I see Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki but nothing from the other one of the "big 4" Japanese builders.<br />DO they build them and just not sell them in the US?

Thats a very interesting question. At one time they actually were moving some things around (people & space -wise) when OMC was being sold. Some folks thought they were going to make a run at it. Obviously it didnt happen.

I know they were among the first to make "Jet skis" but I thought that was as far as they ventured into the boaters market.

Back in the 1970's Kawaski built some bikes with 2 stroke 3 cylinder engines that were about the fastest street legal vehicle in the quarter mile at the time.
