Just read that Evinrude production has been halted and they will no longer be made. They have been around forever. The parent company (Bomadier)? Said they have contracted with Mercury to provide motors for their lines of boats. Said the virus had hurt them badly. BUT their price was a lot higher than other brands. A couple of years ago we needed to get a different motor so I priced a 40hsp jet from the different brands at dealerships. The Evinrude was $2000 higher than the Mercury. We went with the Mercury 4 stroke and love it. I wonder what will happen now with warranties on the motors people have.
