Boston Whaler

Boston Whalers are known for their unsinkability. This is due to their Unibond™ hull construction, which provides unmatched safety. The company’s founder, Richard Fisher, famously demonstrated this by cutting a Boston Whaler in half and driving away in the half with the engine. This unsinkability is a key feature of all Boston Whalers, and it is a testament to their smart design, high-quality construction, and forward-thinking technology210.

Brunswick Corporation acquired Boston Whaler in May of 1996 for $27.4 million in cash and debt14. Boston Whaler is an American boat manufacturer that produces a wide range of boats, including fishing boats, sport boats, and luxury yachts26.Here are some of the boats produced by Boston Whaler, organized by type and popularity:

Fishing Boats:

• Montauk
• Dauntless
• Outrage
• Conquest
• Vantage

Sport Boats:

• Super Sport
• Montauk
• Dauntless
• Vantage

Luxury Yachts:

• Realm
• L-Class
• Outrage

Boston Whaler boats are known for their unsinkable foam-filled hulls, cutting-edge features, and durable construction26. The company has a rich history of innovation and advanced design that has redefined the face of the yachting industry26. Boston Whaler boats are manufactured in Edgewater, Florida, where the company has a dedicated factory24.

Sea Ray

Sea Ray Boats was founded in 1959 by C.N. “Connie” Ray, who began a tradition of innovation and advanced design that would eventually redefine the face of the yachting industry13. Ray’s dealer-based approach to growing his company was unique in the boat building industry, but it was Sea Ray’s 1975 Sundancer line and its impact on powerboat styles that earned the company its prominent place in the history of the yachting world13.

Sea Ray grew from modest beginnings to become the largest manufacturer of superior quality pleasure boats in the world, producing over 30 models every year13. Connie Ray believed charismatic dealers were essential to a business’ success, and Sea Ray’s steady growth during the 60s and 70s can be attributed to the strong dealer network he established13.

Sea Ray’s design team was hard at work, and in 1975, they quietly introduced the SRV 240 Sundancer, redesigning the face of American yachting with their innovative design13. In 1986, Sea Ray became a part of the Brunswick Corporation, which had decided to branch out into the boating market13. With the addition of several other brands the corporation acquired during this period, Brunswick emerged as the world’s largest producer of marine engines and boats13.

Sea Ray continues its tradition of innovation and excellence to the present day, producing models in four product families: Sport Boats, Sport Cruisers, Sport Yachts, and Yachts1

Brunswick Corporation acquired Sea Ray in 1986 for $350 million12. In 2018, Brunswick announced that it was selling Sea Ray to the Italian boat manufacturer, Ferretti Group1. However, the sale was later retracted, and Brunswick decided to retain and revitalize the Sea Ray brand3. Brunswick also announced that it would discontinue Sea Ray sport yacht and yacht models, resulting in the wind-down of yacht production in the third quarter of 20183.

Some of the Sea Ray models that are still in production include:

• Sea Ray SLX 400
• Sea Ray Sundancer 320
• Sea Ray Sundancer 320 Coupe
• Sea Ray Sundancer 320 OB
• Sea Ray Sundancer 350 Coupe
• Sea Ray Sundancer 350 Coupe OB
• Sea Ray Sundancer 370
• Sea Ray Sundancer 370 Coupe
• Sea Ray Sundancer 370 Coupe OB
• Sea Ray Sundancer 370 Outboard
• Sea Ray Sundancer 400

• Sea Ray Sundancer 400 Outboard
• Sea Ray Sundancer 460
• Sea Ray Sundancer 460 Coupe
• Sea Ray Sundancer 460 Coupe OB
• Sea Ray Sundancer 460 Outboard

Sea Ray boats are manufactured in the United States, and the company has several manufacturing facilities across the country12. In the marine products industry, Brunswick Corporation’s competitors include Yamaha Motor Corporation, Bombardier Recreational Products, and Suzuki Motor Corporation4. Brunswick Corporation is a USA corporation that has faced monopoly investigations in the past3. Brunswick Corporation is controlled by billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, which owns a 9.5% stake in the company5.

