Hydra-Sports® Boats has been recognized by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) with its annual Marine Industry CSI award, recognizing excellence in customer satisfaction.

"This award shows that we're as committed to customer service as we are to building quality boats," said Dean Samuelson, president of Hydra-Sports. Headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., Hydra-Sports manufactures composite sportfishing boats ranging from 18 to 33 feet in length. This award applies to the Fiberglass Outboard Boats category.

Hydra-Sports products are distributed through a network of dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in 10 countries worldwide.

Every Hydra-Sports Vector™ series and Bay Bolt™ series model features a Kevlar®-reinforced hull to meet the demands of offshore fishing, and an extra-large fuel capacity to reach prime fishing grounds. Hydra-Sports is among the first U.S. companies to meet the ISO 9001 Standard, documenting compliance with rigid manufacturing and design process guidelines.

The spirit of the CSI Award Program is to elevate the importance of customer satisfaction programs and recognize industry best practices in a positive manner. Winners are not permitted to publicize their individual scores, however an average score of 90 or above for 2004 program year boat models is required to earn this award.

"This recognition is a great honor for us," Samuelson adds. "It reflects our commitment to understanding our customers and providing them with a full-featured boat designed for the way they fish. They take sportfishing seriously and we do, too."
