    Default Comstocks

    Left Hand propeller looks like this one. NOTE: Cavitation plate level with the bottom where it is supposed to be.

    My dad always talked about "Comstocks", I never knew what he was talking about.

    Being an Ambassador for Evinrude is a great honor. (The first production outboard ever built 1909)

    A short review of the weekend.
    O
    The BRP management asked for a new aggressive design so you can tell it is an Evinrude outboard from long distance.

    The engineering department went back in the Evinrude history book and looked at the successful racing rotary.
    You can see many similarities here.

    . Hi Lasse. the white no 2 boat fitted with a Rotary engine looks like a Cougar. We need to ask Rotary John where this picture was taken. I only remember One Cougar boat that James Beard ran at the Windemere 3 hr race in the Uk and I am sure it was dark blue?

    If Chrysler Outboards were still in business, their next generation of outboards would look like the new Evinrudes, horsepower to weight ratio out of the ball park, Mercury has already tried the 74 degree V, nothing really new here except too heavy and ugly.

    You really must be kidding. This is still a 2 stroke that meets EPA requirements & not a heavy 4 stroke with many more costly moving parts, not to say that the 4 stroke only gets a power stroke every other revolution whereas a 2 stroke gets it every revolution. You say "heavy" wow, I believe the Merc Verado's are considerably heavier. Also, there is only one bundle coming from the motor to the boat. This includes all electronics, all cables, all fuel lines & even steering. Ugly, not sure what you are looking at, as the new Evinrudes have a styling package similar to the 4 rotor Rotary race motors of the 80's.

    Chrysler did build a V6 but didnt make it to production, was very similar to a v6 merc
