# from MICHIGAN says Lol must be bad more like it
As of Friday at the Everstart they had on the Detroit River. The e-tech
had 3 blown power heads, one boat's motor caught on fire and blew the
cowling 30 feet in the error. Forcing the gentlemen aboard to abandon
ship. LOL E tech went over like a fat kid in dodgeball on erie.


from OHIO says from what i hear...
Etec's are having their problems, and Verados are doing well so far. )

From some of the forums, plenty more will try to keep you up to date.

Karen,
Do you have a link to this info?

According to a NJ boat surveyor, your thinking about Verados is incorrect..

"... The Vrat club jumped all over me after I asked a guy in Cape May how he
liked his Verado's. He lifted two engine covers of the three that were on
the 38 Fountain and both were waiting on new powerheads. Then he stated a
buddy was also waiting on another powerhead for his Vrat on his boat. I was
called a liar, a Merc hate monger and few other choice words because I
didn't have pictures. Since then I've seen several of them apart in
dealerships and more than few being towed in. These Vrat boys are definetly
running with tight blinders on."

While I'm not inclined to turn it into a personal crusade like Karen, the
simplicity the old 2 strokes are completely out of the picture on these
things. I see no reason why anyone would not just get a 4 stroke.

Karen could be absolutely correct in her evaluation of Ficht and Etec,
but I can not find ANY documentation to verify her posit. I normally
question anyone who has a vendetta or personal crusade, especially when
they can not provide any links to support their position.

I like the simple technology of 4 stroke, but have not seen anything to
support Karen's position, and have only heard positive support by owners
and professionals in the business. If Etec was the disaster that Karen
believes, all 4 stroke mfg'ers and dealers would emphasize the
unreliability of their product and the problems with Etec. I have not
seen anyone using this as a sales tool against Etec.
