High End Boating Products Show Sales Growth
BoatersBasement.com announces 550% sales increase in the
luxury boat electronics market
Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) - August 29, 2007 - Despite a general industry
downturn, BoatersBasement.com today announces a 550% increase over 2006 sales
due to growth in high-end boat products. Large marine electronic systems are
the site's top selling products.
"We have seen a marked increase in the number of complete systems for large
sized boats that we have sold in the last six months," said Brandon Bissell,
owner of www.BoatersBasement.com. "From radar systems to autopilots and
chartplotters, large boat owners want the increased functionality that
today's marine electronics provide."
Top selling products include innovative systems like the Humminbird 997C
Chartplotter combo unit. Humminbird uses Side Imaging technology to deliver
near-photo perfect renderings of the water depths, scanning a larger distance
in minutes in what used to take hours (source: www.sideimaging.com). The
user-friendly product easily integrates with many different on-board systems,
and the free map included with this package is top of the line. Humminbird
has also been offering rebate incentives that help spur sales. (source:

Also driving sales are new GPS products by Garmin. The top selling Garmin
Astro Combo is a GPS-enabled dog tracking system marketed to hunters.
However, the product is a clear favorite among boaters, who use it for more
than tracking their pets. The extremely rugged Astro Combo has all the
features of Garmin's top-line handheld outdoor devices -- and also includes a
fishing calendar. (source:

"We believe the increased demand for high end boat products will continue
into 2008," predicted Bissell. "And BoatersBasement.com will continue to
provide in-demand products for our customers."