Mercury Marine

Brunswick Corporation acquired Mercury Marine on August 1, 1961[2][5]. Mercury Marine is a leading provider of marine propulsion systems, including outboard and inboard engines, propellers, engine control systems, and electrical components[1][3]. Brunswick markets these products under the Mercury brand, which includes Mercury Marine, Mercury Racing, and MerCruiser[1][3].

As for electric outboards or take-home engines, Brunswick Corporation has been investing in electrification and has launched a new boat brand called Veer, which is designed for electrification and first-time boaters[3]. However, it is not clear from the search results whether Brunswick Corporation is currently working on an electric outboard or take-home engine under the Mercury brand.

In 2018, Brunswick Corporation completed the acquisition of Power Products’ Global Marine & Mobile Business, which includes the global marine, specialty vehicle, mobile, industrial power, and transportation aftermarket products businesses of Power Products[4]. This acquisition added a broad portfolio of marine aftermarket and OEM parts and accessories, including sophisticated electronics solutions, to Mercury Marine’s P&A portfolio[4].

Mercury Marine offers a wide range of outboard engines, including four-stroke, two-stroke, and electric models.

Here are some of the most popular Mercury Marine outboard engines:

• Mercury 2.5 HP: This portable outboard is preferred by thrill-seekers and anglers alike. It is easy to install, low vibration, and has instant throttle response[3][4].
• Mercury 6 HP FourStroke: This lower range of Mercury FourStroke engines offers a fantastic output, reliable operation, smooth throttle response, and many other features. It is a single-cylinder engine with 7.5/123 (CID/CC) displacement[3][4].
• Mercury Four-stroke 75 HP: This engine comes with a 2.0L engine that generates optimal power with quieter operation. It is powerful and swift on the waters[3].
• Mercury 115 HP FourStroke: This engine has a high displacement and low weight, which makes it powerful and swift on the waters. It reaches the top speed in about 8.30 seconds[3].
• Mercury ProXS 150 HP: This engine is available in 175 to 300 HP models in naturally aspirated versions. These are the lightest models of their size, have Adaptive Speed Control (to maintain RPM regardless of load or wave conditions), and a service hatch in the cowl for easy access[1].
• Mercury Verado 175 HP: This engine is known for its smooth and quiet operation, fuel efficiency, and low emissions. It is also equipped with SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) technology[4].
• Mercury Verado 400R: This engine is designed for high-performance boating and is known for its speed, acceleration, and handling. It is equipped with advanced technologies, such as Adaptive Speed Control and Mercury Racing Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) technology[4].
• Mercury 5M: This engine is the most powerful of a range of single-cylinder marine engines from 4 to 6 hp. It is torquey and easily planes two hefty adults and fishing tackle in flat-bottomed punts to 3.5 meters[4].
• Mercury 40 HP LW: This engine is lightweight and compact, making it ideal for small boats and dinghies. It is also fuel-efficient and easy to maintain[4].
• Mercury 60 HP ELPTO: This engine is a three-cylinder carbie two-stroke outboard that suits aluminum runabouts up to five meters. It has plenty of bottom-end grunt for easy planing and is straightforward to maintain and service[4].

Mercury Marine is constantly innovating and investing in electrification. While there is no clear information on electric outboards or take-home engines under the Mercury brand, Brunswick Corporation has launched a new boat brand called Veer, which is designed for electrification and first-time boaters[2].

Bayliner

Bayliner is the world’s largest manufacturer of recreational boats, and the company has produced many different models over the years1256. Bayliner was founded in 1957 by Orin Edson, who started building low-cost but quality boats with lasting value6.

John Orin Edson had a net worth of $1 billion to $1.4 billion at the time of his death in 201912346.

Edson was an American businessman and entrepreneur who founded Bayliner Marine in 195716, after serving in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was also the majority owner of superyacht builder Westport Yachts6.

