Brad,

You are not miss reading it. The guaranteed 1st place prize at each of our 18 events during the year is a Ranger Banshee, equipped with a 40 HP, 4-stroke Yamaha outboard, Loadmaster trailer, Power Pole shallow water anchor, Minn Kota trolling motor and Humminbird electronics. This means no matter how many boats show up to fish, 1st place will be a boat. And here are some examples of our payout - if 50 or more boats show up, we pay 20 spots with 1st being a boat. If 100 boats show, we pay 20 spots, 1st being a boat and 2nd being $6,000.

If you fish is just 3 events during the year, you qualify to go to the no-entry fee Championship where 1st place is a Ranger 173 Ghost with a 115 HP, 4-stroke Yamaha outboard, Power Pole shallow water anchor, MinnKota trolling motor and Humminbird electronics, estimated retail value of $34,000.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,

Christy Schad

I mis-read something earlier about the payout. I thought the pay out was only like $1500 for first, and that depending on your boat and motor. This is alot better. It's a tourney and the only way you should make any money is to perform well. I don't like tourneys that pay 20-30 places, top 5 at best is good enough. It's like gambling. Your skills against someone else's. The BEST man wins.

 But then again, I do loose every tournament I enter. So who am I to judge a tournament for It's payout. Anyway thanks for the feed back on the IFA guys. I really appreciate it, and I look forward to next season!!!!!!
