This picture is from the Evinrude Outboard factory Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
I am one of very few that has raced the Evinrude F1-V8 engine.
(1983, 1984 and 1985)
This bronze statue is the 1985 model with 6 inch midsection and fuel injection.
Still the only UIM F1 2 stroke V8 racing outboard ever built.

I am back home after a fun weekend in Milwaukee with BRP and Evinrude.
Being an Ambassador for Evinrude is a great honor. (The first production outboard ever built 1909)
A short review of the weekend.
The BRP management asked for a new aggressive design so you can tell it is an Evinrude outboard from long distance.
The engineering department went back in the Evinrude history book and looked at the successful racing rotary.
You can see many similarities here..
Well..I remember the rotary racing engine from Paris 6 hours.
The racing boat #03 above is from Paris 1974.
I was part of that race.
Here is a link to the race in Galveston, TX

The G2 is extremely powerful. A completely new cylinder block with a way better exhaust.
I did see the new block but was not allowed to take pictures.
EPA approved to 2020 standard and the cleanest outboard on the market.
A very easy and quick installation is now possible. The power steering is built in the midsection.
New gear case and much more.
A mix of G2 pictures and a video.

I am so grateful that BRP has picked me to be one of five Evinrude Ambassadors.
We all know that Ole Evinrude started the first outboard production 1909..but this is not about history..it is about the future and the new line of Evinrude Outboards being
introduced in Milwaukee, Wisconsin June 13 2014.
The world is going to be there to see and test drive the new powerful outboards.
My lovely wife Carina and I are really looking forward to get started with a new chapter in our life..

BRP Evinrude announces five T.E.C. Ambassadors to represent the Evinrude brand for a one year contract.
After reading through the more than 70 applications for this T.E.C. Ambassadorship Contest, the Evinrude Brand Marketing was tasked with choosing the top three ambassadors to be the next T.E.C. Ambassadors. Submissions for this contest were well thought out, heartfelt, and showed the true spirit of what a dedicated Evinrude owner is. Because there were so many well deserving Evinrude enthusiasts that applied for this contest, the Evinrude Brand Marketing team decided to pick five loyal Evinrude owners instead of only three.
The contestants were tasked with providing reasons why they would be the next best brand ambassador for the Evinrude Brand. By proving their dedication, loyalty and enthusiasm towards their favorite outboard engine brand, these contestants will help to promote the Evinrude brand through word of mouth and social media. They will all be attending the exciting Club Evinrude event June 13th – June 15th 2014 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where they will be treated like VIPs. Throughout their year as a T.E.C. Ambassador, these Evinrude owners will get to meet several Evinrude executives, travel to plenty of Evinrude sponsored events throughout the country, and have a prominent voice on Evinrude’s social media platforms.
We’d like to thank everyone who applied to the contest and gave such compelling stories through their applications and showed to our team how much being an Evinrude owner means to them. It’s with great pleasure that we announce these five gentlemen as our new 2014 T.E.C. Ambassadors:
Yes..a used 2008 Seaswirl Striper 2601 Center Console with 2 X 150 Evinrude is making me smile again.
It is a some time ago I owned a boat with Evinrude outboards.
The motors are not brand new but only 180 hours.
Well..the plan is to put the engines to the test and many of my friends know that Evinrude has never let me down.
More about the fishing boat later.
Very good reading with pictures. Powerboat Magazine July 1973.
