PLENTY TO SEE, DO AND WIN
Visitors to this year’s Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show, Auckland Showgrounds, May 18-21, will have lots to see and do and plenty of chances to win, with an amazing collection of great prizes on offer.
As well as showcasing all the very latest boats and boating and fishing gear, this year’s show will offer Kiwi boaters and fishers the chance to win the most valuable prize ever offered at a boat show. Worth $300,000-plus, the Surtees/yamaha Grand Prize consists of a 30th Anniversary Edition enclosed cabin Surtees 750 Game Fisher, a 250hp Yamaha four-stroke V6 outboard, a Yamaha Helm Master EX boat control system, a GFAB double-axle braked trailer, over $20,000 of Garmin electronics, plus a boat-load more!
Visitors to the show will also be able to win Viking family kayak packages, Mac Boats, and a whole host of other prizes simply by visiting those stands and registering their interest.
Those keen on improving their fishing will be able to learn new tips and techniques from some of New Zealand’s top fishers in the free Top Catch Master Class presentations and there will be plenty of fun and excitement for the kids (and more chances to win!) in the Fishing & Adventure Fan Zone. And for those keen on a challenge, the popular Haswing Trolling Motor Challenge will be running in the Hutchwilco Pool (with a $15,000 Zodiac prize package going to the winner).
The show’s unique Coastguard No Reserve Auction will again offer visitors the chance to score a bargain, while doing their bit to help the Charity Saving Lives at Sea.
