“We knew that there would be interest in the CXO300 diesel engine, but the interest exceeded our expectations. Many people we talked to commented that they have been waiting for this type of model. It’s great to see so much excitement for the product.”
Mr Williamson added: “We had some great leads from the recreational and commercial markets as well as boat builders. Following the reaction to the CXO300 diesel outboard engine at Auckland, we’re now even more excited to be part of Cox Powertrain’s global distribution network.”
