Sea Ray Photo Contest


1st Prize is a Trip to Margaritaville


Sea Ray Photo Contest
The photo above was the winner of round #1 – “At the Dock” – of Sea Ray’s summer-long photo contest. This owner (Chris by name), is starting his son off right, and the lad seems to be enjoying boating already.

The folks at Sea Ray have asked us to invite all of our members who own Sea Rays to help everyone celebrate the joys of boating this summer by sharing your best photography. Every two weeks the builder will ask Sea Ray owners to submit a fresh photo matching that round’s theme. Round #2 is underway right now – the theme is “Your Boat’s Name” – and the bell on it rings June 24th. There are prizes for every round (7 in total). The Grand Prize: a 6-day, 7-night vacation to St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, the Bahamas, or Los Cabos, Mexico. We’ll keep you posted.
