We searched the seas looking for the perfect boat to bling! Congratulations to the McGovern Family from Kankakee, IL -- winners of the 2008 Bling My Boat contest! Their "blinged" 1995 Grumman 22SD was unveiled on opening day of the show, January 16, 2008!

Thanks to the experts at Bottoms Up Boat Repair and the generous donation of time, talent and products from our other sponsors, this deserving family's boat was transformed from floating flotsam to a boating beauty with state-of-the art accessories, an updated interior -- and some surprise bling!

NEW to the 2008 Chicago Boat, RV & Outdoors Show, the "Bling My Boat" makeover contest was presented by Travelers.
