OTSEGO, Minn., March 14, 2017 - Crestliner received its tenth-straight Customer
Satisfaction Index (CSI) award from the National Marine Manufacturers
Association (NMMA) at the recent Progressive Insurance Miami International Boat
Show. The CSI award honors boat builders whose customer-satisfaction scores are
among the best in the industry. The award announcement comes at an exciting time
for Crestliner, which recently launched several new boat models and a new
pontoon line, and introduced updates across its line-up.

"Customers are at the heart of everything we do, and the CSI award offers timely
affirmation that we're succeeding in keeping them happy," Crestliner President
Eric Hendrickson said. "We look forward to delivering even more with our
exciting 2017 model introductions, and in the years to come."

Crestliner received the 2016 NMMA CSI award in the category of Aluminum Outboard
Boats, with an impressive 91.36 percent satisfaction rating. To receive the
award, companies must achieve and maintain an independently-measured standard of
excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year,
based upon information provided by consumers purchasing a new boat or engine
during the period between Jan. 1, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2016.

"Earning our tenth-straight CSI award means as much to us as our first award
did," Crestliner Customer Service Manager Vince Shimanski said. "Every year our
goal is the same: to make sure our customers are as happy as possible. We
believe that the new models and upgrades we're making for 2017 will continue to
answer customer needs and wants at a high level."
