Evinrude Celebrates 100th

Much of my childhood was spent in the boat water skiing and fishing, and the boat was powered by Evinrude. Evinrude, now owned by BRP but formerly by Outboard Marine Corporation (which also makes Johnson) and Mercury of Mercury Marine, a Brunswick Corporation (BC:NYSE), used to rule the day powering boats.

Yamaha then came in and developed some high level competition. Today, all three companies excel, putting forth engines with supreme power, speed and efficiency.

I would like to congratulate Evinrude on the 100th anniversary. The engines served my family very well as we tore up the slalom course on a daily basis. The engines were steadily powerful and reliable.

I know Ralph Evinrude and Francis Langford are beaming with pride!
