OHIO BASS FEDERATION NATION
2009 Tournament Trail
Dealership Sponsor

For 2009, Boat Boys is proud to announce our return as a presenting level sponsor for the O.B.F.N in conjunction with the national signing of Skeeter/Yamaha as the official boat/motor package of the Nation and BASS. As we all know, we at Boat Boys are no strangers to supporting the federation and it’s events. Although for 2009 the faces have changed a little!

Boat Boys new owners; Tim and Wendy Figgins are excited about becoming sponsors for ’09! Tim states. “I’m excited about becoming a part of such a great organization that supports not only the anglers in Ohio but also one that works hard at preserving our great outdoors. I’m new at the tournament thing; however I look forward to learning all the aspects of the game along with meeting a lot of new people. Here at Boat Boys, we are going to concentrate our efforts on the tournament anglers. Returning our focus towards the service side of the dealership and meeting the needs of those serious anglers that spend a ton of time on the water. Of course, new sales are important too, but keeping our guys on the water with the proper tools seems to be what most anglers I’ve spoken with value the most about a dealership.”

For ’09, Boat Boys will be awarding a $100 certificate to the “Highest Finishing” angler at each event competing out of a rig that was purchased from their dealership. “Previous buyers prior to the new ownership are grand fathered in and will be eligible to win!” Boat Boy’s will also be awarding a new MinnKota trolling motor at one of our trail events during the year to the winning contestant in the “Angler” division. In addition to all this, Boat Boys will also be offering a great deal on all Humminbird/MinnKota products to OBFN anglers only! Make sure to visit the "Specials" Section of the website, or Click Here for pricing information. You must show your Nation ID card upon purchase to receive these benefits! Boat Boys Pro Staff leader, Todd Thompson, is currently looking at putting together a new outside sales staff. So if you think you have what it takes to sell, promote and at the same time build you’re angling resume’, then give Todd call!

Money! Money! Money! Skeeter “Real Money” will again be a huge part of the payouts for 2009! Picture this when you purchase your new Skeeter: You paid a $60 entry fee to the OBFN Trail; you win an event, which pays out an average of $1500. You’re a member of the “Real Money” program, which just paid you an extra $3,000, and you purchased your new rig from Boat Boys and won an extra $100. That’s a total of over $4,600 in winnings on a $60 entry fee! Now that’s Real Money!!
