Man this is a bum deal. My G2 is a beast, I am very happy with it. A lot of new Vexus boats out there with G2's. Talking with my dealer, Rude will honor warranty and service. But still, resale is going to take a massive hit if there is a G2 hanging on the back. Few years down the road parts are going to get harder and harder to find. Especially for those of us with the 10 year warranty. Glad I am closing on the sell of my 1980 this week. It was already in play as I was stepping up to a 2080, now need to change the order to from G2 to a Pro XS.
“Our outboard engines business has been greatly impacted by COVID-19, obliging us to discontinue production of our outboard motors immediately. This business segment had already been facing some challenges and the impact from the current context has forced our hand,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “We will concentrate our efforts on new and innovative technologies and on the development of our boat companies, where we continue to see a lot of potential to transform the on-water experience for consumers,” he added.
Discontinuing outboard engine business and signing an agreement with Mercury Marine
Following our decision to discontinue E-TEC and E-TEC G2 outboard engines, we have signed an agreement with market leader Mercury Marine to support boat packages and continue to supply outboard engines to our boat brands.
