Selva Outboards

Anyone know who makes these? Are they a familiar name with another brand on the cowling?

First time I heard of them...Took a minute to research on google groups and looks like they have been in business for over 40 years...Obviously the Europeans are more familiar with them since it is an Italian Company. I think it runs on tomato sauce:^...I am going to follow this...interesting.

I am waiting for a fellow Italian Iboater to say our Johnson's run on Big Macs

They aren't EPA approved so they cannot be imported into the U.S.

Re: Selva Outboards

Well; I'm not interested in buying one...but I would still like to know more about their heritage.
Isn't it odd that they apparently have existed in Europe all these years and yet their name is all but unknown in the US?

Even here; on this board...no one so far has admitted to ever having seen one or know anything about them.

I'll keep poking around the net...maybe someone else here can shed some more light on the subject.
