Have a look at the new 2015 E-Tecs. What do you
guys think?

I'm still sitting on the fence but leaning towards ugly.

I freaking love it. I seen a leaked picture of the new design about 6 months ago on Reddit before they had it removed.

I would love nothing more than a 268 sized Vista with one of these 300hp bad boys strapped to the back of it.

Fugly. About as aerodynamic looking as a house.

But the H.O. looks good.

i think that color matched to the hull would make it look much sleeker and i think for example a saltwater center console and all white top tp bottom with matt stickers would look amazing

Design of the cowling was inspired by the movie Iron Man (true).
Quote:
One major inspiration for the G2's modular-styled appearance is attributed to the armour of the fictional hero Iron Man.

BRP offers 5 standard colors and the company has already partnered with seven OEMs to offer boat-matched ‘hero' colours.

I agree color matched to the hull would look good.
I am still getting used to the sideways 'Evinrude'...
I bet they look better tilted up...
might have tried this instead, seeing as how that vent stopped them from putting the name horizontally as is typically done...

I thought of iron man right away...and think they look amazing. I wish I had a boat to mount one on.
