Québec's Groupe Performance Marine, Inc. is Baja Marine's Number One Dealer for Model Year 2007

BUCYRUS, Ohio (Oct. 9, 2007) - Leading performance boat manufacturer Baja Marine recognized its top dealers in sales, customer service and those with outstanding achievements for the 2007 model year at its recent dealer meeting. Groupe Performance Marine, Inc. (formerly Groupe Iberville Performance Marine) in Île Perrot, Québec, is Baja Marine's No. 1 dealer in sales this year. This is the first year a Canadian dealer has earned the top sales award in the Baja dealer network.

"We commend Groupe Performance Marine on their achievement," said Dave Olson, president of Baja Marine. "Groupe Performance embodies the full-throttle lifestyle, from the exemplary service they provide customers to the numerous events they organize. This award is a testament to both their strength and Baja Marine's growing presence in the international market."

Groupe Performance Marine has been the official Baja dealer for Québec for more than 20 years. It boasts four locations and is the largest sport and family boat dealer in the province. Spacious showrooms, an extensive inventory of Baja models, knowledgeable service departments and winter storage are only some of the amenities Groupe Performance Marine offers. The dealer also schedules events throughout the year, including poker runs and demo days.

"We are proud to be ranked No. 1 in the world in sales for Baja and to be the first dealership outside of the United States to have earned that honorable title," said Pierre Lefebvre, president of Groupe Performance Marine, Inc. "We would also like to thank Baja Marine for offering their dealers such great marketing support."

According to Lefebvre, Baja's combination of form and function makes it one of Groupe Performance Marine's top-selling brands. "We feel Bajas have always been best-selling boats, especially in this region, because of their roomy cabins and cockpits, their lively, colorful appearance and great value," said Lefebvre.

"Groupe Performance Marine has raised the bar for both domestic and international Baja dealers," said Olson. "We appreciate all their efforts and look forward to their continued success."
