OMC screwed alot of people. Even being a dealer we were glad to see them go. There are alot of OMC dealers that lost everything when they folded up. Being a OMC dealer since 1971 they went down hill in the mid 90's. The Cobra sterndrive cost them alot of money in the 80's with a ton of problems. The Ficht engine in the 90's cost them a ton of money. I think it was a little of everything that put them under. Bombardier is so much better dealing with then the old company. We to are still Johnson and Evinrude men. We still call it OMC. It is a very hard habit to break. And its a good thing due to the Bombardier name will be changing. THe outboards will still be branded Johnson and Evinrude.
