“As for USA Yamaha Marine, their engine availability will also instantly change when the freighter arrives in port with hundreds or thousands of engines. They will almost instantly go from famine to too many engines in this vicious cycle. Just as happened over three years ago with Yamaha.”
Which raises an interesting question for me: How many Evinrude engines was Bass Cat holding when BRP stopped production (and the engines became very undesirable)?
That had to be painful for the company.
