Nearly 20 boat builders exhibiting at MDCE

Nearly 20 boat builders have signed up to exhibit at the 2009 Marine Dealer Conference & Expo, to be held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando Nov. 16-18, underscoring the growing interest in getting in front of the leading group of dealers that have pre-registered for this year’s national dealer conference. And with dealer attendance up nearly 70 percent and total attendance up more than 80 percent when compared to last year, there’s good reason for the interest.
To date, four boat companies have signed on as sponsors of the MDCE: Bennington Marine, Regal Marine and the Smoker Craft/Starcraft family of products have signed on as “Powered By” Title Sponsors, while Monterey Boats has signed on as an Official Sponsor. Additionally, 13 other boat brands have acquired space to exhibit at the event: Avalon Pontoons, Chris-Craft, Cobalt Boats, Formula Boats, Manitou Pontoon Boats, Mariah Boats, Nautic Star Boats, Nautique by Correct Craft, Premier Marine, Pursuit Boats, Sailfish Boats, Sea Fox Boat Co. and Stingray Boats.
