Something I've been meaning to ask:  I noticed in a televised interview with Denny Brauer and his son that Denny has a number 7 on his boat (& vehicle I believe), and his son has number 3 (as I recall).  Is there some significance that I'm missing?  I don't recall seeing other [fishing] pros with specific #'s on boats/vehicles.   

GLman,
Didn't mean to cause you extra work to move the post. I thought it belonged here, but wasn't sure.

Found it!  Go to www.brauerbass.com and the opening page has his boat & truck with the 7 on it.  ..... thought i was imagining it for awhile 

No problem at all Waterwings. 


I guess its time for them all to have number so it will be like nascar.  Someone mentions #8 in a #7 fan tavern and there is a brawl.

Neat rig I like the colors but I bet it gets a little warm in the summer with the dark colors.

Makes sense to do it like NASCAR, that way seeing a large number on a boat would make it more readily identifiable at a distance I guess.  Now all I have to do is to convince KVD to adapt #17 and the DeWalt logo for his rig and it'll be like Matt Kenseth's car 

With bass fishings increasing popularity all over it was only a matter of time before they took the next step with numbers. In the next 5 years I can see a bunch of non-fishing sponsors starting to pop-up (home depot, dewault, energizer, lowes, budweiser, etc...).

oh yea....boat racing is almost has big with sponsors has nascar...the HUGE racing boats.

Bass fishing is blowing up in a big way. It's starting to get a good following.
