This year’s 75th anniversary of the Jacksonville boat show is going to give attendees the chance to get on some pretty cool new boats as well. For example, Barletta Boat Company is offering new options on their pontoon boat lineup. Their new steering wheel looks fresh out of a Maybach.

And if a cool boat like that isn’t enough excitement there’s a chance for you to win an outboard motor worth $12,000 dollars.

“Anybody that walks through the door with a paid admission is going to get a drawing ticket to go in a drawing to win a free Honda 75 horsepower motor,” Johnson said.
