Today's Etec sighting...
 

Stopped by the harbor this afternoon and the Coasties were out doing patrols. I caught a glance of their standard RIB, about 20-22' I'd guess, and she was well hung, with a pair of 150 Etecs. I got a really poor pic and my phone. I'll get it up tomorrow if its worthwhile.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

You'll get it up 'tomorrow". Those little blue pills might help ya out AIR. ;D

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Coasties probably got some of this. ;D

Hammer, not sure how long them little blue pills been out now, but I remember telling wifey that if it ever got to that point, that she wasn't doing her job and it was time for a trade in. That went over like a fart in a space suit, but oh well ;D

Chum, those commercials just never get old ;D

Now, that RIB was essentially the same size as our V20's, the thing has got to haul tail with a pair of 150 tecs on it ;D

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Alright, finally made it to the office for a bit. *Things here are good, very little storm damage other than a little debris.

Anyhow, here's them Etecs....what a terrible picture...

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Nice view, Slot...did the coasties show up for an annual donation or somethin'??... :D ...


...and don't they have the no dockin' sign on the wrong end of the pier?... ::) ...

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Pics are in different places. The other sign is requesting that you contact the harbor master before spending the night. As for the coasties, they were in eating lunch ;D

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Hope ya sprang for lunch for 'em ;) ... might come in handy down the road 8) ...

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

I remember when I was a Coastie in Chicoteague the small boat station got Honda 4 strokes for their RHI. I just couldn't get over how quiet those things were. Made me wish I was a Boatswains Mate. They have all the fun, with the small boats anyway.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

What, no pictures of your V out on that calm water. ;D

Looks like your are going to have a great view when your office is completed.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Yeah, that Airslot ;)... he's got life by the Nortons 8) ...

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

That I do REEL, that I do....

I didn't get luch for the coasties on that day, but I have in the past. They also play golf for free ;D

Frayed....when were you stationed here?

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

93-96. I was at the Group, Electronics Technician.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Just missed ya, I got down here in 99.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Has anybody heard any confirmed negative reports on the E-Tecs yet. I checked out their site the other night but they did not have any bad items to recall.

These motors havent been out long enough for me to say they are as good as advertised. I am hoping they will live up to what they are advertising.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

I've not heard a complaint from an owner yet. I'll get the skinny on that coastie RIB soon enough I'm sure. There is a guy in our community with a Grady 190T, similiar to our boats, that has a 150Etec that he got last year. I know he loves his.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Air: is it still blowing at your house, I thought it was just about over but it is starting to kick up again.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Yep. blowing right good. IT should let up in a few hours, then blow again tomorrow as I understand it. Then it stays N NW 10-20 the rest of the week. Looks like we will warm up over the weekend ;D

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

No fishing though. :( :(

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

It'll come soon enough. Time is getting right ;)

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Do yall allow other people to put there boats over at the ramp or is it strickly privite.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Private, pending who ya know ;) With all the construction in the ramp area right now, its no joy. Great ramp 1 mile down the road in G'Backville

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

I saw that one but never went out or heard from someone that did. Youve been out of there before right.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

THree times a week. Thats my main ramp, even running to the ocean. It's halfway tween home and work.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Might have to try it one day this summer. Chincoteague is to hard to get to from Gargatha on any thing other then high tide.

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Yup, but its a two way street, hard to get to Gargatha from here ;D I'd be happy to show you around Chinc bay one day reel soon ;)

Re: Today's Etec sighting...
 

Let me finish my roller project and we'll get together.

I would not want to get to Gargatha from there. Chincoteague has a better inlet so I'm told. Not much water in Gargatha, but after this storm it could be a total different story.
