Totally agree with cape coder, I believe the 40 etec would be too heavy, my neighbor is running a 40 etec on his 19 foot Carolina Skiff. I have my 13 whaler sport moored on the East Branch of the Westport River (near cape cod) and the Etec population is very high, among both recreational and commercial users, seems like every other boat has one. Granted the big boat yard here sells and services them but there are plenty of other choices nearby.
