The episode you've been waiting for is here. We're bringing you the final Ship Shape TV episode that features the TACO Marine Project Boat conclusion.
An adventure more than two years in the making, with twists and turns and wonderful surprises, Project Boat would not have been possible without the tremendous support of its many sponsors listed below and the crew at Ship Shape TV.
Together, we fundraised more than $132,000 for the I'M LOGAN IT Foundation – supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and college scholarships for deserving students.

The winning raffle ticket was sold to Roger LeFranc of Melbourne, Florida during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Nov. 1 – 5, 2017. LeFranc, an avid fisherman and boater, said he plans to christen the boat "Justin Time II" after his son, Justin.
