    115HP Etec G2 update

    I'm finally coming back to getting a boat and was waiting till this motor release. I think this motor has been out for 6 months now. I read it's a 3 cylinder motor. Are there anyone out there that ha rigged this motor on their boat? Can you share your impressions and experiences? Does this motor contain the oil inside the engine like the larger EtecG2 motors? How is the hole shot with a 3 cylinder motor?

    Is it true that BRP now owns Alumicraft boats? If so I will consider that boat or Vexxus for this motor.

    Yes, BRP owns Alumacraft who also won the NMMA customer satisfaction award at the Miami International Boat Show yesterday.

    You will enjoy this first hand account of the new 115 HO:

    My area used to have a strong following in the JohnRude camp (especially during the FastStrike/Intruder years) ..... until Ficht happened. Here's an engine review from a local guy of his 115 G2 at 65hrs that he was skeptical about at first.


    Hope it helps.

    Very informative boat test video seahorse, thanks for sharingI’m very happy with my G1 but my next boat will definitely be the G2. BRP does own Alumacraft as stated. Looking for a deep hull I wouldn’t hesitate to own one, bass boat I personally prefer the Vexus (build quality, layout, and ride is outstanding).
