Top 100 Dealers

Each year, the staff of Boating Industry magazine sends Top 100 applications to more than 3,000 boat dealers asking a series of quantitative and qualitative questions.

This year, the application consisted of 75 questions divided into 5 sections, each focused on a different aspect of a dealer’s business.

After months of evaluations, including a week-long retreat dedicated to the ranking process, the editors of the magazine revealed their final selections at a black tie gala in Orlando, Fla.
