I think at some point they will try to enter the 4-stroke market. In the release they said the decision came from the impact from Covid-19 but it seems that the 4-strokes would probably have more to do with it.

Sounds like a weak, poorly run company, not to be able to operate on a slimmer budget for 6 weeks and survive.

Techs around here absolutely HATE working on Evinrudes. Warranty work is a red-tape nightmare.
If you can't find em wind em.

Scott Martin is one I would watch to see which way he goes next year. That new 42’ Freeman has some pretty hardware attached to the back. I wonder if that will change as well.

Bass boats with Evinrudes have always been valued slightly less than one with a Merc or Yamaha, gonna be a lot worse now. 4 stroke technology was probably the nail in the coffin.

In that same article did you see this? That’s crazy as well. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-82677-53385-5e974cbf_159a_448b_90ac_24e96cdd78f6.png)

Mercury makes a 300 too so he’ll be okay...
