Legend Marine Group offers Performance Boat School with purchase of select* New Fountain, Formula, & Donzi PowerBoats at the 2008 Dallas Winter Boat Show!

Dallas, Texas February 1st 2008 - "Safety is not an option!" Legend Marine Group and Tres Martins Performance Boat School announced today with the purchase of certain boat models, a certified course at the Tres Martin Performance Boating School is included. Legend Marine is demonstrating tremendous leadership and customer care by including this training. New boat owners will now learn boat type specific skill sets and training to ensure understanding and safe operation of their boats.

Boat school training begins covering the basics of boating safety and related equipment and develops to very specific and detailed instruction. Eleven structured lesson plans provide vital training and information. Topics include rules of the road, boat maintenance as it relates to safety, occupant safety, and a complete explanation of the dynamics of hull design. Time is spent on the specifics of trimming, tabbing, acceleration, deceleration, turning, wave and wake crossing and how to take corrective action in the event of a problem as well as situational awareness and human behavior response. On day two, students get a first hand demonstration of everything they have learned in a real world environment. The students are shown how to operate essential equipment, conduct pre-launch checks, basic maintenance, and potential problem areas. Then each student must properly execute all of the performance fundamentals and complete maneuvers in their boats until they are able to demonstrate proper execution to the satisfaction of the instructors. They must also pass a final written exam and performance trial before receiving certification.

The Tres Martin Performance Boat School is the only skill-based boating school of its kind and is customized to the type of boat owned. Students must demonstrate competence and ability prior to receiving certification. Recognized by insurance companies and manufacturers, the school is fully insured and both Tres and Brad are named on Markel Insurance underwriters warranty policy. "This type of instruction and training is new to recreational boating," says Schoenwald, "We think it is especially important to operators of high-performance boats and are very pleased with the overwhelmingly positive client response not to mention the substantial discounts they receive on their insurance premiums.
