In new “Motorboatin’ and Floatin’ Sweepstakes,” fans can enter to win boat delivered by No. 44 Ford Fusion Racecar Driver Brian Scott
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – May 16, 2016 – Nothing says summer like a day on the boat – warm wind in your hair, water beneath your feet, and a refreshing Twisted Tea in hand. With summer right around the corner, Twisted Tea is offering its loyal and adventurous fans a chance to spend their summers enjoying the water while “motorboatin’ and floatin'” in their own pontoon boat, custom created by renowned manufacturer Forest River Marine and powered by a world-class white 350 HP Mercury Marine Verado outboard engine; the quietest, most fuel efficient outboard on the market.
As a sponsor of Richard Petty Motorsports for the past three years, the team at Twisted Tea knew just the person to ensure speedy delivery of the boat and take its new owners for an inaugural spin – Brian Scott, driver of Twisted Tea’s No. 44 Ford Fusion racecar. Scott will captain the boat for the day, enjoying a beautiful day on the water with the winner’s owntwisted friends and family.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate summer than with an amazing giveaway featuring some of our favorite things – a Forest River Marine pontoon boat with a Mercury Marine outboard engine, our friends at Richard Petty Motorsports, and, of course, cold, refreshing and delicious Twisted Tea.” said Robert Vail of the Twisted Tea team. “We look forward to seeing who the lucky winner is and having Brian Scott take them for a spin.”
“It’s really awesome that Twisted Tea and Forest River Marine have teamed up to give a lucky fan this custom, one-of-a-kind pontoon boat with a Mercury Marine Engine,” Scott said. “I was able to test drive the boat earlier in the season, and let me tell you, it is perfect for not only warm, sunny days, but for any kind of boating outing. I’m really looking forward to being captain for the lucky winner and spending the day with the new owners.”
The pontoon boat is a South Bay Custom Super Sport 523RS Arch model with a 3.0 + performance chassis powered by a 350 HP Mercury Verado outboard motor, perfect for days relaxing on the water with friends and family. For those who don’t win the big prize, Twisted Tea will also give away pool floats and koozies to second and third prize winners.
“We take great pride in building the best pontoon boats so owners can enjoy themselves on the water, and this custom Twisted Tea boat is no exception,” said Tom McCuddy, General Manager of Forest River Marine. “One lucky winner will be enjoying themselves this summer on one of our South Bay Pontoon boats custom designed for Twisted Tea fans.
