MINNEAPOLIS — July 8 — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas announces Boat History Report has joined as a Platinum Partner Member.
“Today’s information-driven boat buyers crave decision-making power from the comfort of their homes,” said Grant Brooks, CEO. “With so many options available to buy a boat, they prefer dealerships that make it easier to access the information they desire immediately. We are proud to partner with MRAA as a Platinum Partner, as their reputation of being the ‘Gold Standard’ for dealerships is critical for boat buyers in today’s market. We value the resources and tools MRAA provides its members and look forward to ensuring MRAA dealers have one additional tool that benefits both their own interests and the interests of their customers.”
Boat History Report was founded in 2005 by Brooks, who found it very difficult to find the complete history of used boats on the market while researching his next used boat. The search produced inconclusive findings and scattered results, so Brooks started the company to help other boat buyers have easier access to more credible information from a multitude of public and private sources and consolidated in one place. Since then, Boat History Report has grown to be the leading provider for pre-owned boat histories.
Boat History Report has a worldwide client list that is looking to ensure their next purchase is not only worthy of their investment, but also safe for their families. Boat History Report prides itself on its thoroughness of service, which has led to partnerships with some of the most well-known organizations in boating, such as MRAA, BoatUS, J.D. Power | NADA Guides and the International Yacht Brokers Association. It has also partnered with the National Insurance Crime Bureau as their strategic partner for boat information, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators to help influence change in the boating industry and the International Association of Marine Investigators to help detect and prevent fraud.
Marine manufacturers, suppliers and service providers, through Partner Membership, commit to aligning their brands with the programs and opportunities that MRAA works to provide the dealer body in order to help fuel the success of the industry. Support from Partners allows the Association to expand its offerings and create a positive, long-term impact in the business of MRAA members.
“Boat History Report is an important addition to our group of Platinum Partner Members with its level of knowledge of the pre-owned boat market ,” said Allison Gruhn, Director of Business Development. “We value its support and association with MRAA and look forward to generating resources, in particular pre-owned boating resources, for our members and the boating industry.”
