Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), makers of Evinrude E-TEC outboards, has re-joined the Texas Team Trail (TXTT) as part of a multiyear agreement announced today.
The renewal includes the popular contingency program for TXTT anglers running Evinrude E-TEC outboards. A winning Evinrude angler at any one of the four regular season events will receive an engine upgrade from the standard 150 hp option to a 225 hp model. Additional payout extends through 50th place, with second through 30th receiving a $250 cash bonus and 31st through 50th receiving $125.
"We’re fortunate to have such a great partner in Evinrude," said TXTT Tournament Director Mike Hastings. "They build an incredible product, offer a robust contingency program for Texas Team Trail anglers and have been a part of our organization from the beginning. We’re proud to build on our partnership in 2015 and beyond."
BRP is a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and marketing of powersports vehicles and propulsion systems. Its portfolio includes Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft, Can-Am all-terrain and side-by-side vehicles, Can-Am Spyder roadsters, Evinrude and Rotax marine propulsion systems as well as Rotax engines for karts, motorcycles and recreational aircraft.
BRP’s Evinrude engine line-up from 3.5 to 300 horsepower offers customers superior value across a full range of applications. The all-new Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard delivers unrivaled performance with best-in-class torque and fuel efficiency and lowest total emissions.

"We’re proud of our long-standing relationship with the TXTT and all the loyal Evinrude-powered anglers who compete. We look forward to a great 2015 season."
The tournament circuit, designed exclusively for team competition, includes four qualifying events plus a year-end championship on Lake Palestine, June 13-14. Registration for the 2015 season is already underway.
