Be interesting to see how this all shakes out. Back in 2020 when BRP quit production of Evinrude, they said back then that the Evinrude name and ETEC technology would not be sold to any other investor. But I'm like you, I sure wish somebody would be able to get Evinrude back into production.

Just to be clear BRP is not selling the Rotax outboard. They would be crazy to sell the E-Tec technology. The G2 power head is extremely powerful, fuel efficient. And reliable. It’s by far the best 2 stroke outboard ever designed. Hopefully it continues forward with BRP in some shape or form.
