27 Flybridge conversion from I/O to Outboard

[Fr. Frank]

MEG outboards (maritime engineering group) is nearly bankrupt and looking for investors or for a buyer. A friend of mine at Pro-Line says they've run through the Federal wringer, when they should have received their manufacturing and EPA permits 3 years ago. He said they have spent something like 14 million in development, and 12 million in Federal inspection and testing costs and fees. Under the previous administration they were told they were just "a few weeks" from receiving their final approval to begin planning production, but under the current one everything was stopped in its tracks.

That information is 3rd hand, but is also disturbing.
