New Evinrude G2 115, 140 & 150 models

[Bushwacker]

The new motor is a 3 cylinder, 1.9L; probably 1/2 of the 300 hp G2 V-6 and incorporating the RAVE variable area exhaust system used on the BRP snowmobiles. Always figured it was only a matter of the time before they did that, as it makes a lot of sense from a parts commonality standpoint. Maybe they’ll bring out I-2 and V or I-4 versions in another year or two. Even the G1 models used the same bore and stroke for all the smaller I-2, !-3, V-4 and V-6 versions.

Pretty impressive performance on a 20’ x 8’ 3000 lb Key West runabout . . . WOT of 49.9 mph & 3.9 mpg! Best cruise of 27 mph & 5.0 mpg! Performance would be even better on the lighter and more efficient 20’ SeaCraft hull! Check out this test of the new 150! https://www.boattest.com/view-news/6...utboard-engine

The weight number is pretty impressive too, when you figure it INCLUDES the power steering system, fly-by-wire shift & throttle, AND a couple gallons of oil in the on-engine tank!
