JV Marine confident for the future
Already established as the largest powerboat outlet in the southern hemisphere, Victorian retailer JV Marine World said it is showing plenty of confidence in the future, with principal John Stav announcing that JV Marine World has added the Four Winns range of bowriders and cruisers to its range.
Not one to do thing by halves, John’s initial order is for 35 boats, says JV Marine. The boats range from 18-32 feet and are due to land in time for the summer.
“Four Winns has been one of the best selling imported boats and at one point was the second most popular US brand imported into Australia before the market started to taper off due to the global financial crisis,” said Paul Benjamin, Pacific Rim regional manager for Four Winns
“We’ve been looking to grow the brand in Victoria and saw JV Marine World and Four Winns as a good fit. Four Winns owners love their boats, they handle beautifully, and they’re finished so well.
“JV Marine World, with sales and service facilities at Braeside and Laverton is perfectly positioned to not only grow the brand but to look after customers after they’ve purchased.”
JV Marine World has been in operation since 1976, and says it has lots of experience when it comes to knowing what its customers want.
“One of the attractions of Four Winns for us is, they are a very well fitted out boat as they come out of the factory, but we’ve upped the specifications even more to suit the Australian market,” said Stav.
“Our customers can purchase a boat as “turnkey”, take it straight off the showroom floor and use it, or we can customise it to their own requirements” he said.
“There are some great models in the Four Winns range including an entry level bowrider, the 180LE with loads of standard features that will come on to the market at around $30K. At that price we expect it to attract customers that were considering a used bowrider.”
JV Marine World is a family business, still owned and operated by founders John and Vicki Stav, together with son Mark and a dedicated team. The company has won numerous awards for excellence, including multiple “Dealer of the Year” awards from some of Australia’s largest boat manufacturers.
