| Competition |
| The Company operates in a highly competitive environment. In addition to facing competition generally from non-boating recreation businesses seeking to attract discretionary spending dollars, the recreational boat industry itself is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition for customers, product distribution rights, and suitable retail locations, particularly on or near waterways. Such competition is intensified during periods of stagnant industry growth, such as currently exists. The Company competes primarily with single-location boat dealers and, with respect to sales of marine parts, accessories, and equipment, with national specialty marine parts and accessories stores, catalog retailers, sporting goods stores, and mass merchants. Competition among boat dealers is based on the quality of available products, the price and value of the products, and attention to customer service. There is significant competition both within markets currently being served by the Company and in new markets that the Company may enter. The Company competes in each of its markets with retailers of brands of boats and engines not sold by the Company in that market. In addition, several of the Company's competitors, especially those selling marine equipment and accessories, are large national or regional chains that have substantial financial, marketing, and other resources. Private sales of used boats represent an additional source of competition. |
| Business Plan |
| The Company's goal is to enhance its position as the leading operator of recreational boat dealerships. Key elements of the Company's operating and growth strategies include the following: (I) Implementing Best Practices, (ii) Achieving Operating Efficiencies and Synergies, (iii) Emphasizing Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty, (iv) Operating with Decentralized Management and (v) Utilizing Technology Throughout Operations. |
