30' SeaCraft??? Is there such a thing??? Oh well an ad is an ad I guess:-).

Here is the proof positive the dealer who posted this deceptive BS will
say &/or do most anything to make a sale (although a sail would be much
more reliable than an E-Tec even in the doldrums)

At 5400 (305rpm below their dealer claims) just what HP would a 250
E-Tec be actually making??? a simple bit of math would indicate as low
as 213-220HP!!! nothing even like 250HP (per engine 18.93 gph /0.0888gph
per HP = 213HP)

Any of you actual boat owners (that leaves liar Krause & hangers on out)
know that for ANY 2 stroke OB(s) to be putting out agg. 500HP on 37gph
is just fairy tale stuff.

The E-Tec dealers have set up an fake page to spruik untruths hoping
they won't get sued & even there, which is chock a block full of BS!!!
they claim just ONE 250HP E-Tec uses over 22 gph, so for 2 X 250HP
E-Tecs it's an absolute minimum of 44-45 gph.

This is a paste of the claims for just ONE 250HP E-Tec; NB:they're not
even game enough to advertise under their own names with this crap &
runaway comes along claiming 37gph FOR 2 x 250HP E-Tecs. No seriously
what a BS'ter!!!just how stupid does he think you really are???:-) Are
you so non boater or scared you remain pathetically silent?? this is
exactly how they got away with the Ficht deception.

(Even the latest high tech. Cat diesels need 26 gph to make 510HP &
they're nothing like a glorified whipper snipper engine)

This dealer particularly relies upon there being enough silly idiots
&/or non boater gullible in the NG to even ask; but ask & see what
answers they give, always a hoot:-).

This one has NG priors for running away when the Fichts fell in a table
drain, leaving all & any he had deceived to wonder just what sort of
person he is, I already knew:-).

Either the dealers & this one in particular, are getting Ficht/E-Tec
desperate already (as they should be) or the engines don't make anywhere
near the HP they claim???

All other "independent" tests show the E-Tecs are fuel hungry at power
(don't worry about their deceptive claims, the so called savings are at
idle/low under 2000rpm power, when they're dangerously lean 35-40 to 1!!
so lean a single firing of the plug can't be sure of lighting it).

I better warn you the very same was tried in the marketing of Ficht gee
even by the very same people!!!:-)