Bayliner boats were initially built by Glas-Ply Boats, but Edson later set up manufacturing in a barn on a berry farm in Marysville, Washington6. He operated for a while as Puget Plastics before purchasing rights to the Bayliner name. The company was incorporated as Bayliner officially in 1972. Bayliner eventually produced up to 1,000 boats per week from 24-hour manufacturing facilities across the US, generating upwards of a reported $750 million in annual sales and represented by 750 dealers in over 40 countries6.

In 1986, Bayliner Marine sold an unprecedented 43,000 boats in one year6. Bayliner boats are now part of the Brunswick Boat Group, a division of the Brunswick Corporation5.

From 1982, Bayliner began to actively gain popularity. Bayliner models became boats of the year according to various reputable publications, and between 1991 and 1995 every fourth boat sold in the USA was Bayliner2.

According to the Bayliner website, the following boats have been in production since 2000:

• Bowriders: 160, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, 205, 210, 215, 225, 235, 245, 255, 265, 275, 285, 305, 315, 335, 350 A bowrider is a type of boat that has a seating area in the bow, the forward part of the ship135. Bowriders are generally designed for recreational use such as day cruising or water skiing, and they come in a variety of styles from luxurious to basic135. The open bow area distinguishes it from a cuddy boat13. Bowriders typically range in size from 17′ to 35′, use stern drive or outboard engines, and hold between six and ten people3.
• Deck Boats: 190, 195, 210, 215, 235, 240, 250, 265, 270, 280, 300 A deck boat is a type of boat that has a wide beam and an open deck plan5.Deck boats are designed to maximize space onboard, making them ideal for entertaining and socializing with family and friends5. They are also great for water sports such as wakeboarding and tubing5. Deck boats typically range in size from 18′ to 28′ and can accommodate up to 14 passengers5.
• Cuddy Cabins: 215, 235, 245, 265, 285 A cuddy cabin is a type of boat that has a small cabin in the bow, which provides a sleeping area and sometimes a small galley and head13. Cuddy cabins are designed for overnight trips and are ideal for small families or couples13. They typically range in size from 20′ to 30′ and can accommodate up to six passengers13.
• Overnighters: 642, 642 Cuddy, 742, 742 Cuddy, 742 Cruiser, 842, 842 Cuddy, 842 Cruiser, 912, 912 Cuddy, 912 Cruiser. An overnighter is a type of boat that is designed for overnight trips and has a small cabin with a sleeping area, galley, and head1. Overnighters are ideal for small families or couples who want to spend a night or two on the water1. They typically range in size from 20′ to 30′ and can accommodate up to six passengers1.
• Element: 16, 18, 21 The Element is a series of boats produced by Bayliner that are designed to be affordable, easy to operate, and low maintenance3. The Element series includes boats ranging in size from 16′ to 21′ and are ideal for day cruising, water sports, and fishing3.
• Center Consoles: 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 215, 230, 245, 275, 300 A center console is a type of boat that has a console in the center of the boat, which houses the helm and other controls5. Center consoles are designed for fishing and are ideal for offshore and inshore fishing5. They typically range in size from 18′ to 40′ and can accommodate up to 12 passengers5.
• Bowriders (Jet): 175, 195, 215
• Deck Boats (Jet): 190, 200, 210, 215, 235, 240, 250, 265, 270, 280, 300 A deck boat is a type of boat that has a wide beam and an open deck plan5.Deck boats are designed to maximize space onboard, making them ideal for entertaining and socializing with family and friends5. They are also great for water sports such as wakeboarding and tubing5. Deck boats typically range in size from 18′ to 28′ and can accommodate up to 14 passengers5.

Bayliner also makes cruisers producing several boat brands, including Boston Whaler, Maxum, Sea Ray, and Meridian Cruisers5.

A cruiser is a type of boat that is designed for overnight trips and has a cabin with a sleeping area, galley, and head156. Cruisers are larger than other types of boats, such as bowriders and center consoles, and are designed for cruising and fishing156.

