Author	Topic:   30 hp E-TEC backordered REVISED
macfam	posted 07-07-2009 05:46 PM ET (US)         Good news! I checked with my local Evinrude dealer today, and they called BRP for a 20", electric start, power trim and tilt E-TEC 30 hp for my 13' Super Sport. Much to our surprise(them and me) a 30 hp will be shipped and delivered, possibly by the end of THIS WEEK. I had plunked down a deposit, and I'm excited to hear the good news. The dealer has had 9 small E-TEC's on order since last fall. Because I was serious and willing to make a deposit, they will supposedly get priority, and the engine will be on its way. Stay tuned.
