I know nothing for certain but ...

I heard it was a marketing campaign they are trying because they want to gain a bigger market share and they want to get rid of being know as the "expensive" motors out there so they are trying to have attractive price points on all of their motors.

even though they always had a good rep for reliability, they have earned a bad rep price wise so most people chose other brands in the past and there weren't as many dealerships around because of slow sales since they used to be like the cadillac of outboards price wise.

I would keep looking for any reports of "issues" with their motors but in my book I would jump all over that deal
