BRP Australia AND Evinrude E-TEC ™ continues to set Bench Marks!

Monday 26 th November 2007.

This weekend Evinrude E-TEC ™ captured the Holy Grail of water ski racing at the annual Bridge to Bridge Ski Race on the Hawkesbury River in Sydney NSW! This world famous water ski race attracts hundreds of ski racers from novices to World Champions hurtling down the Hawkesbury from Dangar Island to Windsor at speeds of up to 130mph.

With a field of 12 boats in the S.M.O.C class limited to production 250HP rated motors, Evinrude E-TEC ™ secured 1st , 2nd and 3rd place and all three boats broke the Race record.

BRP would like to congratulate all crews and skiers of the three boats; Testlab 1st , Stalker 2nd and On the Move 3rd all powered by the Evinrude E-TEC ™ 250 H.O.

“What is even more amazing” said Paul Armstrong from On the Move, “two of these Evinrude E-TEC's came straight out of their box on Thursday and raced on the Saturday!”.

Not only does this reinforce Evinrude E-TEC's DQR but also highlights how confident the company is with their product. BRP has chosen to offer a full 3 year warranty on all Evinrude E-TEC motors, even in the racing environment!

Paul continued “you can read all the press about these engines but to actually see them being un-packed and fitted Thursday then raced on the Saturday is a fantastic result."

Like all Evinrude E-TEC™ outboards, the 250 H.O. is compact and lightweight – an amazing 128 pounds (58 kg) lighter than some competitive engines of the same horsepower. With less weight comes improved fuel efficiency, less draft and improved boat handling, superior visibility while planing the boat quicker, and less stress on the boat transom. The 250 H.O. tops-off the Evinrude E-TEC™ line-up in horsepower and advanced innovative features including the high-speed, nose cone Lightning™ gear case, manufactured from the toughest grade metals and alloys for increased strength and performance.
