On the plus side, BRP is putting the Johnson brand into sleep mode for
a couple of years (nice little rumor about what the Johnson brand is
going to become) and ETECs are going to be produced in three new small
flavors - 9.9, 15 and 25 and being introduced in 2009.

Soon, ETEC will rule the world!!!

MMMUUUUUUAAAWWWWAAAAHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!

All this with hardly any sales and very few dealers. eBay?

Of course Harry - you would know.

90% of the outboards on display were ETECs at Boston.

Setting up at the CMTA show yesterday, mostly ETECs. A few Verados,
very few Yamahas.

Only the stuck in the mud, Lego built Parkers were wedded to Yamaha.

Ancient technology - move up to the real world Harry - go ETEC.

You know you want to. :)


There are fewer eTecs on the water around here than Suzukis, and there
are very few Suzukis. If eTecs are so great, why are so few of them
being sold?

Because people in Maryland and Virginia don't have a clue?

ETEC is making a real penetration in the four stroke market up here -
you are seeing more and more of them as the smarter folks actually
look into it and see that Yamaha - well, no other way to put it - is
largely made in China, less efficient, less power-to-weight ratio and,
frankly, suck. :)

Heh, heh, heh...

VE VILL RULE ZA VORLD!!!

I was just pointing out what the Parker dealer said when I asked the
question. which seemed to run counter to what some of the bay boaters
were postulating.

Which moronic bay boater(s) were doing the postulating?
