Go to etsy.com - search Evinrude Signs - this sign is for sale.
Note: it's not a sign that Evinrude made, but a photoshop creation by the seller.

Ralph Evinrude Test Center Gets A New Life

What was previously the Ralph Evinrude Test Center in Stuart, Florida will be the $80 million Atlantic Point Yacht Club & Marina. When complete in August of 2023, Atlantic Point will offer boaters multiple services on this 7.9-acre property. The marina will include 105 boat slips capable of handling vessels up to 160 ft and three buildings including: a 109,000 square-foot dry rack storage facility with a capacity of 456 boats up to 50 feet; a 6,510 sq. ft. single-story restaurant and bar; a two-story shipstore building containing the dockmaster’s office, a fitness center and a VIP lounge, all with expansive views of the Intrercoastal Waterway and downtown Stuart. (The property was purchased from BRP in 2020.)
Note that the artist’s rendering of the shipstore shows that the Ralph Evinrude memorial monument will be retained. The restaurant will ‘*reportedly’ *have a Test Center theme with photos, memorabilia, videos of the test boat drivers.
The OMC Test Center opened in 1966 as the saltwater testing location for Evinrude, Johnson and OMC Stern Drive products. Following Ralph Evinrude’s death the test center was renamed in his honor.

My racing memories from Bristol-Embassy GP

First time was 1977. My brand new black #40 UIM OE/F3 class Molinari/VP-Konig was extremely fast but lots of technical issues in my first race with Konig power.
Dieter Konig was a fun great man to work with.
First is Entry list Bristol 1977.

Shout Out to the Southern Outlaw Drag-boat Association. They put on an amazing event this past weekend at "The Shootout On Lake Dora" in Tavares, Florida. We met new friends and got to catch with old friends.
Hopefully we will see everyone again in July.
