Most of my extended family is right in the path down in Florida.  However, like you today is probably the last day I can get on the water.  My bride and I are going to the mountains for some R&R and we aren't bringing the boat. 😢

I agree with Mr. Barde. I think as long as your boat is safe and in good working order you should be fine.  There are however contingency programs that offer $$ for using their products i.e. Phoenix pays an extra $7k if you win a tournament on of their boats 2 years old or newer I believe.

You get my vote!!

No worries, Brian.  I got the impression that logistics were being handled by someone else.  Thank you.

Wow! Lots of good answers from the SUF folks. Like everyone else I believe it would be an incredible learning experience to spend time on the water getting to know BLat on a more personal level and see firsthand so many of the nuances of his years of tournament fishing.  Additionally, I want to understand the off the water things involved with tournament fishing as a career.  I'm 100% sure whomever gets this opportunity will GROW their fishing knowledge greatly.
