I have made the decision to share the cost of my boating lifestyle and begin accepting sponsorships in regards to my boat. I do not plan on racing it simply just drive and hang out. For example, if an engine builder such as DNE or similar were to drop ship an engine to me, well then I would be willing to provide space on my trailer for a sticker. This is not just limited to engine builders, I would accept other ‘marketing material’ from other vendors as well. Items such as a diverter nozzle from Place, a rear bench seat from Martinez, or selected items from Rex Marine would each earn a reserved space for a sticker advertising their name. Vendors do not let this opportunity pass you by. This is not a big trailer so space is limited.

Most sponsorships would like more in return. For instance on our capsule hydro we get weekend sponsorships (car dealerships) which pay for our entry fees and loan us a vehicle for the weekend. In return they get 2 weekend tickets and the boat on display on a Friday, plus national TV coverage of their dealership with us annoucing them as a sponsor.
One of our full season sponsors is Mothers Polish. They require a decal of theirs to be displayed in exchange for a few cases of their products. We usually buy a professional photo that shows the boat with the decal that can be read easily and send it to them. We then receive more products. But they still receive national or regional coverage from annoucing them as a sponsor.
Not sure if the "lake boat scene" will have the same attraction but I have given you a few examples. Good luck in your search!

You want more in return? Very well, If you act now I will send you an autographed picture along with placing your image as my avatar thereby giving you immediate national coverage.

lol, feel like your falling yet?
I think they would be interested in an event of some kind that attracts boats from all over the state, Like a party on the lake of some sorts.

This is perfect timing!
I was just about to get started on my new automated drivethrough boatwash at Parker. I will be located on the water and you can just pull your boat through for a quick shine on your way to Fox's. There will be finishing options like Hot wax, Simonize, Crisco, Baby Oil (for the girls), Boones Farm and Coppertone.
I was looking for an advertising medium and I was just filling out the form for the back cover of Hot Boat but I think you might fit my demographic even better. If you still have a 2"x6" spot for my sticker available, I'd like to offer you unlimited boat washes for life.
The all Playmate handwash system is in the design stages and patent pending, hopefully everything will be ready to go by next summer.
Looking forward to doing business!

I am starting a professional hand suntan cream application business... If you place my sticker, I will oil up all the females that are within 100 ft of your boat for free.... The sticker is only the size of a postage stamp... is there room left? :idea:

Man this is great timing! Just last night I was going through my (40) 55 gallon drums of $100 bills wondering just what the hell am I gonna do with all these.

For you Mike I will reserve enough space for two stickers. Just something to keep in mind. Also I have some garage space avail if you run out of room for your inventory.:)

Do the same thing I do. Save them for winter and you can light them on fire to roast marshmallows...

What if his chick flashed them some tit while holding their product in hand? lol
Now if you could get her to hold one of my hoses :) like that I just might think about it. Oh, it would have to be size -16 being held by a hottie that's size -D. :D

I've been looking for a -16 to -D adapter, do you have those in stock?
How about -16 injector reducer? That way you can fit into the smaller ports....
G!

Speaking of REX stickers....
Mike,
Can I trade in all my REX Marine stickers for merchandise?;)
And, how come I only got one REX sticker with each of my last two orders? :frown:
I only read the REXONE bashing thread, I did not engage in the melee.:D :D

I think that it's a reflex action that everytime "Rex" is mentioned to respond with "Catalog".
Here feel free to use mine Catalog (www.rexmar.com)
If it isn't there then call me at 909-392-7300 and just ask for Bob or Mike.

LMAO...
I'll send him a 20% share of Rex Marine Stickers. I wanted to save them up some more so I could get a Rex Marine T-shirt but I don't know if they are as liquid as I think.:D:D

You guys need to hold on to those stickers. Around 2040 those are going to be worth some serious coin. :)
