Take this example of recent times, in his sad efforts to support E-Tec
he comes out with total BS & you say nothing??? What are you that lonely
you dare not even ask for fear the bullies won't play with you
anymore??? Don't be, they're just the usual non boating idiots we have
to tolerate around here always have & always will, but at least hold
them to their own blatantly false claims. paste of just some E-Tec claims
all from just one E-Tec spruiker but hey this one is a true Krausite.

Yep, Krauses and his butt sniffers like Gene know nothing about boats
and real boating.

Oh Gene!!!! Read this, "cruising" @ 35MPH on his claimed E-Tecs 8-11 US
gph!!!!! The contender with twin 225 anythings will be almost 30 gph at
35mph.

Does no good confusing Krausites with phacts.

OR;- do you really think this nuffnuff has any idea what a contender
might weigh, much less that he owns one with twin 225 E-Tecs????? Come
on Gene embarrass yourself as usual & say you think this is for real.
I'll send it to the contender people for you:-)

Again, it does no good providing phacts to the Kloistered Krause Krowd.
They generate their own truths. They have ruined a once great NG with
their mind-numbing ignorance and BS.

But when the "real" side-by-side tests for speed, hole shots, etc.
facts arrived it was just another lie!!! as big & false as any the
dealers will tell:-) Except this one tries to gain cred by claiming to
have bought 2 of these slow, heavy, expensive & fuel hungry things &
that's not even mentioning the risks related to the Ficht based design &
you say nothing??? Cowards you really are.

Impossible the educate a stone, Karen.

Yet the original BS'ter who I suspect doesn't even have an E-Tec by the
way, you let off scott free??? none of you even ask??? Pathetic no
wonder you get ripped off by this low injection pressure, lean mixtures
at power, continuous spark, no proper lubrication mumbo jumbo, you've
been warned ............................. again:-)

So true!

Well, once again Karen is "blown out of the water" with actual facts.

Here are the performance results with twin 2006 250hp E-TECs that only
consume 20.7 gph at about 35 mph on a heavy 30' SeaCraft, less than 11
gph per motor, just like Gene said.

That is so much better fuel economy than Karen's contention that a boat
that size should burn 30 gph at 35 mph!

Sorry, Skipper,

Those fuel consumption and performance figures are FACTS, not "spuik".

You were one of those disagreeing with Karen when she correctly pointed
out the original Ficht debacle. Respectfully, Bill, did you ever admit
she was right and you were wrong at the time? Did you ever apologize to
her for your mistaken position?

Bill,
I wonder how long E-Tec needs to be in use before we can decide if their
service record is acceptable or comparable to 4 stroke engines.

Just thought I'd ask...and offer some insight into your long running
battle with Karen. She was *proven* right then...and you should have
been big enough to have admitted it.

Is the data for one motor or both motors?

My 200 HP Optimax takes 19 GPH at WOT .. so 37 GPH for 500 HP wouldnt
be bad ...

All other ETec fuel data I have seen so far the ETec got their ass
whipped by the optimax (even HDPI).
