Thats the engine OMC should have made as yam just marched in with bigger triples and took tons of market
I quote you, Powerabout, and I'm not sure you said it. But if OMC would have continued to make two stokes and sold them worldwide, (Meaning outside the USA) they'd never have gone broke. I think you said that to me on the phone one day.
Seems, as I recall, my brother, asked Charlie Strang, why the 49 cubic incher was the way it was? And the answer wasn't what my expected. The answer was the NEW $100,000 mill wasn't large enough......It something that!!! My brother said, "Really?"
Too bad, you didn't "Take Over" OMC, Powerabout. You could have made OMC Great........I'm not sure I'll use the word "AGAIN".
I'd argue with you abut Yamaha. They took the WHOLE MARKET.
