Win $250 in March from West Marine

It's March.  Spring is around the corner (we hope).  If you're not already in the midst of a project we're sure there's a boat project in your not-to-distant future.  Boat covers will be coming off, boats pulled out of sheds and the spring buffing begins.  This year, along with your boat project you can add a chance to win a $250 gift certificate from West Marine as they've launched a  “Do It Yourselfie!” Promotion.   This social media contest will award three $250 gift cards to boat prep 'action photos,' i.e. you trying to fish out the wrench you dropped in the bilge.

We have the full details from West Marine following.  Best of luck with the spring projects and the spring DIYselfies.  Note the projects and photos must be done in March which is a good thing - you'll know you'll have your boat ready in plenty of time to enjoy Summer Sailstice and the full sailing season. 

Whatever you're working on have you or your first mate enter your action scene with #diyselfie.
