The Strangler came out when Charlie Strang came on board at OMC. Kind of a limited production thing.

Is that a good thing or bad.

Re: 135 rude strangler

Depends on your point of view. Strang did a lot of good things and was a very smart person. But, it could be said that his era was the start of OMC's downfall. The motor itself wasn't any different except for the hood. The flag pole should go between the g and the l leaving "strang" seperated.
