Minnesota Boat Owner Wins Second Annual "Bling My Boat" Contest
Refurbished Boat to be Unveiled at 2008 Minneapolis Boat Show

The Minneapolis Boat Show announced that the Uran family of Excelsior, Minnesota has won the 2008 "Bling My Boat" contest. This is the second year the Minneapolis Boat Show has chosen to restore a boat for one lucky Minnesota family. Representatives from the Minneapolis Boat Show surprised the family at their home in Excelsior. The newly refurbished boat will be revealed on the opening day of the Minneapolis Boat Show on January 23, 2008.

Family friend Kevin Westfall nominated the 1974 Donzi Hornet in memory of John Uran, who passed away in 2003. "John lived near Lake Minnetonka his entire life, and he really loved that boat," said Westfall. "John and his family spent most of their spare time out on the water. He knew that lake like the back of his hand."
