Otsego, Minn., Aug. 21, 2017 - Crestliner presented Million Dollar Club awards
to 14 dealers at its 2017 dealer meeting, a high-energy event focused on the
company's newest models, marketing initiatives and product innovations.

The Million Dollar Club Award honors dealers whose annual sales of Crestliner
products exceeded $1 million. Many of the award winners went above and beyond
that threshold, surpassing $2 and $3 million. A complete list of winners can be
found at the close of this news release.

"Few things are more gratifying than handing out the Million Dollar Club awards
at our dealer meeting," said Crestliner President Eric Hendrickson. "These
awards are a testament to both our dealers' commitment to the Crestliner brand
and to the company's prominence in the aluminum fishing boat and pontoon
markets."

In addition to the Million Dollar Club awards, Crestliner handed out an
Outstanding New Dealer Award and an all-new Advocacy Award. The Boat Place took
home Outstanding New Dealer honors one year after becoming a Crestliner dealer,
and 30 years into the boat-selling business. Hall's Marine received the
inaugural Award for Advocacy, which recognizes the dealer who makes Crestliner
brand advocacy a priority. This includes maintaining a solid business
partnership with Crestliner, participating in events and promotions, and
offering valuable feedback.

"We were thrilled to hand out an award this year that recognized dealer loyalty,
rather than strictly sales," Hendrickson said. "Being true partners with our
dealers is deeply important to our mission and to the success of the company."

Crestliner's product portfolio has expanded for model year 2018 to include four
new models. The deep-V line-up has added the Bass Hawk bass-fishing boat and the
utility-focused Outreach, and the mod-V line-up now includes the Retriever
Forward Center Console, ideal for shallow waters, and the SC Heavy Duty, great
for catfishing.

"This year's new models represent the company's forward momentum," Hendrickson
said. "I have no doubt these boats will be greatly successful, thanks in large
part to our remarkable dealer network. We look forward to another year in
partnership."
