I agree that OE desperately needs someone experienced and good at writing clear press releases. Both the confusing press releases in the last two months were market shaking. If the market had been unstable today (like it was in December), OE could have easily lost another point or two here. There are people (and I don't think it too wise to put yourself in that risky position, but some do) that get forced to sell because of margin requirements. The fortunate may pick up shares on the cheap, but creating this kind of uncertainty is unnecessary and not good for the company or its investors.

OMC news links: dailynews.yahoo.com From a local paper: copleynewspapers.com Bombardier press release: bombardier.com I just can't see Bombardier retrofitting Ficht motors with OCP. By the same token they wouldn't pull OCP off the PWC engines and install Ficht "Ram". Mercury's concern is will Bombardier replace the jet boat motors again, this time installing Ficht motors that they themselves build. They only recently began pulling out twin Rotax engines and installing a single OptiMax powerhead. Kawasaki and Polaris have never revealed their long term plans for their PWC's, with the assumption being they would use Ficht, presumably Ram. But nobody knows. At least nobody who's talking. Very few Ficht motors have been sold by Polaris, as they offer it only as an option, and only on their 4 seater. Kawasaki has it as standard equipment on one of their 3 seaters. Honda launching 4S PWC's in the fall, and it remains to be seen if Yamaha will use their HPDFI technology or their light weight 4S technology in their PWC's. They can't meet 2006 emissions just using cats.
