I've been using WC for awhile and I'm beginning to wonder about somethings. Engines, Mercury OMC and Yamaha. Each seems to have its own problesm. I'm not saying mine is best but I sure like a trouble free Suzuki. Same with depth finders. Why would you pay so much for a X15 and tollerate the problems they seem to have. Just curious.

Yeah...here's the funny part....I bought a Force motor 4 years ago, (y'know, the Force motors that everyone said were junk.) I have run the snot out of it for 4 years...not a whimper!
It starts every time and runs like a scalded dog. I look at these pages and feel sorry for these guys who bought the more expensive motors and can't use them cause' they are in the shop.

it seems that force, suzuki, spirt, chrysler, with the new names
or the old names, dont get alot of respect. i had a spirit motor
(now suzuki) and it was fine. i know people who have force
motors and they also do the job and seem to be reliable. that
may be a good question for a "shrink"

there is a group of fisherpeople who will line up to by the
new high teck stuff, like the x-15. they help the rest of us
by helping to get the bugs worked out. there have been more
"bugs" in this new system than anyone could have guessed but
i tip my hat to the "early buyers" because when i buy mine
it'll be sweet!

i love fishing because it is a game you can play at any level
you desire (or can afford), you can put alot of effort in or
very little, and still enjoy yourself and the outdoors.
