I made my way to the Miami Show this year.

1st time for me in over 20 years.

It hasn't been easy getting out to many of these events but I decided to take a chance this year with going to Miami. I felt that if I had to sacrifice a race or two in order to do so, then I would do what I have to do.

In order for me to provide and maintain photos on my sites, and to get out to events such as the racing and poker runs, I rely alot on my sponsors as photo sales hardly cover all of the costs involved.

I was fortunate enough to find the Pantera booth in Miami and meet the Pantera crew. I have always heard of these guy's reputations and how nice they were. The comments were dead on ! Even before they saw my name tag!

Anyway, I saw these men making every effort to compete against the hi-dollar competition with an awesome product they build. I had a flashback to when I was in their shoes trying to do the same thing in the '80's.

I couldn't help but think they could use some cost effective advertising and when I asked if they would be interested in advertising with SharkeyMarine.com & Sharkey-Images.com it was a no brainer. Their response was an instant yes.

I just finished putting together their Banner ads on my sites and at this time I would like to give a BIG THANKS to PANTERA BOATS for their support.

Here are just 2 of many of the pages that the Banner/Links appear :
