      Kinda sucks. They were around forever and I thought they had some really cool technology. Another US outboard manufacturer gone.

        Seems BRP doesn't believe Evinrude can make the unavoidable change to electric.
        I wonder what Zuke's strategy is here. They (and Honda) appear in a better position than Yamaha, as they also have the cars/trucks activities in their house.

          With the announcement regarding Evinrude, BRP explained that in the past year they bought 2 or 3 boat companies, and they're going to focus on selling boat packages rather than just engines. I expect the margins are better on complete boats. And they're working on "Project Ghost" - a new outboard engine concept that keeps the engine outside the transom, but below the deck of the boat:

            ***. Glad I didn't get one. It was between etec and Suzuki. Just mounted the Suzuki a couple days ago.
