"Our dealers are our best ambassadors and they are instrumental to moving our company forward," said Alain Villemure, vice-president and general manager of BRP's Marine Propulsion Systems division. "BRP redefined the boating industry in June with the launch of our new Evinrude E-TEC G2 products; adding new dealers to our proven sales network expands the opportunity to share our newest technology with consumers as we redefine the future of outboards."

BRP's Evinrude E-TEC G2 engine offers an audacious new look in engines along with best-in-class fuel economy. The new 200-300 hp offering also exceeds all emissions standards and offers power and torque when boaters need it most. Complete with a new warranty that gives owners five hundred hours on the water without required dealer servicing, the G2 outboard engine goes into full production in November 2014.
