SeaStrike and SportCraft Buck Trend of Boat Market

Ft. Lauderdale, FL, June 4 – S1 Marine LLC, builders of SportCraft and SeaStrike boats, keeps bucking the trend of the depressed boating market.

Tom Thies, President of S1, reported that sales are up significantly for the 12 months ending May 31st, 2007. “We are very pleased with the way dealers and retail customers have been buying both the SeaStrike and SportCraft lines. At this point, the number of boats we have shipped is well in excess of last year’s extremely optimistic forecast for this year!”

In the past month, S1 has also added two dealers. It signed Pelican Bay Marine in Gulf Breeze, FL to handle both lines and Louis Marine of Westbrook, CT took on SportCraft , according Mike Collins, S1 dealer development manager.  It now has 22 SeaStrike and 23 SportCraft dealers from Florida to Massachusetts to Michigan.

“We have continually been coming out with new products, with the introduction of the 260 SeaStrike Center Console earlier this year and shortly the much awaited 31 Sportfisherman at SportCraft. This gives our dealers and their retail customers an even more complete line from which to choose,” noted Thies.

S1 has a nearly 200,000 sq. ft. manufacturing plant in Perry, FL
