I never said, "All Pro's", but some pro's do run boats or motor based on the deals they can get with one company over another company.

You are very correct guest.  However, I would have to say it has more to do with what circuit the pro is fishing.  For example, the FLW tour is sponsored by Evinrude and Yamaha.  The PWT is sponsored by Mercury.  The guys that fish one or the other have contingencies on the line.  Majority, and I mean probably 50-75% of pros receive nothing from these outboard companies.  The ones that do are your guys like Keith Kavajecz, Gary Parsons, Gary Roach, and your really big names in the fishing world.  Guys run a particular motor on a particular trail because of the contingencies that they can receive for placing in a tournament.  For example, on the FLW side, running a Ranger or a G3 with either a Yammy or Evinrude on the back, you qualify for as much as $50,000 more running the proper equipment.  That is why guys run certain product, not because there getting checks handed to them by these companies.  Very few are in the fishing world.[/QUOTE]
