A well-deserved recognition for one of the biggest names in the marine industry.

Mercury Marine has been named one of Forbes America’s Best-In-State Employers for 2026 in Wisconsin, based on feedback from a large independent survey of U.S. employees and broader workplace perception data.

For those of us in performance boating, Mercury is usually associated with what we see and hear on the water: horsepower, engineering, reliability, and constant innovation. But achievements like this are a good reminder that none of that happens without the people behind the product.

From engineering and manufacturing to technology and customer support, Mercury has built a major operation in Wisconsin while continuing to invest in its workforce and the future of marine propulsion.

Great products get most of the attention in this industry. Strong teams are what make them possible.

Congratulations to all my friends at Mercury Marine on the recognition.

Setting the pace for the week ahead.

New week. New opportunities. Whether it’s a project coming together, a boat changing hands, or the next run on the calendar, there’s always something worth pushing forward.

Start strong and keep the momentum going.

Weekends are better at full throttle.

Good weather, open water, and performance boats. Hard to ask for much more.

Enjoy the weekend and make the most of the time on the water.

I’m looking for performance boats for active buyers.

Right now, I’m speaking with buyers searching for late-model performance center consoles, Ci******es, MTIs, and other well-kept high-performance boats. In some cases, the right boat may never need to reach the open market.

If you’ve been considering selling, this could be an opportunity to connect directly with a serious buyer without going through the process of publicly marketing your boat first.

If you own something that fits and would consider selling for the right opportunity, contact me privately with the details.

All conversations are handled discreetly.

More than brokerage. Built around performance boats.

APEX Marine Group was built on real experience with performance boats, not simply buying and selling them. The people behind APEX have spent years owning, running, maintaining, evaluating, and working directly with the boats and systems we advise clients on today.

That experience now extends across the ownership cycle. We help clients buy and sell performance boats and sport yachts, while also providing access to experienced professionals for engine builds and rebuilds, performance upgrades, rigging, mechanical work, custom upholstery, fiberglass, gelcoat, paint, and ongoing care.

Through relationships with specialists in muscle marine engines and experienced craftsmen from the Northeast and Midwest, we’re building a network around one standard: work done properly by people who understand performance boats.

Whether you’re looking for your next boat, preparing to sell, or need the right team to take care of the one you already own, start with APEX.

Reach out and tell us what you need.

Start the week with momentum.

Another week means another opportunity to make progress. Get the work done, make the right adjustments, and keep moving toward what’s next.

Whether it’s a new build, the next purchase, a sale, or getting your current boat dialed in, progress comes from getting the details right.

Have a strong week.

Dialing it in!

Beautiful day to get the Cigarette Top Gun back on the water and continue dialing in the new 540s ahead of the upcoming Poker Runs.

This is where the details matter. Fine-tuning the setup, getting everything working together, and making sure the boat is ready to perform when it counts.

More seat time. More data. Getting closer with every run.

It’s all in the details.

Performance boat service goes well beyond what’s under the hatch. From custom upholstery and Muscle Marine engines to rebuilds, gelcoat, fiberglass, and paint, the quality of the finished boat depends on the quality of the people doing the work.

We’re bringing experienced talent from the Northern states to serve performance boat owners who expect the job to be done properly, fairly, and with attention to detail.

That’s what our signature service is built around. Skilled craftsmanship, proven experience, and relationships earned one project at a time.

Have a boat that needs mechanical, cosmetic, or performance work? Reach out today, we are here to support you!

Engines fired up, the crew onboard, and a full day ahead chasing speed, open water, and a healthy dose of adrenaline. Because the boat matters, but the people you share these days with are what make them memorable.

Tag the friends you'd want riding alongside you for a full day on the water!
