Raymarine 2008 Fully Loaded Sales Event

As the boating season gears up, this is a great time for buying new marine electronics for your boat. From radios to GPS systems, the latest in high-tech gear makes even an old boat seem new.

Raymarine recently announced its 2008 Fully Loaded Sales Event, taking place from April 10 through May 31.

According to Raymarine...

With the summer boating season in sight, the Fully Loaded Sweepstakes offers boaters the chance to win a $25,000 helm solution featuring the newest marine electronics from Raymarine. The Sales Event is the perfect opportunity for every captain to upgrade his or her boat, as Raymarine will offer rebates of up to $1,200 to anyone who purchases a brand new Raymarine helm solution.

Customers can get even more money back during the first-ever Raymarine Fully Loaded Trade-In Days (April 10-13) during which every customer who turns in an old display will receive an additional $200 rebate along with their purchase of a Fully Loaded System.

“We’re extremely excited to announce this year’s expanded Fully Loaded Sales Event, featuring the unprecedented $25,000 Sweepstakes and brand new Trade-In Days,” said Todd Hoskins, senior vice president of marketing of Raymarine, Inc. “Not only is Raymarine dedicated to bringing new technology and ‘best in class’ products to recreational boaters, we’re also committed to making it easy to upgrade any boat by adding these leading electronics and accessories.”

StowAway Boat Fenders protect boats and store easily

Nearly every boater needs boat fenders at least occasionally. But conventional fenders can be hard to handle and take up a lot of storage space on board when not in use.

Durable, lightweight StowAway Boat Fenders offer high impact protection just like conventional fenders, but they are inflatable and deflatable - just roll them up for storage.

StowAway Boat Fenders are available in a handy kit, which includes four fenders and a free air pump that all fit into an attractive storage case. StowAway Fenders come in blue, black, navy or red and there are four sizes for all types of boats from under 18 to over 50 feet.
