I have a ETEC 75..The prop is out of the water before the motor touches anything.
I believe the 90 has the same outside dimensions. I have a 2005 M with a 2006 ETEC motor.

Just got my EZ cleats back from Bill at boats4sail.
He is a one of a kind individual. Not only did he
convert my cleats for free,he refunded my postage.
If only there were more like him. A wonderful guy.

My 05 M ,with a 06 ETEC 75 ,Exceeds 24mph anytime
with 2, 200 lb people on board. Thats GPS.
The boat is lightly loaded and has 2 ,6gal cans on board.
The ETEC engine is a pleasure to own.

Thats just about what I paid for my 2006 E-Tec 75hp
for my 2005 blue beauty installed from a local dealer.

I bought my 2005 mac from Bill in wisconson. Towed it back home to Pennsylvania with my 1998 Chevy conversion Van 1000 miles. The V8 did a wonderful job. Speeds were above 70 many times.Never a problem until the hills of Pennsylvania were I had to go up in third gear. Had a trans cooler installed b4...

PVC pipe works well. The first year I screwed everything together.
The following year I found it difficult to line up all the holes.
So I used black plastic tape for the whole thing. It has worked wonderfully
in the last 2 years. Also so easy to knock it all down with a knife.

I have on two occasions travelled at over 15 mph with rudders down after leaving the marina on my 2005 M. Both times for five minutes or more before realizing it. There was no damage either time. It included several sharp turns.

I recall someone wanting Tempo value 6 fuel tanks.
Defender has them on clearance. I ordered 2 yesterday
and they were delivered today. $20.99 ea..

It always took me about an hour If all went well. Plus driving to the marina... 1.5 hours. :macm: So I didn't do much sailing.The weekends were tough. So many boaters wanting me to hurry up. On really hot days I had to sit down and have a drink b4 I launched. I am 72 so it isn't as easy as it was. W...

I have had no problems with my 2005 etec 75.
I can motor for 3 hours on a 6 gal tank running3500 to 4000 rpm And have gas left over.

I am wondering if this mod changes slip fees and insurance due to the longer length.

:macm: I had a lot of water leaking into my 2005m.The big one was the Traveller.I removed it and resealed .What a job. since then the hatch cover wouldn't close properly.I had to cut a small amount out to get it to close. The second was a port window.By now I was tired of fooling with leaks and used...

25 mph@ 5000 rpm. With GPS , two way average.
Wouldn't want more power. The best outboard yet.

I looked at the Mac for a number of years.When I made up my mind to buy, I called around to a number of dealers because I wanted a new boat. I spoke to you Bill and I was surprised to hear you say "you really don't need all the stuff you are thinking of buying. Wow ,a dealer that doesn't want t...

I was 70 when I bought my boat from Bill.Now I am 71 and in the second year with my 26m. Old is in the mind.Seems womens minds go old faster.
Go for it.
