Looks like they're going into a "mutant" sterndrive business. This too, will Fail.

"Realize Synergies!", Yeah, these BRP guys are smoking crack, tin boats and pontoons? Really?

L drive or whatever Chrysler called it?

Ummmmmmmm, yeah..........let's see you trim up a ghost drive all the way out of the water when it's docked in salt water.....yeah......asinine........

[powerabout]

L drive with trim tilt would be nice

The prototype ghost drives are Etec g2 Powerheads. No one mentioned stopping the sleds which have etec as well.

I wonder how a big center console would look with with a few ghost drives so flush rear hatch to swim platform?
I reckon it would make people wonder why they ever had clamp ons?
Same for a pontoon boat
History seems to show the market wants to hide the engine yet be simpler than a sterndrive.

So not the end of Marine 2 stroke....!?

The only thing that makes sense to me is they are putting all their eggs in the "ghost drive" basket and think it's going to be a "home run"?
