    The 951 DI was the last 2 cycle engine in the PWC's & it was very problematic with the air fuel. The carbed engines were less problematic, ran great & made good power for the displacement as did the DI when it ran. The 951 didn't like water ingestion/intrusion at all which is why I say it would be a bad idea for this design. All 951's to some degree needed a lot of petting. Not even sure this is the same engine. RR

    Will insurance cover it if you hit an obstacle underwater and the whole thing comes off the transom?

    Personally - I would prefer to know exactly the tech on this piece when available - meaning #1 -just how submerged
    2 stroke - 4 stroke -
    Cost and such before the accolades and the bashing .
    It does seem very similar to the Ghost system that had been next up before the exit

    Kelly it’s 2-stroke. The piston ports are evident in the picture. And I’d bet a steak dinner that it IS the ghost that they simply delayed a couple years and renamed.

    Regarding the engine relative to the water level, most pwc’s are like that already. There are strainers in the bilge hooked to a Venturi in the jet pump such that they are always evacuating whatever leaks in as long as the engine is running. I would imagine the engine has something like a crank driven bilge pump. As misguided as the concept is (to me, at least), the engineers at rotax have experience with this stuff and aren’t dummies.

    Low cg, less weight, BRP knows how to make wickedly powerful, clean burning and reliable two strokes. Plenty to be excited about in my eyes. Id buy a new merc 250 if the damn thing wouldnt sink my boat. Am i alone here? I dont mind the looks of it i think it would look awesome hanging off a stream

    of course maybe they come in heavy and unsuitable so we shall see

    The way they sealed the g2 cowls is as pathetic as this entire design.

    Yes, they do have experience with Seadoos (obviously), the only difference there is that the hull is one piece and sealed from water intrusion. These would need a removable cowl of some sort for service, maning plenty of areas for water coming in. As mentioned above, the G2s were prone to water coming in.

    I mean come on guys this is only Evinrude's 1000th chance at making a decent product, this will be the time, THEY PROMISE!

    And as mentioned above, they just destroyed their delaer network, customer relations etc.

    1000% agreed but it is not an Evinrude. The only thing you can see when the boat is sitting at idle is
