What kind of sponsorship $$$ is in wrapping your boat?

Specifically offshore boats. It's pretty tacky imo, so I was wondering what they benefit from it. Huk in particular is popping up on a lot of big CCs. Free gear? Money? Both?

my guess is it's more of a contingency sponsorship
If you win while sporting their logo, they will payout x amount of dollars...but they supply the wrap free of charge

Lot of those sponsorships just pay parts of entry fees. Offshore entry fees can get mighty expensive. Others just give you a discount on their products. Very few actually pay the angler directly.

Some free stuff and discounts. You have to also know that "pro" staff actually means promotional staff not professional staff. So when you see these young little cuck duck hunters that are pro staff they are actually just getting used for advertisement

I would imagine they get enough compensation in some way shape or form that would offset the feeling of having a giant Huk wrap on the side of a brand new 42' Freeman.
Then again, for those guys that are hardcore I doubt it really matters to them what's on the side

Logo sponsorships are more about sowing off a name brand that is willing to sponsor you as it is about the money they offer. At least in some cases.
But I'll admit, it someone would have paid for a wrap for my boat, I'd have taken it. Protects the finish for free.....I'm in.
I don't get Huk popularity. Is it that great of a product. Seems like a "cool logo" company.

I was told to get paid by a sponsor you must consistently finish in the top 5-10 of tournaments.

They do it for two reasons. One so they get their own name on the boat and the sponsoring company pays for it, and two they stand out from the other charter boats. Social media is pretty easy advertising these days. So you need a boat that people will remember seeing on instagram or facebook. Mexican Gulf is a perfect example.

JJ Tabor's new 42 Freeman has a HuK wrap. They crew was Given 8K to pick out HUK gear. (not sure what other incentives) Gets the motors and electronics at discounts as well just for sporting a small sticker and getting press via social media and winning tournies.
