SAILFISH BOATS BECOMES NMMA CERTIFIED
Manufacturer meets stringent set of requirements to earn "NMMA Certified" designation
CAIRO, June 26, 2006 - Sailfish Boats recently became certified under the National Marine Manufacturers Association's (Boat, Yacht, Boat Trailer, Personal Watercraft) Certification program.
While all boats in the United States must meet U.S. Coast Guard regulations, boats built by manufacturers participating in the NMMA Certified program must also meet the more comprehensive standards set y the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC). Furthermore, to become NMMA Certified, a boat must pass rigorous third-party inspection to ensure that it meets and adheres to all applicable standards.
"Earning the 'NMMA Certified' designation is a major achievement for Sailfish Boats," says Sailfish Boats, president Paul Hoppes. "It demonstrates to our customers we're committed to building a quality product and have the utmost concern for their safety and well being."
The NMMA Certification program covers more than 30 categories of standards, which vary by boat type and size and may include: fuel systems; ventilation; passenger and weight capacity; horsepower capacity; flotation; electrical systems; navigation lights; warning label placement and guidelines; and steering systems.