Cruisers are often referred to as “pocket cruisers” or “fast trawlers”15. But they are not a pocket cruiser unless they are under 27 feet. Cruisers are known for their spacious interiors, comfortable accommodations, and affordable prices156. They are easy to operate and maintain, and they provide all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay on the water156.

Cruisers are generally able to handle the water well because of their size and give a stable ride56. They are generally spacious in the cockpit (open seating area towards aft or center)5. Most newer cabin cruisers are faster than older models because of improved aerodynamic and hydrodynamic designs5.

Bayliner has produced several cruiser models, including the Bayliner 325 Sport Cruiser, which was new for 2005 and heads Bayliner’s fleet of some 10 cruiser models5. The Bayliner 325 Sport Cruiser is a spacious boat that combines a spacious cockpit and cabin with well-thought-out arrangements for both entertaining and overnighting5.

Cabin cruisers are generally able to be recovered and towed with a trailer and thus easily stored on land, which reduces maintenance and expense5. These craft are generally equipped with a head (toilet), a galley, and at least one berth5. Most cabin cruisers usually have a small dining area and some have an aft cabin (a cabin to the rear of the cockpit, with a double bed)5. Some cabin cruisers are equipped with heating, air conditioning, and power generators5. Most also have water heaters and shore power electric systems5. The cabin cruiser provides many of the amenities of larger yachts, while costing much less and normally being fully operable by the owner, whereas larger yachts often require a professional crew56.

Bayliner cruisers are a type of boat that is designed for overnight trips and has a cabin with a sleeping area, galley, and head15. Bayliner cruisers are known for their spacious interiors, comfortable accommodations, and affordable prices15.

Bayliner cruisers are typically larger than other Bayliner models, such as bowriders and center consoles, and are designed for cruising and fishing15.

The main difference between Bayliner cruisers and other Bayliner models is their size and purpose. Bayliner cruisers are larger and designed for overnight trips, while other Bayliner models are smaller and designed for day cruising, water sports, and fishing15. Bayliner cruisers are also typically more expensive than other Bayliner models, reflecting their larger size and additional features.

The advantages of Bayliner cruisers over other Bayliner models are:

• Spacious interiors: Bayliner cruisers are designed for overnight trips and have a cabin with a sleeping area, galley, and head15.This makes them more spacious than other Bayliner models, such as bowriders and center consoles, which are designed for day cruising, water sports, and fishing15.
• Comfortable accommodations: Bayliner cruisers are known for their comfortable accommodations, which make them ideal for overnight trips15. The sleeping area, galley, and head provide all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay on the water15.
• Affordable prices: Bayliner cruisers are typically more expensive than other Bayliner models, but they are still affordable compared to other brands2. This makes them a great value for boaters who want a comfortable and spacious cruiser without breaking the bank2.
• Good entry-level boats: Bayliner cruisers are often considered good entry-level boats for boaters who are new to cruising3. They are easy to operate and maintain, and they provide all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay on the water3.
• Good reputation: Bayliner cruisers have a good reputation for quality and reliability16.While Bayliner has had some quality issues in the past, the company has worked hard to improve its products and reputation16.Bayliner cruisers are now known for their quality and value16.

Overall, Bayliner cruisers are a great choice for boaters who want a comfortable and spacious cruiser at an affordable price. They are easy to operate and maintain, and they provide all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay on the water.

Bayliner boats are manufactured in Knoxville, Tennessee, Dandridge, Tennessee, and Arlington, Washington, in the United States, as well as in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, in Mexico156. Bayliner also has a plant in Portugal for the European market and in Brazil for the South American market56.

Bayliner has come a long way since its inception in 1957. The company has undergone several changes in production over the years, including quality improvement, acquisition of Chrysler’s outboard motor division, overhaul of the brand’s image and designs, redesign of the hull, popularity gain, and acquisition by Brunswick Corporation.

