Id bet your buddys boat would move along w any 115, the etecs are nothing special, on some hulls they are actually slower than a merc or yammie all depends on how its setup up and how high motor is set w the right prop. I actually priced a motor for a guy today my guy in LI has 150 optimax brand new for 8500 cash and carry. Youd need about 750 for cables controls and they have 5 yr warrantys. Theres lots of motors around that are in good shape, you just make the seller bring it to your choice of marina and spend 200 bucks for a scan and a compression test and look over, very hard to hide things from experienced mechanics/marinas especially on newer stuff, it sticks out like a sore thumb
