I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with your Evinrude and that it did not meet your expectations for a new motor.
Please give the dealer a chance to have corrected everything and go enjoy your time on the water. Let us know how everything works out, we want to hear from you.

If as you say that your Evinrude E-TEC 115 HP does not excell in performance over a 90 HP 4-stroke on a similar boat, then something is not set up correctly or the motor needs inspection and servicing by trained techs.
There is an exhaust valve that tunes the sound waves inside the mid-section for acceleration and for increased power. It fthe actuator is not operational or the vavle carbon-stuck, the 115 will not perform well.
It may be to your advantage to try a different dealer. Spark plugs are a warranty item for the first 3 years or 300 hours as they are considered an emission component. Your dealer should have know that. The emission warranty is in your operator's guide.
