Evinrude opens up a big can of ugly!

[JW]

I know looks are a matter of taste, and some things can grow on you, but my initial reaction is HOLY SMOKES THATS UGLY!

I love my OMC's even though I own a Merc and sometimes I think they're intentionally trying to hurt their sales.

Does anyone else think it looks kind of like a sea horse?

I can't open the link for some reason but if that links to a new G2 then I have to say I am in the probable minority. I think it looks awesome!

I can see that but... I was thinking a cigarette lighter.

 

[skynet]

It's like a train wreck I just can't stop lookin at

 

[ianz]

I do like the Rude's as Motors but that new cowl looks like a pop can with a lower unit

 

[saxmanbrad]

I like it!

 

[Sam I am]

I think they look like Verados with angles...the colors will grow on me.

 

[Problem Child]

It looks like a big ole plastic eggbeater/ mixer. To me.

 

[Chris]

I'm with Sam, they look like the Verado's with custom paint jobs.

I think it looks like the tried to copy the Verado (already not what i would call a pretty motor but not not super ugly) and messed it all up!

Good thing they are meant for toons and fishing boats.

I'm not sure I could run one if it was free! Going to wait to see one in person, maybe I'll like them better. Wonder what the reliability will be with all the major changes.

 

[RNGRDVE]

All outboards look ugly to me.

I know they guys at bay outboard marine have been around them at some kinda press release. Amazing is what they say. The torque is incredible and the built in steering and rigging method is nice also.

 

[karzrus]

Hmm, I think they were going for the "seven marine" engine look.

But they still dont sound as good or have switchable exhaust!

But the integrated steering/rigging is something all the big ones should have
