"We just want an engine that works!" being the primary reason according to an unidentified Coast Guard Lieutenant-JG.

What does the NH Marine Patrol use? It uses a lot of two-stroke Mercury optimax outboards in 150-200-250 horse power, in singles and double installations, and some single Evinrude four-stroke 90-hp's that were probably made by Suzuki.
Thanks for the useful information.
