EXCELLENCE IS A PRODUCT OF INTENTION

Excellence is a culmination of the right choices made for the right reasons.

Its aim is not only to satisfy, but also to delight. For a boat to be excellent, it must deliver on all levels, through technological advances that instill pride and confidence, and design choices that ensure comfort and contentment.

Performance, convenience, innovation, ease — Sea Ray calibrates these qualities for maximum impact, producing a luxury sport boating experience unlike any other: The SLX Experience. Orchestrated Excellence.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER SPRI N G 2016

Welcome to MarineMax Lifestyles There’s something about a New Year that makes us want to improve the quality of our lives. Many of us promise ourselves that we will live a healthier lifestyle, spend more time with family and friends, work less and play more. But before we know it, old patterns repeat themselves and life gets hectic and complicated.

As a member of the MarineMax family, you are already aware how the boating lifestyle enhances your life and your relationships.

The excitement of planning outings with your family and friends and spending quality time with them is a very healthy and natural stress reliever. You can’t help but notice that people start to engage with each other. The cell phone and electronic devices suddenly aren’t that important.

When I am out visiting our stores and attending boat shows, I often encounter our customers and they share how the boating

lifestyle has positively impacted their lives. Often, wives thank me

President, Chairman, CEO

and share that MarineMax has given them their husbands back.

Business might consume your time during the week, but weekends and vacations are reserved for connecting with family and friends on the water.

The MarineMax team is committed to our family of boaters and they enjoy introducing this lifestyle to new family members. It’s not about selling a boat at MarineMax. It’s about selling a lifestyle.

MarineMax represents 18 premium manufacturers, including new yacht brands Ocean Alexander and Galeon. Whether you are looking for a new or used recreational boat, our team can help you locate the boat of your dreams.

MarineMax, Inc. is the largest recreational boat retailer in the United States, with over 50 retail stores and service centers nationwide. MarineMax sells new and used pleasure and recreational boats for leisure, fishing, watersports and yachting, and provides customers with free boating classes, Getaways!® trips and more to help customers get the most from the boating lifestyle.

We would like to invite you to visit any of our locations at any time. Or you can visit our website to learn about our Getaways! to help you plan and schedule an exciting outing with fellow boaters.

And don’t forget about marinemaxvacations.com, where you can plan a charter on a catamaran in the breathtaking British Virgin Islands. Our team is available and ready to assist you with all your boating needs. Sales, service, planned events, and vacations – we’ve got it all.

Thank you, on behalf of our entire team, for joining our family.

We hope to see all of you enjoying yourselves on the water in 2016 and creating a lifestyle of fun and relaxation.

THE R ISE O F STERNGAT I NG DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BEST TAILGATING EVENTS DON’T EVEN TAKE PLACE ON LAND? YOU DO NOW.

Forget baseball, tailgating may be the new great American pastime. There are few things more enjoyable than gathering up your crew, setting up shop in your favorite team’s parking lot, and then cracking open the cooler and firing up the grill. It’s a simple pleasure that’s not only fun— it is often the genesis of tradition, something to be passed down from generation to generation. But here’s

Some resorts even provide fishing poles and minnows when you rent a fish house. “All you have to do is show up,” Rasmusson says.

“You do want a good rod and reel. You use a more compact rod for ice fishing than regular fishing. It is shorter and the reel is smaller,” he notes.

Some people like to use tip-ups when ice fishing.

These small devices dangle bait in the water and a spring loaded flag “tips up” once a fish bites, letting you know when it’s time to get to start reeling. Take it to the next level, and you can also purchase tip-ups that will alert you on your smartphone via Bluetooth technology.

Just as with summer boating there is a variety of electronics you can purchase to assist you in finding the perfect spot and the fish. Combination units include GPS and lake contours programmed into them.

And don’t forget an auger to cut a hole in the ice!

You can choose from gas-powered, propane and batterypowered augers. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, lithium ion battery augers are lighter and easier to get out on the ice but they are not as powerful.

THE N E X T BE ST T HIN G BOSTON WHALER 330 OUTRAGE

Every new model that Boston Whaler introduces benefits from the experience the designers, engineers and technicians gained from the previous generation, new technologies and most importantly the feedback from Boston Whaler owners. The Boston Whaler 330 Outrage is no exception.

