CELEBRATING THE SEA RAY® 205 SPORT —
THE BEST-SELLING STERNDRIVE BOWRIDER OVER 20 FEET
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 

Amsterdam, Netherlands. – March 11, 2011 – Sea Ray Boats is proud to announce that its 205 Sport, a
perennial top performer in the company’s four-model Sport Series, ranks as the best-selling sterndrive
bowrider over 20 feet, according to data from Statistical Surveys, Inc.
“The 205 Sport is one of the best-running boats in its class. Combine this with the model’s smart
design and timeless style, backed by Sea Ray’s superior construction and confidence, and you can
understand why it is so popular,” said Rob Noyes, vice president of marketing for Sea Ray. “Our Sport
Series owners are active boaters who demand exceptional performance, versatility, value and quality.
The 205 Sport leads its class because it exceeds expectations on all these categories.”
Third-party acknowledgement of the 205 Sport confirms it is a true stand-out in today’s highly
competitive marine marketplace. In 2008, the boat was rated a “Best Buy” in Consumer Digest magazine,
a recognition received by less than 3 percent of the competing models in an given product category. The
editors at Consumer Digest said the 205 Sport “delivers big fun for its price,” citing it has “plenty of oomph
for water skiers and kids on tow tubes” and includes popular water-sports options such as an aluminum
tower and speed control. “Many bowriders aren’t equipped to handle these,” said the editors.
In addition, as part of the “Sterndrive Bowrider Boats” class, the 205 Sport has been honored with
seven consecutive Marine Industry Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards by the National Marine
Manufacturers Association (NMMA). “The Marine Industry CSI Award recipients are at the forefront of our
industry's growth potential and are helping ensure the experience of purchasing and owning a boat adds
value to the overall enjoyment of the boating lifestyle," said NMMA President Thom Dammrich.
Indeed, the 205 Sport provides a superior ownership experience by offering three floor plans that
allow buyers to customize the boat to suit their particular desires. Highlights of this dynamic runabout
include a Sony® stereo with CD player and MP3 port, pop-up ski tow eye, integral swim platform, power assisted steering and reliable power up to a 260-hp MerCruiser® sterndrive. Also included is a tandemaxle
trailer with surge brakes and swing-away tongue, plus a limited lifetime hull and deck warranty.
Sea Ray provides 205 Sport owners with incomparable peace of mind by offering the marine
industry’s largest and most knowledgeable dealer network: more than 450 locations operating on six
continents and boasting an average tenure of 24 years in business. Sea Ray consistently has more
dealers ranked on Boating Industry magazine’s “Top 100 Dealers” list and spends significant resources to
ensure that its representatives provide the best possible customer service and support.

Owners Club™, which provides wallet-pleasing benefits such as discounts on insurance and travel, an
Earnings Account that can be used to achieve a reduced rate on their next Sea Ray, and endless fun
opportunities like owners’ rendezvous and dock parties.
