Rob
Based on what I have read here and on the manufacturers sites I would prefer
an E-Tec to power the next boat I purchase.

Having said that..........what is the future of 2 strokes? Will the E-Tec
survive future new and stricter emmisions standards for marine engines? Are
they as environmentally friendly as the 4 strokes manufactured by the other
marine outboard engine big boys?
Uh, you might want to search on some large-scale "boating" discussion
boards.
Karen? Is that you?
Tom,
So you too have noticed that HK's position concerning E-Tec and hi-tech
2 strokes, is directly related to the engine he owns. I can remember
when he thought 4 strokes were a piece of **** that added extra weight
to the rear of the boat, and really didn't have any other advantage over
the hi-tech 2 strokes. He must have made over 2000 posts directed
towards Karen discussing this in detail. I think it was basically
"Karen you don't know ****, you are an asshole, and why do you come here
quoting from other boating discussion boards when people who own them in
rec.boats all love them. .

I think he is just pimping for whatever product he owns.
He has a right to his opinion and if that opinion changes over time,
he's just like the rest of us.

I just don't agree with him.
And he's a really nice guy. He's just got a few foibles which we should all
overlook!

As do you, me and everybody else except Chuck who is almost never
wrong.

It's called being human.

Except for Chuck.


Tom,
Chuck and you might have disagreed on some issues, but most of his
discussion has focused on issue being discussed. I don't think he has
ever trolled with posts, just so he could say "See I told you SWF was a
real asshole". No one in this NG has come close to Harry in hurling
more personal insults, and trolling for more fights than Harry. There
is a world of difference between the normal disagreement you and Chuck
has discussed and the name calling by the NG's favorite troll.
