REDS Offshore Racing relies on the support of local sponsors to race each year. Team REDS/Watt-Ahh® would like to thank the following sponsors for helping make our participation in the 2016 Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix possible…

This recently-upgraded hotel combines chic gathering places with comfortable beach-themed rooms. It is located within the closest mainland shopping and dining area serving Siesta Key and a convenient drive to the world-famous Siesta Beach, voted No. 1 and No. 2 Beach by Dr. Beach in 2011 and 2016, respectively. Hotel amenities include free continental breakfast, afternoon cookies, parking and a local shuttle, as well as an outdoor pool, a poolside bar, a hot tub and a fitness center.
Thank you, Co-owners Maria, Ed and Michael for your third year sponsorship!
Closeup on Team Watt-Ahh Crew: Morton’s Gourmet Market and Catering
This premiere market located in the Osprey Village behind Sarasota Memorial Hospital offers a selection of the best products featured at the N.Y.C. Fancy Food Show combined with our hometown favorites including Watt-Ahh® bottled water (since 2008). Morton’s should give a mouth-watering guarantee for using the best ingredients for its homemade soups, pastry treats (key lime pies), chef-created hot dinners (pulled pork), 40 fresh-made salads (Morton’s famous “2014” salad), fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, zesty condiments plus a wide variety of fine wines.
Thank you, Eddie and Todd for your third year sponsorship!
Closeup on Team Watt-Ahh Crew: AquaNew
Sarasota-based AquaNew, manufacturer of Watt-Ahh® bottled water, has been a major sponsor since 2009. The Team won the World Championship (SBI Class P3) the following year with Watt-Ahh! emblems on both sides of the race boat. The Watt-Ahh race boat also won the checkered flag in Sarasota last year (OPGP Class P1). We love hearing race fans shout out, “Watt-Ahh!”
AquaNew customers donate up to 40 cents from their purchase of Watt-Ahh® to Childhelp, to stop child neglect and abuse.

One of the best places to comparative shop a large variety of new and pre-loved cars is to visit Sunset Auto Group – Audi, Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, FIAT, GMC, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia, Porsche, RAM, Subaru, Volkswagen, Volvo and more! Sunset Chevy has been located for decades at the western end of Bee Ridge/Bay Road in Sarasota. Raceboat crew member, Dennis, is one of their mechanics.

We welcome our newest major sponsor hailing out of Freedom Marine located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. John (“Big Tuna”) and his wife, Sally, are seasoned in all things marine, including the provision of safety services for offshore races. The Watt-Ahh race boat is also from the Spectre family and in fact, is the first race boat designed and built by the original Spectre manufacturer. They are distributors of the new Spectre powerboats, and there will be a new boat display at Race Village near 12th Street in Sarasota (July 1-3). John can be reached at 1-954-270-6937.
Thank you, John and Sally for your sponsorship!
Closeup on Team Watt-Ahh Crew: Spectre Powerboats
The high-performance legacy of Spectre Powerboats continues with the recent introduction of the Spectre Phantom Cat (32’) shown above. This boat has been sold and is currently traveling to its new proud owner in California. Plus, Spectre Powerboats CEO, Chris Ivey, told us that he has ordered several more of the new Spectre boats! Why not? Spectre is world-renowned for its sleek lines, silky smooth ride, luxury custom seating, top-of-the-line instrumentation and race rigging that makes it perfect for both poker runs and family high-cruisin’ outings.
Thank you, Chris, for joining with Tunas Freedom Marine on a first-year sponsorship!
