Personally I think the Ghost will be just that, an apparition.

The fresh water market is tiny compared to the coast or saltwater market. After the way BRP dumped on what was a growing E-tech customer base, very few people would drink the Kool-Aide on some "new and improved" yet unproven idea.

I hope everyone in Sturtevant can quickly seek gainful and prosperous employment, given the situation at hand.

I personally will stay away from all things BRP in the future.[/QUOTE]

I am as deep in ownership as anyone into Evirude motors as 3 of the 7 outboards I own are G2's. They perform well with their low end torque and good economy/emissions, but I won't say they are bulletproof.
The biggest issue I saw, that will now be a bigger issue, is the lack of fully and completely trained mechanics including ones with experience.
The boats with Evinrudes on the back have been de-valued no matter what anyone thinks. There can be some "fans" out there but unless it's the deal of a century no one is going to touch em. I can't blame anyone from feeling this way.
