A camo Edge 756DB with a matching surface drive
A 2026 Edge 756DB aluminum boat, finished in a custom tree bark camo paint job and fitted with a Blackwater Edition light bar, headlines Vanator Waterfowl’s VW8 package. A matching Gatortail GTR 40XD surface-drive motor and an aluminum EZTrac trailer come with it.
The campaign breaks the prize into four numbered items: the boat, the motor, the trailer and $3,000 cash paid by check. What stands out is how deliberately the first two are matched. The motor is a 2026 Gatortail GTR 40XD surface drive, and it is painted in the same tree bark camo as the hull, so the boat and its power read as a single build rather than separate catalog items.
The listed equipment is specific. The Edge 756DB carries a front light bar built by Feathered Fab, full custom foam flooring and interior LED strip lighting, with the whole boat painted by Smokin Quack. The EZTrac trailer is all aluminum, described as lightweight and built to hold up to water and weather. Those details come from the campaign’s own prize page, so they describe what is being offered, not an inspected boat.
If you win: the rules state approximate retail values of $14,200 for the boat, $12,000 for the motor and $4,000 for the trailer, plus $3,000 cash, for a $33,200 total. Boat license, registration fees and taxes are the winner’s responsibility. A valid driver’s license is required to take possession, and towing the prize home at the winner’s choice is paid by the winner. The rules leave the boat’s final color, features and options to the operator, so confirm the delivered configuration.
Prize details are as described by the sponsor and its official rules. WTW has not inspected or driven the vehicle.

Mail each card separately in a hand printed first class stamped #10 business size envelope to: Compliance / Vanator 2026 Edge 756DB Boat + Cash, P.O. Box 468, Stonington, CT 06378. The return address on the envelope must also be hand-printed with sender’s full name and address. Rubber stamped or commercial printed return address labels will void the Entry. Each correctly submitted envelope receives Seventy-Five (75) Entries into the Sweepstakes drawing. Cards mailed without being inserted in a business size envelope are voided.

Excludes Quick Picks. This information must appear on the front lower left envelope corner for each specific Multiplier offer, which will be relied upon to qualify a Participant’s Bonus Multiplier Entries (“Bonus Multiplier Entry(ies)”). The postmark date must correspond to the announced Bonus Entry Period dates, or the mail-in Entry receives only Seventy-Five (75) Entries. If the announced entry multiplier opportunity offers fall on a Sunday or holiday, the mail-in Entry must be postmarked the day immediately following the offer date to receive the respective multiplier Entry that corresponds to the offer. All final mail-in Entries must be postmarked by December 31, 2026, and received by January 8, 2027. Each AMOE received will be worth Seventy-Five (75) Sweepstakes Entries (“Entry(ies)”), unless identified as a Bonus Multiplier Entry.
