Sarasota, FL- December 9th, 2016 – Chris-Craft would like to congratulate Chris-Craft dealer, OneWater Marine, for being named 2016 Dealer of the Year by Boating Industry. Boating Industry announced the 2016 Top 100 dealers at a black tie gala December 8th in Orlando, Florida. The Top 100 ranks dealers in North America based on rankings in business operations, marketing, and customer service.  

“There may not be a company doing more to shake up the boating industry than OneWater Marine Holdings,” said Boating Industry Editor in Chief Jonathan Sweet. In addition to multiple acquisitions, OneWater Marine grew same-store sales by 16 percent and net profit by 27 percent.

Chris-Craft would also like to congratulate Chris-Craft Dealer Legendary Marine who was previously inducted into the Top 100 Hall of Fame as well as Bosun’s Marine for being named Best Industry Advocate for 2016. Pride Marine Group in Canada ranked at number 8 and Bosun’s Marine in the Boston area ranked number 11. In addition, the team at Wayzata Marine on Lake Minnetonka was also recognized as a Top 100 Dealership. 

Chris-Craft has been blessed with some of the best dealerships in the industry. We appreciate the effort it takes to lead, and we are proud of these great leaders for their accomplishments in sales, marketing, and customer care.
