Unfortunately, you're not old enough to recall Karen accurately forecast
the Ficht debacle. She took on the Billgrans of the NG and *proved* them
wrong. Suspect history does repeat itself, Donald.

Only my mother calls me 'Donald'!
I'm old enough...I just wasn't around here way back then.

Yes, many contributors were not *there* back then...as is the case to
this day. History has proven Karen to be correct on most technical
issues of controversy. If she takes a strong position, it's wise to pay
attention.

Skipper,

Many wise people have supported unpopular positions and have been later
been proven correct. The problem I have with Karen's position is,
except for the initial first two years there has not been any abnormal
problem with Ficht or E-Tec. The initial problems was corrected, and to
the best of my understanding, the owners had their motors covered under
warranty. When I do a search on Ficht or E-Tec problems, the only
problems I can find relate to the initial problem.

Why have all the consumers, and their were many that complained during
the first two years, suddenly stopped complaining?

The only logical conclusion is the Ficht/E-Tec problem has been solved.

Why does Karen refuse to post links to the consumer complaints she has
posted in rec.boats. The logical conclusion is they relate to problems
that arose in the first two years and have since been corrected.

Those who are supporting E-Tec technology have done a much better job of
presenting their position. Karen speaks very loudly, but is not
effective in presenting a logical argument to support her position.
