October 31 2024 - 11:13AM
Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WGO), a leading outdoor lifestyle
product manufacturer, is proud to showcase the latest innovation
from its marine brands, Barletta Pontoon Boats and Chris-Craft at
the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in Fort
Lauderdale, FL, October 30 – November 3.
Barletta, the fastest-growing pontoon boat maker in
the segment, will feature a line-up of Coastal Edition premium
pontoons, ready for big water, including the industry’s first and
only center-mounted twin-engine pontoon boat, while
Chris-Craft, America’s Boatbuilder since 1874, will
showcase its latest innovations including the consumer debut of its
Launch 35 GT wake/surf edition and newly launched, family-friendly
Sportster series.
“At Winnebago Industries, our commitment to quality and
elevating outdoor experiences drives everything we do,” said Amber
Holm, Winnebago Industries’ Chief Marketing Officer. “The products
on display in Fort Lauderdale represent both Chris-Craft’s and
Barletta’s customer-centric design process. Our brands combine
expert craftsmanship and technology in ways that delight our
customers as they create connections and memories on the
water.”
Chris-CraftChris-Craft is building on its
150-year legacy of purposeful innovation and excellence with
several key products highlighted at the show, including the
Sportster series: an exciting, next-generation offering that
combines classic craftsmanship and design with modern flair to
create a new experience for adventure seekers and water sports
enthusiasts.
While the Sportster series is designed to introduce Chris-Craft
to a new market, the boats are built to all the same quality and
design standards for which Chris-Craft is known. Every step of the
design process was carefully considered to deliver value without
sacrificing premium quality and luxury. The Sportster series
currently includes two models, a 25ft and 28ft, with the 28ft
version on display in the water at the show. The Sportster series
will be available in sterndrive, surf, and outboard propulsion
options, with the outboard versions being released in early
2025.
Chris-Craft will also feature the surf edition of its Launch 35
GT runabout. The flagship of its series, the Launch 35 GT blends
cutting-edge features with the classic design and styling that make
it uniquely Chris-Craft. This luxurious runabout is the perfect
choice for a variety of water activities, including hosting family
and friends or water sports.
Chris-Craft’s category defining line-up can be seen in the water
at the show by visiting the Bahia Mar Yachting center, C-Dock
315-319. Learn more at ChrisCraft.com.
Barletta Pontoon BoatsBarletta, one of the
fastest growing pontoon boat brands in the market, is widely
recognized for its pioneering products, securing innovation awards
from the National Marine Manufacturers Association, three out of
the last six years.
At the Fort Lauderdale show, Barletta will showcase one of those
award winners, its new twin engine series. The two engines are
mounted in the center of the transom, a meaningful departure from
the industry standard in the pontoon boat segment, where twin
engines are typically mounted on the outer tubes. By moving the
engines to the center, Barletta achieves significant performance
and functionality improvements, including providing an unparalleled
smooth and powerful ride, while creating a safe and usable space at
the stern of the boat.
Barletta will also highlight its luxury Leggera product line
with an all-new redesigned helm station equipped with two Simrad
displays, Harmon Kardon audio system and distinctive RBG
lighting.
Show attendees are encouraged to visit the Barletta team by
visiting booth 2069 in the Broward Convention Center where they can
see Barletta’s line-up of coastal water capable pontoons, now with
standard JBL sound systems for model year 2025. Learn more
