does? --

| Yanmar or someone from Japan makes small, marketable diesel outboards.
Some nameless company in the PRC makes smaller, uglier diesel outboards.
There is a legitimate corporation in Australia involved in diesel
outboards, but it isn't Ms. Smith's and, in fact, it has never heard of her. The only "proof" we have of her involvement in diesel outboards is a
fuzzy photo of a rusted-out homebuilt outboard of some sort clamped onto
a homemade bracket on the back of an old hulk boat, and her claim that
the outboard in that photo is a Japanese diesel bolted onto a homemade
lower unit. You think THAT makes Ms. Smith some sort of expert on diesel outboards
or diesel outboard research? She's no expert on anything, except, possibly, destruction of standard
English. |

| What kind of "proof" do we have that you actually do have that oft
claimed fab Zimmermanlike lobster boat, Krause? Further, what evidence
is there that you have any actually boating experience...other than
posting to this NG 24/7/365? The sad truth is that you're a rather weak-minded racist nincompoop who
actually believes your kind are the chosen. I've not seen anything from
your keyboard that leads me to believe you know anything about boats and
real boaters. You've backed away from every challenge and have been
proven a lying fraud. --

| I've followed these technical debates between you and Grannis for about
a decade. Gotta say I'm very disappointed in Bill's honesty and
unwillingness to admit it when he's been proven wrong as with Ficht.
Sad. --

| Yes, I would suppose anyone's honesty would disappoint a loser like you. By the way, what happened to your plans to move to the West Coast and
buy a trawler? |

| Sounds about right to me. 10 hp = 1 gph (gas) The laws of physics have not yet been over turned. |

| Are you claiming K does not know boats, or that we were not fed a large
dose of BS regarding Ficht problems from a well known NW boating sage? --

| Thanks, Butch, Karen, Notice both the triple engine E-TEC 250 hp rigs can cruise close to 35mph
while consuming less than 9 gph per motor. Each one burns less than your
stated 30 gph at 35 mph when you were talking about with lighter twin engine
boats and didn't believe Gene's first hand account of fuel consumption! Once
again you are "blown out of the water" with published facts and not
someone's anonymous internet posts. I drove that same HydraSport late last year and the power is amazing for
that much weight. The boat has a good hull for rough water and the motors
will push you back into the leaning post when you accelerate from a dead
stop or from a cruise speed. These are large heavy boats, add up all the weights including full gas tanks
that cost over $1000 to fill up. |

| Give it up, Bill. The trolldroll of Australia has no interest in data
that contradicts her nonsense. |

| Ahhh! Yes, indeedy! Actually, I think that her imaginary "blokes" have
left her, and she's now hoping Snipper will move down under and diddle her. |
Harry

|
| Well, allow her the moment - the truth is that she hasn't a clue, will
never have a clue, doesn't want to have a clue and is, in fact, a
dumbass. I've finally committed to changing the 200 FICHT on my Ranger over to
a 225 E-TEC - boats already at the shop being done as I speak - took
it down this morning. Can't wait for spring. |

| Out of curiosity...are there any significant expenses in terms of
different controls, electronics, et cetera, for the conversion? Or is it
just a "pull the old engine off, put the new engine on?" I've got a "verbal deposit" on a non-existent 300 hp Yamaha four
stroke...but I suspect it'll have to be on a different block than is
being used for the 225 and 250. If Yamaha ever gets around to
manufacturing it. As for Ms. Smith, my comments about here from years ago stand: she has
NO credentials. |

| You might want to check with these folk, http://www.boat-lettering.com/
before commissioning that E-Tec equipped boat this Spring. See if you
can work a discount on the name Titanic. --

| Tom knows what he is doing. You, on the other hand, do not. Why didn't you move out to the West Coast and buy that trawler? |
Harry
Feb 25
|
| Did I mention that in M/C racing I started out in the open class with a
TR-6. Now that was one fine bike. I dropped down to the 250 class
because that's where the hottest competition was. I believe you do
better competing with the best. NI know Bill Grannis knows what he's doing and respect his advice. It
puzzles me that he was so wrong in the Ficht issue with Karen. And Tom,
well, I remain unconvinced until he wins his stripes. You, however, are
well known to be full of schidt, chicken schidt. --

Did she drive them away? |

| I paid for a new control box, but I don't think it was necessary. Just part of the general upgrade for the Ranger. I'm also having a
couple of other things done to it at the same time. |

different blocks. Even the 2002 and 2003 engine blocks and internals
are completely different animals from the '04 and later models, with
hardly any interchageability. You may have a very long wait for an
"F300" . According to the Suzuki folks, it will be sometime in 2007 even before
their 300hp 4-stroke engine will be readily available. |

| Ahh. Thanks. My friendly Yamaha salesperson told me last year an F300
was being worked on, but it was several years away. Suzuki is not a brand I would buy. |
