The first is on the cop boat that never leaves its slip.

Second was on a ProLine 21, looked like a repower. Floating in the
launch ramp area, with the operator trying again and again to get the
engine started. Engine turned, coughed and sputtered. Problem unknown to
me.

Third was on a Grady, also a repower, at the marina boat/motor repair
shop. Didn't stop to find out what was happening, of course.

Three eTecs. Never seen one running.

New technology!

I ahve yet to see the first one, outside of a picture. I've boated on
Carlyle many, many times and have seen some excellent craft, none E-
Tec equiped (that I know of)


The big yellow 'SeaToe' barge at Scappoose Bay had a pair of 'em on
it... for a little while.



What happened to them?

A guy I know recently repowered his Grady with new, twin Honda

225's.
What sweet running engines!


There are two 90hp Hondas on the big pontoon boat taxi running
back and forth across Charleston Harbor from Patriots Point
Museum to the main peninsula at the tourista/cruise dock.

I asked the captain how many hours are on them. He said he
didn't know any more as the hourmeters didn't last THAT long...
(c;

He was thinking about buying them some new impellers when they
changed the oil in them....
