florida wildlife federation’s 2013
“23rd” annual boating sweepstakes
Dear Friend of Conservation,
I’d like to invite you to take part in our 23rd Annual Boating
Sweepstakes. Since 1991, the boating sweepstakes has become one
of the most important fundraising programs for the Florida Wildlife
Federation. By taking part you could win a brand new boat or $25,000 in
cash, while making an important contribution to the cause of conservation in
our state. Proceeds will be used right here in Florida to pursue vital fish and
wildlife programs from the Everglades to the Escambia River. By supporting
the Federation, you’ll help us maintain our efforts in promoting fish and
wildlife habitat conservation on both public and private lands, wetland
protection, sound coastal conservation policy, clean air and water initiatives,
Everglades restoration and conservation land protection — all of which ensure
that we can continue to enjoy the wonderful outdoor opportunities Florida
has to offer. For more information about the initiatives of the Florida Wildlife
Federation, please visit us at www.fwfonline.org. If you receive multiple
mailings for this sweepstakes, please feel free to enter more than once or pass
them on to a friend.

The HEWES REDFISHER (16-feet) is perfect
for the serious, shallow-water flats angler. With
a 10-inch draft and a 7-foot, 2-inch beam, it has
the range to run deep into the backcountry, where
its easy-to-pole design makes it the perfect “sight
casting” fishing platform. It’s also a comfortable,
safe family boat that’s easy-to-trailer and easy-tomaintain. Plus, it has the unmistakable smooth, dry
ride of a genuine Hewes.The ready-to-fish package
includes a fuel-efficient, low-emission, 90 HP 4-cycle
Yamaha outboard engine, a drive-on aluminum
trailer, poling platform and push pole.
The Ray E-Boat Explorer 21 electric boat (21feet) brings exploring tributaries, creeks and secluded water
to a new level of accessibility. Easy to trailer and launch
with the family car, the boat features a shallow draft of 8
inches – motor up, and 18 inches – motor down. The Explorer
will cruise continuously at 6.2 mph for 8 hours on only 8 golf
cart batteries – guaranteed. With its shallow water drive,
the propeller manually tilts up leaving only 10 inches of
draft. The propeller is guaranteed not to bend or break for
two years. Comes complete with 12V house battery, 48V
bank of batteries and chargers, and a Bimini top.

Clean Air Excellence Award. The E-Tec and the four-stroke Yamaha 90 have both earned a 3-Star Certification for low emissions from
the California Air Resources Board, one of the toughest standards attainable. Ray Electric Motors are emissions free.
