Buy a Boat & Win

On Friday May 3, the winner of the 2019 Toronto International Boat Show’s “Buy a Boat & Win $10,000” contest received their cheque at Gordon Bay Marine in MacTier, ON. Jason & Lori Hunt of Cambridge, ON,  Lake Huron boaters, bought a 16’ Bayliner Element at the recent TIBS show and the $10,000 went towards the purchase of their boat. 

The Buy a Boat & Win contest, sponsored by RBC, encourages visitors to finalize boat purchases before the end of the show.  A fine idea!
