Malibu Boats and Axis Wake Research continue to build the highest-quality, best-performing and top-selling towboats in the world through the industry’s strongest dealer network. This was proven once again at the Boating Industry Top 100 Dinner & Gala Celebration this week in Orlando, Fla.

The Boating Industry Top 100 is the only independent ranking of boat dealers in North America. It was established in 2005 to recognize marine dealers that are unrivaled in business operations, professionalism, marketing tactics and customer service. Honorees are selected from the thousands of dealers across North America and hundreds of nominations.

Ten Malibu and Axis dealers were named 2017 Boating Industry Top 100, and for the second consecutive year, OneWater Marine Holdings—also known as Singleton Marine Group, Rambo Marine and SMG Wake Houston—took Dealer of the Year honors.

Seattle Boat Company (#4), Hagadone Marine Group (#18) and Buckeye Sports Center (#20) joined OneWater in the Top 20, while Boulder Boats, Munson Ski and Marine, Shipyard Marine, Deep Creek Marina, Chessie Marine Sales, Inc. and Gordon Bay Marine also garnered Top 100 rankings. Malibu is proud to partner with these exceptional dealerships.

“We are extremely delighted to have built the strongest dealer network in the towboat industry,” said Jack Springer, CEO of Malibu Boats and Axis Wake Research. “I want to especially recognize all of the Malibu and Axis dealers who took top honors at this year’s Boating Industry Top 100 Gala. I would like to specifically recognize the dealers in the Top 20—Buckeye Sport Center, Hagadone Marine, Seattle Boat Company and for the second straight year, the number one dealer, OneWater Marine, also known as SMG. All of our dealers in the Top 100 are wonderful partners and help continue to drive Malibu and Axis to the number one market share across the world.”
