Nope, some of you are going to charge us! And many of you have… To the tune of several Benjamins last year. Well, while we understand the feelings, and expected none the less. In reality we have the only Owners Incentive program that does not charge the original owner for that perk. Others have an annual fee every year, while we have no first time owner fee now. And yes you are in fact charging us for that exposure. Somehow we try to gain a bit of these fees in our clothing, and we are working on this guys. Though the logo is a part of that program, and the shirts with that are a part as well. We have not said that we are going to charge for the logo at this time. Though it does take time to send files, find the ones you want, and provide them to you. And GM doesnt send the “Bow Tie” files out for clothing, unless you are sponsored, which we do as well on the BCB sponsored folks. We can not reproduce those Yamaha, BRP and Mercury Logos unless you are sponsored. So we fall under these same rules. For those companies who reproduce our logo on a sublimated die jersey, we receive no kicker. And no company has the rights to openly reproduce that logo without permission. Most embroidery shops will tell you that on any logo. The sublimation company receives and makes a profit for the shirt you had made, though BCB does not in this case. So thus some of our Quest funding is lost. Which we are trying hard to not charge an annual fee on, to those original owners. The Owners Tournament is the only one which has no required fee, and the Quest program has no required fee. You get both of these perks when you buy a new boat, and one (OI) just by being a registered owner. Sure we have an optional entry fee for the Owners Invitaional, though it is paid out fully. 20% or so chose to not enter that last year and BCB reaps nothing from that entry. We are considering some improved options for this, though for now we dont have those answers and wont for some time. It will be under review by those parties that be. BCB
