TACO Marine Project Boat, featured on Ship Shape TV, chronicles a two-year remodeling process of a 1989 Pursuit 2650 powerboat to 2017 standards using the latest, most advanced materials and products.

The winning raffle ticket will be announced at 1 p.m. EST during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Nov. 5. The raffle drawing is slated for live-streaming on TACO Marine’s official Facebook page. Entrants can also purchase tickets in person at the TACO Marine Project Boat booth during the following boat shows:

Tampa Boat Show, Oct. 13-15 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida

TACO Marine Project Boat Raffle Fundraiser aims to raise money for the I’M LOGAN IT Foundation, a non-profit charitable 501(c)(3) organization created in memory of Logan Matthew Kushner – to honor and preserve his unique spirit and passion for life along with the values he represented.

Since 2012, the I’M LOGAN IT Foundation has raised more than $150,000 for charity – providing college scholarships to deserving young students and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

The I’M LOGAN IT Foundation’s mission is to inspire young people to achieve good self-esteem by encouraging them to do acts of kindness in their daily lives and mentor this message to others throughout their schools and communities.

In addition, the winner will be notified by phone. Ticket holders do not need to be present to win. Detailed Official Rules follow.

ELIGIBILITY. The Foundation has the right to request photo identification from any person desiring to enter the Raffle. The Raffle is void where prohibited by law, rule, or regulation.

A request for and receipt of a Ticket constitutes the entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these rules, terms and conditions, including all entry requirements.

No purchase or contribution is necessary to enter or to win the Raffle. To enter, an eligible entrant must request and receive from a designated representative of the Foundation an official raffle ticket (“Ticket”) for the Raffle.
