Default I didn't know Evinrude made a Wankel outboard?

Prototyped it into a racing engine, and was blowing Mercury away.


It's a shame they didn't have the time and finances to really develop
it.

They made Evenrude snowmobiles with the Wankle. My dad had the 35 hp model
and they made a 45 hp model. I think they were way underated for
Horsepower.


My Arctic Cat was the 35hp version. Again, lots of torque and low end
performance.

The evenrude machine had the continously variable transmission system, so
lots of omph through all the range.
