Announcing the Winner of the TACO Marine ® Project Boat!

Announcing the Winner of the TACO Marine ® Project Boat!

We are excited to announce the winner of the TACO Marine® Project Boat Raffle Fundraiser is Roger LeFranc from Melbourne, Florida! LeFranc was randomly selected Nov. 5 at 1 p.m. EST during the final day of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

After a two-and-a-half year remodeling venture extensively chronicled on Ship Shape TV and a successful fundraising campaign with nearly 1,800 entrants and donations, the TACO Marine Project Boat Raffle Fundraiser raised more than $130,000 for the I’M LOGAN IT Foundation!

All proceeds from the Raffle Fundraiser support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and college scholarships for deserving students. Donations for a chance to win Project Boat poured in from around the country – including states as far away as Hawaii, Alaska and Maine!

Thank you for all your generous donations and support!

The TACO Marine Project Boat would not have been possible without the tremendous support from its many amazing sponsors and organizers, including John Greviskis and the entire team at Ship Shape TV.

Since 2015, the TACO Marine Project Boat was featured on 29 Ship Shape TV episodes. You can find all these episodes and more at tacomarineprojectboat.com.

We’d also like to send a special thank you to the Informa organizers at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show for their support of the TACO Marine Project Boat and the I’M LOGAN IT Foundation – helping promote and organize the raffle fundraiser for charity.

From all of us at TACO Marine, thank you to all of the sponsors and boat show organizers who helped make the TACO Marine Project Boat Raffle Fundraiser a success.
