Ocean Outboard Marine is known as the best, new and used boat dealer on Amelia Island
Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Bayliner Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. The Jacksonville Business Journal reported today that some Northeast Florida Boat Dealers have joined a part-ownership network.
Five boat dealers in Northeast Florida have joined a program that allows boaters to have partial ownership of a vessel.
Stuart-based MyBoatShares matches partial owners through a network of boat dealers. The program has added Haskell’s Marine, Jacksonville Yacht Sales and Atlantic Coast Marine in Jacksonville, as well as Ocean Outboard Marine in Amelia Island and Riverbend Marine in St. Augustine.
The program works through its network of dealers and the Internet to match up two to four would-be boat owners. MyBoatShares, through the dealers, handles storage, maintenance and repair of the boat.
The program also handles financing and loan repayment, insurance and the running of an online reservation system to help partial owners schedule the use of their boats.
“It’s a competitive advantage for us and a real benefit to today’s boaters who are weighed down by the rising costs of boat ownership,” said Buddy Haskell, president of Haskell Marine.
Glenn Enriquez, CEO of MyBoatShares, said partial ownership can allow boaters to get a larger boat for a smaller investment, an option increasingly attractive in a slow economy.
“With new boat sales declining over the past three years, due, in part, to a weak economy, boat dealers are looking for new ways to move inventory and improve margins,” Enriquez said.
