MarineMaxMarineMax 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."

runaboutRunabout 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.

Seadoorxt 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 more...
