FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EVINRUDE, EVERSTART PARTNER TO OFFER 2003 CO-ANGLER AWARD
MINNEAPOLIS (March 27, 2003) — Evinrude and EverStart Batteries announced Thursday their partnership to offer EverStart Series co-anglers their largest-ever contingency award. The award, known as the “Ultimate Fishing Package,” includes a 2003 Evinrude 225-horsepower, high-output direct-injection outboard engine rigged on a Ranger 520DVX bass boat with a Minn Kota trolling motor, all powered by EverStart Marine Batteries.
The winner will be determined by EverStart Series tournament standings, meaning the co-angler who earns the most points by season’s end will take home the package. Points may not be added from one division to another. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided based on the largest one-day stringer. Only participants in the EverStart Series may qualify for the co-angler award and prizes. For complete rules and regulations, please visit FLWOutdoors.com.
“Our goal in initiating this award is to recognize the hardworking co-anglers who can often times go unnoticed while trying to find footing in the professional circuits,” explained Krista Heidgerken, senior communications specialist for Evinrude. “We hope to familiarize co-anglers with Evinrude and EverStart’s quality products while they launch a career among the best anglers in the world and an atmosphere of high-level competition.”
Evinrude’s 225-horsepower, high-output direct-injection outboard is a 3.3-liter V-6 with incredible fuel economy and lighting-fast acceleration. Plus, the outboard’s exclusive Lightning gearcase provides even more torque for spectacular hole shots. When it comes to reliability, the Evinrude 225-horsepower, high-output direct-injection outboard delivers big time.
EverStart Marine Batteries are performance-tested to deliver the cranking power and reliability competitive anglers need when they are going after the big one or just getting out on the water for a spin.
EverStart Batteries are available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide. EverStart Marine Batteries are also original equipment for Ranger, Crestliner, Wellcraft and Lund boats.
