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.

She hasn't been proven right. Karen has been consistantly wrong on most
counts. Just look at the recent post about fuel consumption at 35mph. In
actuality, her erroneous assumption was almost 50% higher that the actual
facts. That is what happens when "armchair admirals" spout off with no hands
on experience, training, or even seeing or driving an E-TEC, FICHT, or any
other model.

I work on outboard motors as a full time job. If E-TEC and FICHT were so
bad, as Karen claims, there would be piles of blown engines and every
Evinrude dealer would be out of business as no one would buy them. It ain't
that way, Bombardier is the 3rd largest seller of outboards in the US,
behind 1st place Merc and then Yamaha.
