“We did not get here alone. To all of our friends and partners, thank you!”
Our research vessel Skalugsuak was retrofitted with twin award-winning E-TEC G2 300 HP engines and ICON digital controls. Evinrude (BRP) outboard engines are consistently rated among the best outboard engines in the world and the new G2 is in a class of its own. They are also the cleanest and and the most environmentally efficient engines available on the market today.
