As the top choice of pleasure boaters worldwide, Sea Ray stands ready to help you achieve your boating destiny during our Take Command Sales Event. This is the ideal time to get into the current or non-current Sea Ray of your dreams while taking advantage of fantastic savings from $1,000 to $175,000.*

Visit us at our QMC Showroom, or go to www.searay.com to learn more about this very special limited-time offer.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or loyal customer, Sea Ray has the right boat for you at an unbeatable price, plus everything you need to enjoy it with confidence: superior quality, award winning satisfaction and lifestyle events like no other.

Our display featuring the new model Sea Ray 470 Sundancer was the drawcard stand at the Brisbane Boat Show. Literally thousands flowed through our stand just for a look at this spectacular boat; we were swamped! With the huge, ever popular Boston Whaler 345 Conquest at one end and the massive 470 Sundancer the other our stand was full of people for just about the whole of the four day show.
The show was an outstanding success in terms of sales and follow-up leads as well. We now have a whole lot of new members of our Sea Ray Owners Club.

Sea Ray’s prudent reorganization and restructuring in response to the world-wide financial and economic crisis has put the company in a position that will allow it to grow through the crisis and emerge stronger with increased market share throughout the world.
One result is that Sea Ray will now only build a boat once it is ordered. This has put lead times dramatically forward. For instance, to take delivery of a new Sea Ray for Summer you would need to consider ordering now!
(Lead times will still vary from model to model.)

QMC was the major sponsor for the Surfers Paradise Game & Sport Fishing Club’s 2009 QMC All Tackle All Species Tournament held over the weekend of the 7th  and 8th  of March.
With Andrew the only one on board with any experience the QMC team did not do so well. Nonetheless, fishing out of the Boston Whaler 305 Conquest they all had a lot of fun.
After a massive struggle and a lot of assistance Neil landed a small Tuna which Andrew immediately threw back. Jamie Nani hooked a decent Wahoo that got away, but managed to land a Tuna which also went back, then Bryce landed a Dolphin Fish and another Tuna before they all retired to quieter waters to recover.
The rest of the Tournament was a great success as you can read in the Club Newsletter below.
Presentations were held at the tournament base, Southport Yacht Club, on Sunday evening.

QMC All Tackle All Species Tournament

Our annual Tournament was successfully staged on the weekend of the 7th and 8th March. The new venue of the Southport Yacht Club proved to be very popular with anglers, offering a great location, quality food, good marina in a raft-up style and friendly staff.
The 28 boats and 95 anglers were greeted by unusually good weather. With the Gold Coast experiencing a hot Black Marlin bite over the previous couple of weeks, expectations were high. However, the Blacks disappeared over the weekend, although the Blues had a bit of a chew, with several lost. Over the two fishing days, the fleet tagged 9 Blue Marlin (above left), 2 Black Marlin, 1 Shortbill Spearfish, 17 Mahi Mahi, 3 Wahoo, 8 Yellowfin Tuna (right), 31 Mackerel Tuna, 61 Striped Tuna and 1 Spotted Mackerel.
A big thank you is extended to all our sponsors, including the major sponsors for the Tournament: Queensland Marine Centre, Reelax and Deep Vee, and to the Southport Yacht Club. With the support of all sponsors, anglers and the Yacht Club, the Tournament raised a total of $2,500 for our favourite charity, Camp Quality, as well as ensuring our financial stability for the next year.

Customers are more focused than at any time in history on ensuring that the investment they make with a new boat is solid; that they’re not throwing their hard-earned dollars into a relationship they can’t trust. A new boat is an investment — an investment in their family, their leisure, their peace-of-mind.Today, more than ever before, customers are not just buying a boat; they’re buying a boat company! And only Sea Ray can provide the security and owner confidence that they expect and deserve:

    Sea Ray is celebrating its 50th year in business in 2009.

    Sea Ray is the number one worldwide choice for sterndrive and inboard pleasure boats. More owners choose Sea Ray than any other single brand.

    The average Sea Ray dealer’s tenure is 23 years in business (QMC has been here for 13 years). We’ll be there when you need us.

    Our dealer sales and service teams are the most tenured in the business. They stay with Sea Ray because of the quality of the product and their personal commitment to Sea Ray owner satisfaction.

    Sea Ray has invested more than $70 million in the last three years in product design, quality and manufacturing improvements. We’re not operating out of a warehouse, and our employees are dedicated to long-term customer satisfaction.

   Sea Ray’s product development facility is the largest and most sophisticated in the world. In the last two years we have introduced more new models than most manufacturers have in their entire model line-up.

  Sea Ray and our dealers live the boating lifestyle. Instead of selling a piece of fiberglass and throwing the customer the keys, we engage each owner and help them get maximum enjoyment out of their investment — getaways, rendezvous, dock parties, off-season events — all designed to ensure that the owners’ experience lives up to their boating dream.

    Sea Ray’s customer retention is the highest in the industry, and among the highest of any company in any industry. The combination of customer-driven innovation, world-class customer service and a commitment to owner enjoyment keep more Sea Ray owners “in the family” year end and year out.

    We don’t sell hunting equipment, ATV’s, decoys or “Sam the Talking Fish”. And we don’t treat our owners like an inconvenience when they have a service need. We sell the best boats in the world, and we live by and for the Sea Ray owner.
