But time may be running out for tournament directors to get in on the BoatU.S. Angler tournament sponsorship program. "We are interested in supporting freshwater tournaments, no matter if it's bass, trout, walleye, crappie or catfish," said BoatU.S. Angler Director Mike Pellerin. "However, we only have a limited number remaining and are offering them first-come, first-served." "As a sponsor, we're offering annual BoatU.S. Angler memberships that come with 'unlimited' on-the-water towing (freshwater) as well as a roadside assistance plan that unlike other auto clubs, covers both the boat trailer and tow vehicle," added Pellerin. Also included in BoatU.S. Angler membership is a subscription to the new BoatU.S. ANGLER Magazine as well as discounts on fuel, repairs and ramp rebates at BoatU.S. Cooperating Marinas, shopping discounts at West Marine stores and more. Each membership package is worth $63, a nice addition to a tournament's list of prizes. "While we'd prefer to have our BoatU.S. Angler membership prizes go to the angler who catches the biggest fish, we know that tournament needs differ and we'll do whatever makes the most sense," said Pellerin. In addition, participating tournaments will be listed on the Tournament and Event Locator at http://www.BoatUSAngler.com/calendar Tournament directors may apply for BoatU.S. Angler sponsorship consideration by emailing Penny Leitch at PLeitch@BoatUS.com "Once a tournament has been approved, we'll send a complete package with everything inside, including promotional items and the complimentary BoatU.S. Angler membership certificate that's very simple for the winner to redeem," said Pellerin. "Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for tournament directors." BoatU.S. Angler is part of Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatU.S.), the nation's largest organization of recreational boat owners with over 650,000 members.
