For what they charge for a new engine, no matter the manufacturer, it would be nice to not have it rot out before it's usable lifespan and maybe they could employ a nation known for more high quality production than china.

I dont think they'll be able to do that without a blower. Right now, all teh 4 cylinder 200's regardless of brand are getting a reputation of being weak, personally I think its undeserved, but comparing them to V6 engines that were underrated at 200 isn't fair

Personally I'd love to see an outboard made in Germany. Way back in the 70's-80's I had a boat with a 350 GM engine on it married to a BMW outdrive. It just seems to me that a country so well known for precision engineering should be able to produce an outboard of the same high quality. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part?

Yup. I was thinking of Sweden (Saab)(Volvo) when I wrote that, but even they pale before the precision or German engineering. (IMHO)
