July 22^nd and 23^rd   2005 brought another great event to Blue Wave Boat Owners.  As the largest Owners Tournament of it’s kind on the Gulf Coast, held once again at Port Aransas, Texas, this event was one not to have been missed.  In case you don’t know the history of this event, it was started in 1998 to celebrate the loyalty of Blue Wave Boat Owners. With 90 boats registered and 225 friends and family in attendance that first year, this event has swelled to last years total of 200 boats and 872 friends and family present. “We want to give back to our loyal customers,” proclaim the Parks.  And loyalty seems to be what a Blue Wave Boat Owner is all about.  Last years event was sponsored by Yamaha, Boaters World, Academy Sports, Shakespeare Fishing, Budweiser and Coca Cola, just to name a few.  Dinner was catered by Black Tie Affair.  Countless prizes given away, and of course Trophy’s and cash prizes for the following divisions:
