Omc more than held their own with the sub 150hp market. I had and loved the 70's and 115's and 140's. Once they tried to go big they had to deal with merc. Merc had the 60 deg vee and was lighter, faster and was very cost comparative. The v-8 was a monster and impressive. The ficht motors just killed them finally.

We gotta clean this liberal mess up, VOTE TRUMP TO MAGA!

Who here has read "Iron Fist"? It's an interesting read. Karl Kiekhafer spent his entire career chasing OMC. Merc didn't really take over the outboard market until right around the time he sold out, maybe afterwards.
