Raymarine, Inc., a world renowned leader in marine electronics, today announced Electronics Unlimited was deemed its 2009 Premier Dealer of the Year. A Raymarine dealer for 28 years, Ft. Lauderdale-based Electronics Unlimited was chosen for its outstanding installation and positive promotion of Raymarine's products, namely its SmartPilot X-Series autopilots, ST70 Plus color multifunction instruments, and new E-Series Widescreen Multifunction Display with HybridTouch.

Electronics Unlimited also helped to expand Raymarine's customer base by adding new dealers and builders to its partner network last year. "2009 was a tough year for the entire boating industry, and we're extremely impressed with Electronics Unlimited's perseverance and progress in the face of such challenges," said Larry Rencken, vice president of sales for Raymarine.

"Their expert technical staff extends a superlative level of quality and service that our joint clientele expects. We are very pleased to honor marine electronics with this award, and thank them for their diligent work, support and loyalty." "We're extremely excited to be named this year's premier electronics dealer," said Ron Muller of Electronics Unlimited. "Every year, Raymarine consistently introduces high-quality electronics boasting cutting-edge features that boaters want. Our team and our customers have been very impressed with the new E-Series' HybridTouch screen and redesigned interface. We look forward to future collaboration with the great Raymarine team."

In addition, Raymarine also recognized two other dealers with 2009 Premier Dealers Manager's Choice awards. Bethel Marine Electronics of Florida and Custom Marine Installation of Lindenhurst, NY were honored for excellence in technical support, in store displays and customer satisfaction. Both Bethel and C.M.I. were chosen for aggressively promoting Raymarine products and a commitment to work with Raymarine as collaborative partners.
