Check out e-tecinfonet.org for some interesting data including
performance/consuption info with triple engines.

Thanks, Butch,

Karen,

Notice both the triple engine E-TEC 250 hp rigs can cruise close to 35mph
while consuming less than 9 gph per motor. Each one burns less than your
stated 30 gph at 35 mph when you were talking about with lighter twin engine
boats and didn't believe Gene's first hand account of fuel consumption! Once
again you are "blown out of the water" with published facts and not
someone's anonymous internet posts.

You really are insane runaway:-) The "claim" was a Contender 31
"cruising" at 35 mph on between 8 & 11 gph!!!! NO mention of per engine
if that was the claim then right there is the admission it was a
deliberate deceptive lie by a NG BS'ter!!! & I've queried it ever since
& still no "per" engine claim.

You really don't understand do you??? a very fast & light boat with lots
of prop pitch (for top speed) & 3 engines!!!! can do 35mph on 27 gph
which is almost exactly as I worked out for the original deception I said;

It's very high 20s -30 gph.

So your latest attempted marketing deception falls over again. The BS
dealer marketing page claims a ridiculous 23.28 gph @ 35 mph!!!! the
"corrected" numbers for that BRP dealer deception page are 27 gph.

Just as you tried with Ficht you need to silence me because I challenge
your marketing BS, I still can't believe it but people actually fall for
your BS.

I don't care how you do it 1 big engine, 2, 3, or 6 it will take about
300Hp to push boats of that size & weight at 35mph & that will take the
best part of 30gph of fuel & ALL the proper independent tests confirm
same for all the 2 strokes, & as expected the E-Tecs use MORE fuel than
other 2 strokes & of course more than a proper 4 stroke.

The BS dealer page is not "real" testing at all this is just false
advertising by the boat/engine suppliers (the dealers group) on a faked
up web page so they don't get sued as they should be for spreading such
BS. If they actually published this marketing BS anyone who fell for it
could & almost certainly would sue when it transpired it was just
outright BS; that's if Yamaha or Brunswick didn't get them into court first.

Funny thing is whenever the E-Tecs are independently tested they're
heavy, overpriced, fuel hungry dogs?? Again that's not even factoring in
that they're Ficht originating:-)

So would people actually buy these engines knowing the lengths you
dealers will go to carry off the latest deception???? What are you
really trying to hide?? Yes clearly you're trying to hide the real E-Tec
fuel consumption but are you dealers scared people will find out about
the reliability of running engines lean at power???


I drove that same HydraSport late last year and the power is amazing for
that much weight. The boat has a good hull for rough water and the motors
will push you back into the leaning post when you accelerate from a dead
stop or from a cruise speed.

A 35 ft boat at under 8200lbs??? is heavy???? Don't buy one with your
own money:-)


These are large heavy boats, add up all the weights including full gas tanks
that cost over $1000 to fill up.

So don't use E-Tecs they're fuel hungry as the "independent" non E-Tec
sponsored tests show.
