve honestly never seen or heard of one rigged with an Etec.

    I know this isn’t an MX1825 with an Etec, but as info, here is a thread about a guy who put an Etec on his WX2100. Perhaps the overlap in subject matter will still find some of the info in the thread useful to you.

    It is a thread on walleyecentral.com by alwaysffb titled “’08 Skeeter just had a “heart” transplant – anyone done this? Results?”
