Norfolk, VA, October 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Marine Web Services, the leader in boat dealer website solutions, has been selected to provide website services for the marine industry’s premier Certified Pre-Owned Program. Hunter Sailboats, the leading producer of high quality sailboats and host-company of the program, selected Marine Web Services based on their reputation of quality and outstanding service in the marine industry. As the sole website solution partner, Marine Web Services will provide Hunter Sailboat dealers an end-to-end solution as they initiate their much anticipated CPO program.

“We believe that our Certified Pre-Owned program will be a pace setter for the marine industry,” said Eric Macklin, Marketing and Training Manager for Hunter Marine Corporation. “That being so, we assembled what we felt was the best in each area of our program to ensure the continued quality of the Hunter brand.

As a component of their end-to-end solution, Marine Web Services will provide each participating Hunter dealer with a CPO exclusive platform to market their Certified Pre Owned Sailboats. In this CPO environment, consumers will be able to browse video tours, get detailed history about the vessels, and view the latest Hunter fleet. Consumers will also have the ability to create side-by-side comparisons of new high quality Hunter Sailboats, request quotes, print brochures and contact dealers directly. Lead tracking and management will round out the dealer package. Participating dealers will also have many other features available for add-on, such as the option to push CPO listings to popular online classifieds including BoatTrader, boats.com and more.
