Default E-Tec worth the risk when they cost as much as a medium sizedcar???

Karen,
The problem with your hypothesis is that all the kick-backs, brides,
rebates, volume incentives and whatever provided from the mfg'er to the
dealer also apply with the 4 stroke engines. No dealer has to rely on
E-Tec as their source of income, and can make just as much money selling
4 stroke as they can 2 stroke. If your hypothesis of E-Tec's problems
was correct, it would be much easier for a dealer to provide proof of
the problems with E-Tec, sell the new customer a 4 stroke and look like
a genius and savior to the customer.


Not really Reg, when the Ficht debacle was in full free fall it beggared
belief people like runaway william were still straight faced telling
people all was well.


It wasn't till after the bankruptcy when the administrator had a look at
the dealers' arrangements & declared they couldn't claim the rebates,
plan payments etc etc etc, which totaled ... wait for it .... 30% that's
30% markup on a 15000+ engine!!!


Karen was the *only* person warning of the Ficht debacle. All the usual
suspects were dissing her warnings. Time and history proved she was
right all along. It's in the NG archives.

That 7 pounds of trigger pull is a disqualifier, and 20 gauge is not the

You'll find out why 7 1/4 oz pull is to much first time you shoot
sporting clays.


Oh wait, that's 7 1/4 *pounds* of pull according the the review.

What you post is b.s. piled on b.s. piled on b.s. Nothing more.


Please do tell us about your fab Zimmermanlike lobsterboat, Krause. You
