Tips, tricks and DIY advice for boaters and RVers—from first timers to experienced captains and road trippers. Have a boat or RV problem you haven’t been able to fix? Stop by and ask our tech expert about it.
At the age of 15, with no money to his name and no sponsors at the time, the Canadian born rider jumped into a van and made the long trek down from British Columbia to West Palm Beach Florida. Over the years he has won pro tours, world titles and Rider Of The Year. Known for hitting rails that everyone else is afraid to and attacking the wake with a level of aggression like no other, Chad still has the title for the biggest double-up ever recorded.
Massi Piffaretti
Coming from the shores of Lake Como, Italy, Massi is the 2019 Rider of The Year, 2015 and 2016 World Champ, and a one-of-akind Italian comedy side show. The easiest way to sum Massi up is he is that guy. With a handful of people on the beach, in a boat, or at a boat show, chances are he will have everybody in stitches with a story.

Dealer Certification is not a simple stamp. Certified Dealers have committed to be the best. They go through an extensive third-party audit of their customer experience, business operations and employment practices to assure they’re at the top of their game, so they can better serve you. Once dealers have gone through this intensive audit process, they commit to a continual education program, which requires them to continue to learn how to improve their customer experience, employee satisfaction and dealership operations.
When you decide to work with a Certified Dealer, you can be confident that you’re choosing a dealer that puts customers first and aims to offer you your best boating life.
Your Marine Industry Certified Dealership will help you choose the right boat for your lifestyle and your needs, maintain your boat, and provide service when it’s needed. To find a participating dealership, look for the Marine Industry Certified Dealership logo, or visit DiscoverBoating.com/dealers.
