I don't believe EZU is for sale, I think you meant EZW. I think she's been for sale for awhile now, Greens didn't use her at all last season. I'd say she didn't touch the water at all last season, but with the crazy high water levels she actually did. :wink:
As for FQI that's a bit of a surprise to me. I worked with her all last season.

Fighter your right, it's EZW. Good to hear they are getting another beaver, and not in trouble.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with parts supply for the engine. I talked to an operator lately who has converted his otter to turbine. Says he can't get cylinders for it anymore. Same engine, same problem on the norseman?

I do not think blowing jugs on the Norseman's 1340 is as common as the Otter's geared 1340.

Once one operator in town gets a turbine, everyone has to to compete!
Time for a turbine Thunder Chicken with a garrett!!! Look out turbo otters!! She'll still be the fastest on the water!

A 1340 with or without gears has the same jugs. Garrets are for people who like noise and spinning props by hand, and oh yah, ame's. :P
