Karen,
For me the fallacy in your argument is that over the years we have
seen numerous people make posts in rec.boats and the other boating NGs
whenever they feel they have been slighted by a manufacturer. I can
not remember one complaint about Ficht and Etec, even with the
problems they had initially.

I would still look at a 4 stroke and compare the weight, gas consumption
and sound levels between the 4 stroke and Etec, but I can not find
anything in the last few years that validates your premise.

Honestly Reggie there have been heaps here in this NG, at the time there
were even Ficht specific boards, damn in texas apparently they were
putting up bill boards (how appropriate!!) saying Ficht sucks!! (don't
cross the good ol' boys) but you don't seem motivated to find them, you
claimed you couldn't find any failed E-Tecs so in 2 minutes I rustled up
pages of them for you, but you just ignored them. Same story with Matt
he claims to want to know but then .............. doesn't.

I know you want me to spoon feed you but it's OK I don't have anything
to prove, however note this is a re-run of Ficht using Ficht & you don't
even take the idiots to task!!!! What you think they'll be your
friends?? believe me when it happens again they'll dump you & run away
as they did last time, with your money also if you're silly enough.

What say you of the E-tec, 11gph @ 35mph??? from the king of the OT
posts, or when Del posts the actual news you sit back & let the world's
biggest non boating nuff nuff liar Krause come out with the wrong boat
story!!!;-) Damn they said that exact same thing about Ficht!!! I
promise you:-) when they had worn out the "it's the oil", "it's the
fuel", "it's the owner", they then said "it's the boat!!":-) Did you
like the fuel BS'ter's rejoinder?? "bull" Honestly this place is a hoot,
again thanks to all.

Karen,
I can find problems related to the 1998-2000 model years. I can not
find any on the newer models. As far as "making friends", I really
don't care if someone likes me or not, but I am not interested in
getting into a ****ing contest with anyone, since it does nothing to
further boating discussions. While some people might prefer to respond
to your posts with flames, I have always kept the discussion on topic.

Since these forums discussing the problems with the 2001-2005 Ficht/Etec
problems are readily available, can you point me to a few of them? You
should be able to find a few much quicker than it takes you to type your
average post.
