Russell Marine named #4 dealer in North America

Boating Industry magazine announced their 2016 Top 100 dealers at a black tie gala December 8 in Orlando. Russell Marine has once again been named as one of the Top 100 dealers in North America — this year as Number 4 — by Boating Industry, the leading trade publication for the marine industry.

“From the thousands of dealers in North America – and hundreds of nominations – these 100 dealers are the best of the best,” said Boating Industry Editor in Chief Jonathan Sweet. “These dealers excel not only at the business of selling boats, but also in delivering a great customer experience.”

Asked about once again receiving the Top 100 accolade, Dave Commander, President of Russell Marine said, “To be named #4 dealer in all of North America is a big honor for Russell Marine and a great testimony to all of our employees.”

The Top 100 is the only independent ranking of boat dealers in North America. The list recognizes dealerships that are unsurpassed in business operations, professionalism, marketing tactics, customer service, and more. The Boating Industry Top 100 has recognized the top dealers in North America every year since 2005.

“As the Boating Industry Top 100 celebrates its 12^th year, the dealers on the list are stronger than they have been since before the Great Recession,” Sweet said. “The Top 100 and Hall of Fame reached nearly $2.7 billion in total revenue in 2015, surpassing last year’s total by more than $100 million. These dealers also faced stiff competition to make the list, with the highest number of applications since the recession.”

Russell Marine has made Boating Industry‘s prestigious Top 100 list every year since 2007.
