It's interesting how VP announces 11/2/20 their manufacturing plans then announces on 11/6/2020 that they will stop production as of 1/1/2021. It seemed like a big deal when they acquired 7 marine, and there is a tremendous new market for high horsepower outboards as seen in the channel with the triple 400 boats. So many innovations on this engine it will be fun to watch the new products hit the market in the next few years. The joy stick steering and docking is very cool all by itself. Big change from cable steering and no power tilt.