“Everything in this boat is intentional. Storage compartments right where you want them, walking space right where you need it, performance that never disappoints,” said Jeff Vaughn, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Customer Service. “Our customers are incredibly savvy and have told us what their boating lives demand. Customer feedback has been instrumental in shaping the 330 Outrage.”

The 330 Outrage was crafted to deliver a remarkably soft, dry ride that makes it inherently safer. The variabledeadrise deep V-hull is complimented by the full-length hard chines and lifting strakes that create a smooth ride and predictable and precise handling.

“Boston Whaler designs every boat to be Confident to the Core, and the new 330 Outrage exemplifies this focus,” said Vaughn. “The 330 is impeccably constructed, balancing stability and softness in a way that no other boat manufacturer has achieved.”

Fitted with a full, console to hardtop, windshied with power actuated vent, the 330 Outrage keeps the helmsman protected in inclement weather. Inside the console is a VacuFlush® toilet with holding tank equipped with an overboard discharge and dockside pump-out port. There is also a sink with pull out sprayer, storage cabinets, the circuit breaker panel, stereo and the remote ignition key switches. At the helm is the remote control for the stereo and pushbutton start for the standard twin 300 hp Mercury Verado outboards. Mercury Joystick Piloting with Skyhook station-keeping, twin 250 hp or twin 350 hp Mercury Verados are available as options.

"The 330 Outrage is a clear demonstration of Whaler's ongoing commitment to advancing comfort and seaworthiness."

There is major room in the aft cockpit for serious fish fighting. An aft-facing couch converts to form a leaning post, and houses an optional 40-gallon livewell. And, in one quick motion, the seat back slides up and flips down to reveal a large work surface, complete with stainless-steel grab rails and drink holders. Additional features include a wide, convertible aft bench, which folds completely out of the way to provide extra fish-fighting real estate; an optional teak cockpit table, which also stows neatly away when not in use; and a standard 50-gallon livewell behind the aft bench seat.

BOAT – IN MOVIE S THERE IS NOTHING MORE AMERICAN THAN FAMILY OR DATE NIGHT AT THE MOVIES, OUT ON THE WATER From the earliest days when motion pictures replaced vaudeville

Americans’

primary

entertainment

experience right through cool evenings at the drive-in with the walkie-talkie like speaker hanging from the car window to the 3-D thunder of today’s blockbuster at the multiplex, movies have held a special place in our hearts and our imaginations.

Despite the migration to the individual screen on our laptops or tablets, we are not becoming a nation of nosepressed-to-the-glass Netflix junkies. We like to get out.

We like to come together over the shared experience of the cinema.

And if you are a boater, what could be better than combining the twin passions of the movies and boating.

In short, nothing. It is the perfect combination, like hamburgers and fries, Abbott and Costello, Tracy and Hepburn. We don’t know the identity of the first person who thought of projecting a movie on huge floating screen on the water, but we know they were a genius.

The combination has it all. A community of boaters coming together to be entertained in the great outdoors with the waves lapping the boats, the excited squeals and hushed voices of the children, and the flickering images of Hollywood projected across water and night sky.

You will find plenty of boat-in movie nights at MarineMax locations across the country. The popularity just continues to grow because it taps into those wonderful impressions we all have in our collective brains of favorite movies seen in the company of favorite people.

BEER BARREL POLKA BRATWURST This simple recipe will get the gang fired up. The brats can be prepared ahead or in the galley. For this recipe you will need a marine grill like Magma’s ChefsMate Connoisseur series gas grill.

Ingredients 6 12 Oz. bottles or cans of beer 2 Large onions, thinly sliced 1 Cup of butter 1½ Tsps. of pepper 2 Lbs. fresh bratwurst 10 Hoagie rolls

Directions Poke the bratwurst with a fork several times to avoid the bratwurst from bursting while cooking. Pour the beer into a large stock pot with the bratwurst, onions, butter and pepper. Over medium heat simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. If preparing ahead let the bratwurst and onion cool and place in a sealable container and keep refrigerated until ready to grill.

