Evinrude/Ranger to offer test rides

STURTEVANT, Wis. – Upcoming test rides across the United States will allow consumers to experience a new boat and engine package from Ranger/Evinrude, according to a release from the companies. Ranger Boats and BRP’s Evinrude outboard brand initially launched the test drive program in 2004 and have expanded it each year.

Consumers who participate in a test ride will have an opportunity to run the latest Ranger models including the 621, 620, Z521 and Z520 powered with Evinrude E-TEC engines ranging in horsepower from 250-hp H.O. to 300-hp. The new Evinrude ICON gauge system will also be available for demonstration. Consumers who purchase within 60 days of the test ride will receive a free Ranger boat cover and a stainless steel prop; a combined retail value of $1,600.00.
