Continuing its legacy of high employee satisfaction and premium aluminum boat designs, Princecraft Boats has been awarded the Employer of Choice Award by the Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice (BICEOC) award program for the fifth consecutive year. The award, which is historically presented during the annual Toronto Boat Show, was announced virtually this year.
“We are honored to once again be recognized with the Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice Award,” said Rodier Grondin, President, Princecraft Boats. “This award is especially meaningful as it correlates to direct feedback from our employees, who have continued to remain committed to delivering exceptional products and the highest level of craftsmanship, despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. On behalf of all of us at Princecraft, I am incredibly honored and proud of our team.”
The Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice (BBEOC) Award is the only made-in-Canada recognition for the country's recreational marine industry. A weighted scoring system is used to determine the winners. The Company Profile accounts for 50% of the overall evaluation score. The Employee Commitment Survey represents the remaining 50%. All participating companies must achieve a minimum of 75% combined score on the assessment to claim the award.

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.
The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
