Disappointed with etec purchase

[rbutterworth]

Seriously, ever since we put these things on the boat, the winds have been too high to go out...., what's up with this weather pattern over west florida?...I thought we could go out this weekend, now their calling for 5-8 ft. seas..., winds 15-25 kts....I don't care what kind of engine you run, this is miserable!!!!!

Bright side: a. we need the rain b. we're saving fuel.....

that doesn't help a whole lot!

WOW- Butter, You will get some attention with that title! The water was great for us today, so was the fishing! To bad they weren't biting!

I knew it was Etec's causing the windy weather....................

19 cancelations for me in the month of May. Worst month of May I've ever seen.

Guess its time to blame BRP and initiate the internet strong arm tactic so I can get paid.

Someone needs to invest in several thousand dollars of wind surfing equipment. It's sure to quit blowing immediately.

Nah, I just need to take my son to the beach to fly his kite. Works every time

As I mentioned in another thread they may change Floridas nickname from The Sunshine State to The Windy State.... I'm about to! I put less than 1/3 my hours normal this winter down there....

Hmmm... Maybe all that hot air coming from the 4 stroke camps at the Miami show caused the 15-25 SE winds we had for about 40 days straight

Actually 2 ole boy's down in the bahamas got a little warm one night and decided to crank up their etecs. That wind you feel is called torque.

It's "Global Winding". Really! I read about it in an Al Gore book. Everybodys talking too much. I am making a personal commitment and not letting my wife talk to me anymore. If we could get the politicians to shut up, we could all get out fishing again.

I spent this weeks fuel money on a new rod and reel. Gotta support the economy :-)
