Morespecifically, we were ranked #12; a spot we are proud to holdconsidering the size of our dealership and team versus the multi-statemega-dealers that exist in North America.
We were also ranked in the top 10 in worldwide sales for Grady-White, Pursuit and Regal, achieving a #1ranking from Regal for Dealer CSI among their worldwide family of dealers. This year also saw theopening of our Sarasota location that focuses on representing the Pursuit brand in both the Sarasota andManatee Counties.

The teammembers that staff the location include JoeMammina and Woody Brewer.
Our memberships with the Manatee, Sarasotaand Longboat Key Chambers of Commerce arepart of our efforts to increase our involvement inthese local communities. As part of these effortswe held a ribbon cutting ceremony attended bynearly 100 people in 2014.

The eventwas staffed by team members from both saleslocations as well as a factory representativefrom Pursuit.

Being a family owned business we take agreat deal of pride in the relationships we formwith our customers. The most rewarding part ofall, however, is the transition from customer re-lationship to lasting friendship. While we appre-ciate the loyalty of each and every customer,some have shown us a gratitude over the yearsthat we can never repay. Ken and Kathi Styplefit that mold.
They bought their first boat from us in2009, a 2008 335 OS Pursuit. When asked whyPursuit, Ken responded, “Having been involvedin boating for forty years, I have come to appre-ciate the value of a well-made craft and the rep-utation of the company that proudly standsbehind its product.” This opinion was reflected inhis decision to purchase two more Pursuit mod-els, a 2013 OS 345 and most recently a 2015OS 385.
It’s no secret that the West Coast of Flori-da is home to numerous boat dealerships, manylocated in and around the Tampa Bay area, sowe had to ask Ken and Kathi, why QualityBoats? According to Ken it was our stance as “alocal, long-standing family business” that drewhim to dealership initially. He went on to high-light both the professionalism and knowledge ofthe sales staff and how refreshing it was to betreated with courtesy no matter what his inquiryor needs were.
At Quality Boats we pride ourselves onthe dedication of each member of our salesteam and we are extremely grateful that this wasreflected in the Styple’s experience.

In their words, “Our sales-man, Byron, has always spentweeks, months, and once over ayear, to make the deal with whichwe were comfortable. The pur-chase inevitably was made possi-ble because Byron workedtirelessly on our behalf with Dave.And of utmost importance was thegenuine concern and desire Daveexhibited in order for us to pur-chase each boat.”
Ken also recognizes an im-portant fact, “No boat deal is com-plete without a skilled servicedepartment.” Having owned threeboats Ken and Kathi have gottento know our top of the line serviceteam. When asked to describetheir experience they replied, “Danhas an excellent service team thatcompletes the experience andmakes our boating more enjoy-able. Randy, Ed, and everyonewith whom we have interacted forany reason at service is friendly,courteous, and well-informed.”
Integrity is something that istoo often lost in the sales process,at Quality Boats we ensure this isnever the case. There’s nothingmore rewarding than hearing thatour customers recognize our highstandards.
This recognition is reflect-ed in these kind words fromKen & Kathi, “We truly believethat Dan and Dave Bair aremost sincere in their endeavorsto satisfy each customer andmake the purchase a joyousevent. It has been said that thehappiest times in a boater's lifeare the day he first purchases a
boat and the day he sells it. Wedisagree (with the latter).”
On behalf of the entire Quali-ty Boats team we would like to saythank you to the Styples for theirloyalty, commitment and most all oftheir friendship. Here’s to manymore years and many more boats,Cheers!
