about 4 years from now, BRP will introduce a new line of 4 stroke outboards under the Sea Do name, mark my words. The writing was on the wall for e-tec a long time ago. BRP at one time offered Ficht/Ram Ficht/E-tec engines in about every product line they sold, the phased the engines out of every other department a while back, outboards was the last hold out. From what I've heard from other techs, the dealers were getting a pretty raw deal, no support, parts delays, and denied/reduced warranty claims. All the while, BRP was advertising extended warranties and service intervals, basically pulling the rug out from dealers. I still have yet to see more than a handfull around here
