You have to wonder if there are really that many more Olds engines in use or if MAYBE the Olds people just buy that much more than the Pontiac people.
Companies have to see a ROI and if after investing $250K to bring a product to market, it's simple math. $250K divided by X amount of sales = a profit in how many years? If it's a low volume deal, the price has to be higher to recover the investment.
Are there that many boats (not BIG cars, actual boats on the water) running Olds engines that it could justify the low price?
