Miami Boat Show Recap

I just got back from the Miami Boat Show, it truly is the show that kicks off the boating year! You could feel the electricity in the air in Miami, this was a big show for the boating industry, lots of new and interesting products and technologies as always.

This was the first in-water show for our 290DC Dual Console, which was a great success. The 290DC sea trial schedule was filled for each and every sea trial from 10AM to 5PM from Thurs day until today with over 120 trials taken! Although we applied for an NMMA Innovation Award for the 290DC, we weren't able to win. We're not going to let that get us down, based on customer feedback and feature comparison, we believe the 290DC to be the best in class offshore dual console boat available... styling, features, seating, safety, and of course... ride. Lots of excitement around the World Cat docks and booth. Our preliminary sales results show an increase in retail units over last year of 50%! This gives us the confidence that we're listening to our customers and designing products with them in mind. We're looking forward to releasing the new products we currently have in development (290EC, 290CC), and especially the ones we've been dreaming up over the past week!

We'll keep trying on those awards!
