Let's face it Bill, Karen is in a whole 'nother universe on this one.

Ok, thanks for the 1 in 3 explanation.

I'm with you on the new Evinrude E-TEC motors, since they've been out
almost 2 years, they've had an enviable reputation for dependability. Unless
you run one, it's hard to believe an engine starting within 1 revolution of
the flywheel, hot or cold. I'll be setting up a 33 HydraSport with triple
225 E-TECs in the next few weeks. We also have one out with triple F225
Yamahas, so it will be a great comparison.


2 years!!! he claims it because it's 3/2/05!!! these dealers are
slippery little suckers:-) you did that exact BS line with Ficht to
Bill:-) they're just getting to the market. The rest of this para is
just classic Bill spam:-)


I have 2 customers who are good friends and one has a 23 HydraSport with a
2001 225 FICHT and the other has the same boat with a 2002 Yamaha F225
4-stroke. The FICHT uses less fuel and outperforms the Yamaha by a good
margin. The owner is also happy that his FICHT has lower maintenance costs
than the Yamaha does. The Yamaha is a bit quieter at dead idle, but louder
at running speeds. By the way, they both do a lot of trolling, both dead
slow with liveys and fast trolling with plastics. They then blast wide open
to the next fishing area. No problems for almost 4 seasons, and they fish
year 'round. No "lean burn" problems that Karen keeps yappin' about.


Gee & this is from a Florida dealer who "Never" even saw a failed
Ficht!! Yeah sure Bill, you couldn't go to a ramp without tripping over
one:-) So you know 2 who are happy how many do you know who aren't???

Indeed again tell me where have all the Fichts gone!!! (long time
passin') other than a few with you dealers they're thin on the ground,
surely the price of alloy would have dropped if they all got melted down
which is what should have happened to them:-)


I also have crabbers and commercial fisherman as customers with over 2000
hours on their FITCHs and a SeaTow operator that went over 3000 hours on a
pair of 2001 V6 FICHTS and just bought 2 new 2005 models.

Bill you are just delivering the dealer spam you learned at the last
junket, give it up!!! Ficht didn't work for the reasons we gave you in
98, E-Tec will be exactly the same because it is the same!!!

Not one of the proper engine people (GM, Ford any of the
Japanese,Europeans nobody none), have even bothered to try Ficht because
they have proper engineers who know about this stuff. After all it "is"
rocket science:-) So it's no shame you can't understand but you should
be ashamed for continuing to tell this BS & also for running away like a
naughty child when OMC went feet up in the table drain.


Karen is definately "out there", no experience, no training, never been
around the FICHTS or E-TECs, never drove them or took them apart, never
talked to hundreds of satisfied owners, yet tries to "convince" others that
she knows all.


I look forward to a debate with you on the technical merits then Bill
any time you like, after all I've been offering this challenge since 98,
maybe this time you'll have the gonads to have a try???

Been busy today so I'll keep the Krause lie of the day short.

This lying simpleton, after it became clear he was losing a thread
where he was displaying his usual lack of patriotism much less gratitude
for the brave men & women out there risking their everything, to keep
the likes of him safe, he just reverts to type.

But seriously can you imagine this uneducated union thug now claims
he is reviewing universities!!! & wait for it he poo poos the
engineering course!!! this from a lying uneducated union thug who
couldn't use a toaster without a union authorised electrician in attendance.

I've included just one of the follow up responses but it was such a
bald faced lie it even embarrassed the rejoinders:-)


I have visited West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and
the sub training facility at Groton. Some years ago, I actually did look
over descriptions of some of the course material at Annapolis and the
c.v.'s of some of the faculty. I'm sure the engineering course material
is fairly rigorous, though it is more "trade-oriented" and did not look
up to MIT or CalTech standards. I mean, if your goal is to be an
aeronautical engineer, you're going to get better training at MIT or
CalTech or at any of a large number of other engineering schools. I
thought the faculty academic credentials no better than what is found at
a typical smaller four year public university. The military academies
turn out military officers with an education, not highly educated
military officers. But that is their purpose, eh?

Holy molly, grandma, put on your high boots.


Harry Krause, admitted graduate in the humanities with a degree in

English
is hereby qualified to critique the engineering curriculum of not

only West
Point, but also that of the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy and
compare it to that of MIT and CalTech.


The above paragraph is a classic.


You missed your calling Harry.
