 MarineMax Introduces a
New Way to Buy Pre-Owned Boats and Yachts
Customers looking for a gently used,
late-model Sea Ray will be able to buy with confidence,
thanks to the new MarineMax Premium Certified
Pre-Owned Program
MarineMax
is looking to change the way people think about buying used
boats with its new Premium Certified Pre-Owned program. "The
used-boat market represents the majority of transactions in
the boat business, and we're by far the largest
used-boat dealer in the country," says MarineMax Director of
Operational Excellence David Witty. "Companies like Lexus,
Mercedes and other luxury car makers have been able to change
the used-car mentality with their certified pre-owned
programs. It's created real peace of mind for the
owners, and that's what we want to achieve with our
Premium Certified program."
MarineMax
is kicking off this program by offering late-model Sea Ray
boats that have actually undergone a comprehensive
inspection. "Every Premium Certified boat we sell will have
an up to 150-point inspection," says Witty. "If there's an
issue noted, it will be taken care of, and each of these
vessels will get a one-year extended warranty, which will be
backed by Brunswick's Product Protection program. The owner
will then be able to have the confidence of knowing
everything has been looked at and anything we've found has
been taken care of."

 Runabout
World: Wake-ccesorize Your Runabout
by
Jeff Hemmel
Don't
have the bucks for a new wakeboard boat? Add a tower and
ballast system to your boat instead.
Wakeboarding
is big right now. Not everyone, however, can afford a
wakeboard-specific boat. Nor would they necessarily want to.
Wakeboard boats are often expensive, deliver a rougher ride
due to their shallower hull deadrise, and aren't always the
best match for saltwater.

 The
Personal Watercraft Expert: Fast and Faster
by
Charles Plueddeman
With
aftermarket upgrades from Riva, Sea-Doo's RXT-X three-seater
can easily exceed its box-stock performance.
I was in Orlando last
month to test three high-performance watercraft, each a
three-seater capable of better than 65 mph. While giving me a
download on the new Sea-Doo RXT-X, the media rep for BRP
passed along this nugget.
"At boat
shows, the first question I get from a potential customer for
the RXT-X is how fast will it go," related Tim McKercher of
WaterTop Unlimited, (www.watertopunlimited.com) which represents
Sea-Doo. "And the second question is how fast can you make it
go?" Read
