    BRP 4 stroke Rotax Outboards

    Has anybody heard about BRP using there other brand name, Johnson for bringing out Rotax 4 strokes outboards. I read about it on another forum ages ago, but was just wondering if anyone else has heard anything recently? I know the below are for PWC, but would it take much work to put them into an outboard?

    Sophisticated 4-TEC technology sets the standard for 4-stroke engines
    The ingenious 4-TEC engine concept offers the consumer unique features:
    • <LI class=Content>maximum performance lightweight engines <LI class=Content>reduced emissions and high fuel efficiency <LI class=Content>low sound emission and vibrations levels <LI class=Content>high reliability and dependability <LI class=Content>massive torque
    • low-maintenance, easy-to-use
    The first engine in this family, the 3-cylinder 1500 cc watercraft engine, redefined the whole PWC industry. Now available in a range up to 215 horsepower, it proved that low emissions and low sound levels were indeed compatible with the best available power.
    Advanced 2-TEC technology brings 2-stroke engines to the next level
    Certain applications require a specific power-to-weight ratio along with reduced emission and sound levels. For these particular applications BRP-Rotax has introduced an advanced two-stroke engine technology, which is superior to conventional two-stroke engines by significantly reduced sound and fuel emissions combined with an optimized power-to-weight ratio and light weight.

    I have not read anything about them using the Rotax motors in Outboards but they have released a 3 wheeler motorbike with the Rotax motor;

    Yes they do. The Rotax's are also popular in the Go Kart world.

    However, all the racing outboard sets ups I have seen have been based on the E-Tec.

    Here is one (a V4) at 8,100 rpms!
