ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 4, 2009 – Most boaters join Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) for the helpful services, savings, and representation it offers. But here’s one more reason: join before November 30 and you could be $25,000 richer.  The nation’s largest recreational boat owners group will wrap up it’s year-long “Wave of Fortune” sweepstakes on that day, so time is running out.