Bayliner has overhauled their entire lineup for 2024, including new models, logos, and a redesigned website to help mark their 65th anniversary12.The new models have not been listed by name, but a video walkthrough of the new 2024 Bayliner VR6 has been posted on YouTube3. The updated Bayliner “B” represents the spirit of feeling at home at the helm. In addition to a new look showcased through the logo, tagline, and design of boat models, consumers can expect a new website experience that guides them to the model that best suits their needs2.

The price range for new Bayliner models varies depending on the model and the dealer. Here are some examples of prices for new Bayliner models:

• The starting price for a new Bayliner boat is $9,9951.
• The 2024 Bayliner VR5 Bowrider has a boat price of $53,540, with a discount of -$1,107, and freight & prep included. Taxes & licensing are extra, making the total boat price $52,4333.
• Sale prices for the 2023 Bayliner VR5 Bowrider include all applicable offers, with not all options listed available on pre-owned models. Contact the dealer for details. Plus tax, 204 months, 8.99% APR, and $4,957 down payment5.

It is important to note that these prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the dealer and location.

Lund

Lund boats are still being manufactured in New York Mills, Minnesota, where they have been produced since the company’s inception11215.As for the models currently in production, Lund offers a wide range of boats. According to the information available, there are 38 models currently in production, which are part of 10 lines: Alaskan, Angler, Crossover, Fury, Impact, Pro Guide, Pro-V, Rebel, Renegade, and Tyee5.

These boats are meticulously crafted to ensure high quality and durability8. The production process involves the use of aluminum 5052 H34, which offers the perfect balance of strength, weight, hardness, and flexibility, as well as glass fiber for durability and reliability5. The company provides a lifetime warranty on its boats, further attesting to their quality and durability5. As mentioned, Lund boats are built in Minnesota. Lund Boats produces both aluminum and fiberglass fishing boats

Brunswick Corporation uses robotic technology in the construction of aluminum boats, similar to automotive builds134. The use of robotics in boatbuilding has been found to reduce costs and increase competitiveness14. The modularization of the boatbuilding process has also been identified as a way to improve the use of robotic welding of aluminum boats14. By breaking down the boatbuilding process into smaller, more manageable modules, the use of robotics can be optimized, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings14.The use of robotic technology in boatbuilding has several benefits, including:

• Increased precision and accuracy in welding and other manufacturing processes
• Improved quality control and consistency in the finished product
• Reduced labor costs and increased efficiency
• Faster production times and shorter lead times for customers

By using robotic technology in boatbuilding, Brunswick Corporation is able to reduce costs and increase competitiveness, while also improving the quality and consistency of its products134.

Freedom Boat Club

The Freedom Boat Club (FBC) is a members-only boat club with locations in the United States, Europe, and Canada. It is considered the largest marine franchisor in the US5.

FBC operates on a shared asset model, where members gain access to a fleet of boats that are shared among the members of the club. The fleet consists of a variety of boats such as bow riders, cruisers, deck boats, and fishing boats5. Members are not limited to the same boat or the same type of boat each time they go on the water. FBC handles all aspects of service and maintenance for the boats, and members can reserve boats through an online reservation system1.

Freedom Boat Club provides on-the-water boat safety classes to ensure that members are comfortable and safe while boating5. The club also organizes membership socials, including dock parties, dinners, party boat cruises aboard local charters, local parades, and more2. Membership in Freedom Boat Club offers the opportunity to enjoy boating without the hassles and costs associated with owning a boat1.

Joining the Freedom Boat Club involves two main costs: a one-time entry fee and a monthly membership fee. The one-time entry fee ranges from $2,400 to $11,000, depending on the location and the specific plan you choose2. This is a single payment that you will not have to make again once you become a member2.

The monthly membership fee ranges from $130 to $400, again depending on your location and the plan that you choose2. For example, in Chicago, the monthly membership fee was $449 as of June 2023, with an increase to $499 starting from January 1, 20243. In Wilmington, the monthly fee was around $300 initially and increased to $404 in 20234. In Pensacola, Florida, the monthly dues were around $3008.These costs can vary by state and country, and they may change over time2. It’s also worth noting that some locations may offer promotional deals or discounts on the one-time entry fee6.
