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 :

I look forward to covering them this racing season!

Thanks again guys for the support !!!

They are very, very nice people. Pepe, Linda, and Jo are second to none in support and going above and beyond for both customers, used Pantera owners and boaters in general.

You cannot say enough about them and I'm sure you'll be seeing more of their boats running hard soon!!!

Thank you gentlemen, It is nice to be appreciated!
Later,
Pp @ Pantera.

I met the Nunez family when we visited their plant. These people are absolutely great. They gave us lots of information and showed us everything. I am sure that they were busy 1 day before the boat show but they spent a lot of time with us.

Thanks for everything !!!!!!
