The trap door to check the oil is a great feature!

Those are almost as ugly as the Suzukis.

Looks like an Evinrude AND only has a 3-star emissions label AND has valves? I appreciate the weight savings and natural aspiration, but pardon me if I don’t run to the nearest dealer to get rid of my more powerful 2-stroke.

What is the supposed advantage of these new engines over their older counterparts?

Looks cool to me. I’d just have a hard time getting anything other than an Evinrude after the experience I had with my last.
