Forever Resorts, one of the country’s largest recreational concessioners, is pleased to offer HBC-4 Anglers and VTOs a special discounted rate for their popular “Floatels” for the March 13, 2009 contest.

"A Floatel is a full-size houseboat that remains docked in the marina," notes Jim Smith of Forever Resorts. "Anglers can tie their bass boats up to their Floatel and enjoy all the comforts of a modern houseboat without ever having to leave Don Pedro Marina. Our houseboats have four bedrooms, a full-service kitchen with all necessary cooking appliances and utensils. With lodging accommodations somewhat scarce in the Lake Don Pedro area, a Floatel is the way to go," Smith adds.

Forever Resorts is offering their Floatels to HBC participants at a reduced rate of $250 per night, a savings of $150 per night. Split four ways, this comes to approximately $65 a night.

“This is a sweet deal for Anglers and VTOs,” notes HBC co-founder Ron Cervenka. “If four guys split the cost of a Floatel, it’s cheaper than a motel room and you’re right there. You won’t have to hassle with launching your boat on tournament morning,” adds Cervenka.

HBC-4 Anglers and VTOs interested in reserving a Floatel can do so by calling 209-852-2369 and asking for Joyce at boat rentals. Be sure to tell Joyce that you are with the HBC tournament to get the discounted rate.