Lightly oil the grate of the grill. Place the bratwurst on the pre-heated grill searing the bratwurst, turning occasionally. Cook for 10 to 20 minutes. If possible, reheat the onions in foil alongside the bratwurst. Immediately serve the bratwurst and onion on a presliced hoagie roll. Serve with stone ground mustard. Turn on the polka music and enjoy.

VAMONOS CHIPS & SALSA This is a great make-ahead recipe for homemade chips and fresh salsa.

Using fresh ingredients will assure the salsa is full of flavor, and distinctly different from the store-bought varieties.

Ingredients 2 Cups peanut oil 10 Medium flour tortillas 1 Tbsp. salt 8 Large ripe tomatoes 1 Medium green bell pepper, diced 1 Medium red onion, diced ½ Cup fresh cilantro 1 Medium fresh jalapeùo, chopped fine 1 Medium garlic clove, minced fine 1 Tsp. ground cumin 1 Tsp. ground black pepper 1 Medium lime, juiced

Directions In a large skillet pre-heat the peanut oil to 350 – 365 degrees. Slice the tortillas into eights forming wedges. Place the individual wedges into the hot oil for 1 minute. Turn the wedges over, cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the hot oil when golden brown. Place on paper towels and salt to taste immediately.

Repeat until all the wedges are cooked.

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and remove seeds. Lightly salt the tomatoes and place in a colander to drain for 30 minutes. Finely dice the drained tomato quarters and place in a large bowl. Add the diced green pepper, diced red onion, chopped Jalapeno, minced cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, black pepper and the juice of 1 lime. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator. This recipe is great to make ahead because it is best served after the ingredients have a chance to blend overnight.

MarineMax will be introducing 10 Galeon yachts from 38 to 66 feet. These sleek and powerful yachts with contemporary interiors come in several model lines – hardtop coupes, flybridge models and what Galeon calls skydeck models.

MarineMax will be offering two hardtop models, the Galeon 385 HTS and the 445 HTS. Both are express-style opens with hardtops featuring large opening sunroofs.

In addition, MarineMax will offer four flybridge models ranging from the 39-foot Galeon 380 Fly to the 56-foot Galeon 550 Fly each featuring enclosed salons and large flybridge decks that extend over the cockpit area.

Perfect for socializing underway.

What Galeon calls a Skydeck model is essentially a smaller bridge deck set back to allow for a sunroof over the lower helm station. MarineMax will carry four Skydeck models from the 430 Sky to the 660 Sky. These models combine the amenity of a sunroof with the convenience of an upper helm station.

“Another key factor for MarineMax partnering with Galeon is that Galeon works with their customers to create semi-custom handcrafted excellence. All Galeon Yachts are presented with a long list of options. Owners can highly configure their yacht to their tastes and needs making each Galeon Yacht as individual as its owner,” concluded Cashman.

MarineMax is excited to host the American debut of Galeon Yachts at the Miami International Boat Show February 11 – 15, 2016.

TAKE CONTROL OF THE WAKE NAUTIQUE CONTINUES TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES AND DELIGHT HARDCORE WATERSPORTS ENTHUSIASTS

With the launch of the 2016 G-Series boats, Nautique announced the all-new Surf Select app for Pebble Smartwatches. A push of a button, and surfers have full control of their wake from their wrist!

First, what’s the Pebble Smartwatch?

Pebble SmartWatch was the first smartwatch, and smartwatches are all they do. It is compatible with iPhone and Android smartphone devices, allowing you to leave your phone in your pocket... or in our case, on your boat.

And most importantly, the Pebble Smartwatch allows you to download apps, specifically the Surf Select app from Nautique.

Second, what’s the Surf Select App from Nautique?

It’s game changing. The future of customized wakesurfing control has arrived with the all-new Nautique Surf Select.

Through the use of the app on their Pebble Smartwatch, surfers are able to control the wave using one-touch transfers exactly when desired. For total customization, the Surf Select app for the Pebble Smartwatch features the ability to fine tune the ZeroOff Speed Control, Nautique Surf System (NSS), Nautique Configurable Running Surface (NCRS), stereo volume and music track while allowing surfers to transfer the wave instantly or at a three-second countdown. Surf Select is the only system on the market with positive feedback from the helm displayed right on your watch keeping your current settings in view at all times.
