Minnesota Inboard Water Sports and Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors
Special Boat Show Event

Minnesota Inboard is proud to join forces with Jared Allen, All Pro Defensive End for the Minnesota
Vikings for a special, one day only, boat show event. Jared Allen will be in our booth, in person, on
Thursday, January 19th from 4-8pm, promoting his non-profit organization, Homes for Wounded
Warriors. Founded in 2009, this organization builds handicap accessible homes nationwide for our
wounded vets. To commemorate this event, Minnesota Inboard has designed a custom wrapped boat,
which will be displayed and available for sale at the show. This boat is Malibu’s all new Wakesetter
MXZ, which offers the largest open bow in the industry, and a new unique look that is sure to turn
heads!

Minnesota Inboard, Malibu Boats, Ultimate Boat Wraps, Polk Audio and Monster Cables have all
partnered in creating the 'Jared Allen Homes for Wounded Warriors' custom Tank Boat. Each
individual company has donated equipment to allow a portion of the proceeds in the sale of this boat to
go to the foundation.

We will have a special unveiling of the boat at 5PM on Thursday, January 19th in
booth 1902.

In addition, there will be limited edition Jared Allen H4WW Tank Boat T-shirts being
sold at the show, with all proceeds from the shirts will go directly to the foundation. Come down and
check us out, and help benefit a great cause at the same time!

Minnesota Inboard will be in booth 1902. In addition to our featured Tank Boat, we will have 10 other
great Malibu and Axis boats displayed in our booth. Minnesota Inboard has been selling Malibu boats
in Excelsior, MN for 20 years. We are the largest inboard boat dealership in the Midwest, and have
been the #1 selling Wakeboard and Waterski boat dealer in Minnesota for 15 years straight! We look
for forward to seeing you at the show!

With summer in full swing and lots of boats on the lakes, it's very important to know basic boating safety.

At Minnesota Inboard safety is our primary concern for our customers.  We want you to have fun boating and if someone makes a careless mistake, the fun might end before your day is done. 

Please take a moment and watch this video on boating safety - even if it's just a re-fresher for you experienced boaters!
 

by Keith, "The Boating Guy" from Discover Boating:

How do I navigate a boat and what types of navigation units there are?

We've put together a nice collection of boating videos.  They range from everything like how to's, to driving, at the launch and how to pull a skier, wakeboarder etc... Even if you're an experienced boater, some of these might be a good refresher or useful while teaching others.

We are extremely excited to show off our first ever custom wrapped wakeboard boat at this year's Minneapolis Boat Show!  After doing a nationwide search, the team at Crow River Signs AKA Ultimate Boat Wraps were a natural fit for a couple of reasons.  First and foremost, it was great to work with a local business.  Secondly, they were very open to creating whatever design we could come up with.  Last but certainly not least, they had a great repuation and previous customers had nothing but great things to say about their experiences with Ultimate Boat Wraps.  The design process was very enjoyable and I think we really hit a homerun with the design.  From a distance, the wrap looks like Carbon graphite with Blue Flames.  Upon a closer look, you can actually see that the carbon graphite is made up of thousands of cubes, embossed with the Minnesota Inboard logo! 

To see the boat in person, come visit us at booth 1402 at the Minneapolis Boat Show.  The show runs January 20-23 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.  And don't forget to stop by booth 66 to see the team from Ultimate Boat Wraps or just visit their website at www.ultimateboatwraps.com
