5 Outboard Brands Charging You More for the Same Tohatsu Engine (One Engine, Four Brands)

A black-cowl 9.9 and a "value brand" 9.9 can share the exact same powerhead — built on the same line in Japan, shipped out under four different names at four different prices.

By the end of this video you'll know the five brands charging the biggest small-engine markup, the two that actually build their own and earn it, and the one label on every motor that's quietly hiding all of it.
