(Sturtevant, Wis., January 19, 2006) - Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP) has put over $2 million up for grabs in a landmark Evinrude® saltwater contingency payout for 2006. Professional and regional kingfish and redfish anglers have a combined product and cash payout potential that rivals contingencies offered by any outboard manufacturer.
First place finishers powered by a qualifying Evinrude outboard could win the following generous payouts;
- $37,500 in the FLW Kingfish and SKA Pro Kingfish championships
- $30,000 in the FLW Pro and SKA Pro Kingfish tournaments
- $25,000 in the FLW Redfish and ESPN Redfish Cup championships
- $12,500 in the FLW Pro Redfish and ESPN Pro Redfish Cup tournaments
- 250-hp Evinrude E-TEC engine in the FLW Kingfish regional tournaments and 12 select SKA Regional Kingfish events*
"With our new contingency program, we have increased the opportunity for qualifying anglers to bring home big bonus money. We want them to succeed and we want them to succeed with Evinrude. These are the best outboard engines available and the sport of competitive fishing needs to experience the exceptional fuel economy, low maintenance and great performance our engines offer", said Roch Lambert, vice president, general manager, Outboard Marine Engines.
The lucrative award system was developed by BRP to support anglers running Evinrude engines on their boats and to help grow the sport of saltwater fishing. Anglers powered by Evinrude E-TEC® or Evinrude DI outboard engines, model year 2004 or newer, and place in the top-ten positions of all FLW Pro Kingfish and regional, all Pro Southern Kingfish and regional*, FLW Redfish, and ESPN Redfish Cup tour events could net themselves big bonus money under the following contingency programs.
