The Million Dollar Race Boat

Thanks for checking out this thread. We need your help and support fellow OSO'ers...

www.milliondollarraceboat.com
I'm sure you've seen Blake and I around on OSO or around the boat races and maybe even around a poker run. But if you haven't. Hi!

We're Blake and Brock Gratton and we've been around boat racing for well over 10 years now. (our dad is Joey Gratton)We're 24 year old Mortgage Loan Officers in Sarasota, Florida and we've wanted to race powerboats for as long as we can remember. We've been fortunate to have a father who has allowed us to test on weekends with him in not only every boat he's ever raced but also pleasure boats that he's owned previously. We're sick of being boat washers and we're ready to take it to the next level.

As you all know, boat racing is an extremely expensive sport and deep pockets is the only way to get into it. So today we're taking it into our own hands to start our own race team. We've started a website called www.milliondollarraceboat.com . The goal is to sell Ad space that will in turn fund a race boat. We're selling 1,000,000 pixels for $1 per pixel. Hence.. Million Dollar Race Boat.

We have big plans for the website, right now you'll find the website stickered across over 15 of the baddest race boats in OSS. T-Shirts have been made, it's on a Trolley in Sarasota, Press releases are being sent out everywhere. (If you're interested in sending a press release to your local papers and magazines please contact us by clicking here )

This is a dream that we're dying to make a reality. So we really need your help. I've always been told that if you're apart of OSO that you're a part of a huge family. So we're turning to you and your sponsorship ad on the website to get this ball rolling. Your not only supporting us but you're purchasing a peice of history.

Thumbs up Re: The Million Dollar Race Boat

Blake and Brock,

I'm not sure if you have ever heard of me, Sharkey, owner/ webmaster of www.SharkeyMarine.com .

I spend much of my time promoting the sport of Offshore and other Hi Performance Boating along with the businesses within the sport. All over the last 5 years in volunteering my time & money...

I hope to change that by getting some sponsors or advertisers to display banner ads on my site.

It was a choice I had to make this year.

Either shut down the site to keep my better half happy or start bringing in some income from it to keep my better half happy...

I feel what I do is too important to let it go without giving it 110 % effort.
I'm not sure how many people realize the amount of time it can take to upload 2 to 4 gigs of photographs and always trying to keep my site current. But I try my best, and in hopes to perhaps sell a few photographs, and gain some advertisers along the way that most likely I have already been promoting for the last 5 years without asking for anything.

Now with your situation, I chose to buy ad space for my site because for one, when I was your age I had the opportunity to go offshore racing. I didn't have the money then and I certainly still don't have the money now.
But I would like be a part of helping you two get that chance, as well as have my link on your site for the next 5 years...
It helps you and any potential advertisers I may pick up along the way...

My information has been sent in, and the payment has been made.

Thank you and good luck!

May we both prosper.
