Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding and the Madonna, a car ferry boat being constructed in Sturgeon Bay for the Washington Island Ferry Line, have jumped from the sweet 16 to the elite eight in balloting for the honor of being named The Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin. The 124 foot ice-breaking passenger/vehicle ferry will now square off against Mercury Racing for its 450r outboard motor. The current round of voting runs through Sunday, September 29th with the competitors hoping to reach the final four. Cast your ballot at madeinwis.com. The contest is sponsored by Wisconsin Manufacturer’s and Commerce and Johnson Financial Group. Delivery of the Madonna is scheduled for late May 2020.
