selling his optimaxes with less than 400 hours on them to get etecs.


let me hear what the results are .. I honestly doubt he will save fuel
by doing that..


we will see - i'm betting he saves at least 20%. ill know by the end
of feb which is when he takes delivery.


Definately let me know .. it would be interesting to see ...


i can tell you that i get the exact same gph rate with the contender
fisharound (31 foot long) that is 7,000 pounds heavier than its
predecessor. a contender 31 cc. the cc had 225 fichts, the fisharound
has 225 etecs..


Interesting indeed ... may also mean the FICHTs were gas guzzlers
