LAKE FOREST, Ill. Dec. 12, 2016 -- To sharpen visibility to the market and
create clearer accountability to drive business performance and deliver growth,
the Brunswick Boat Group today announced it has realigned the management
structure at its Recreational Boat Group, which manufactures and markets
Bayliner and Sea Ray boats.


As part of this realignment, Tim Schiek and Scott Kent are leaving the Company
to pursue other interests.  Respectively, they had served as president -
Recreational Boat Group, and chief financial officer - Recreational Boat Group.
Neither of these positions will be replaced.  While Schiek is leaving
immediately, Kent will remain in a transition role reporting to Brunswick Boat
Group President Huw Bower.

To further reinforce the category structure introduced earlier this year, Brad
Anderson and Scott Ward will report to Bower, and are appointed president and
general manager - Sea Ray Sport Boat and Cruisers and president and general
manager - Sea Ray Sport Yachts and Yachts, respectively.  "Brad and Scott will
continue to operate following their current charters: to continue to build upon
momentum in the sport boat and cruiser categories, and to improve performance in
our yacht business," Bower said.

 "The caliber and leadership of this team are well known and the individuals
highly regarded in the industry," Bower said.  "With thanks and gratitude to
both Tim and Scott for their years of service and leadership, the Recreational
Boat Group is prepared to move forward to meet the challenges and opportunities
ahead."

The new structure, according to Bower, will "deliver sharper focus on the
performance of these core brands, drive efficiency across the Recreational Boat
Group and further emphasize growth drivers within the Boat Group's portfolio of
16 brands."
