Minneapolis, Minn.

M & P placed 4th overall and #1 in Canada. This marks M & P Mercury’s 17th consecutive year named to the Top 100.
The recreational boating industry’s elite members celebrated the launch of the reimagined Boating Industry Top 100 Awards during a black-tie gala on Nov. 16, 2022 on the final evening of the Boating Industry ELEVATE SUMMIT in Orlando, Fla.
Entering the 18th year of the Top 100 in 2022, the program now honors the best of the best across the entire boating industry, celebrating the 40 Under 40, Women Making Waves and the Top Dealers across North America.
As a continuation of the original roots of the Top 100 program, Boating Industry honored the 2022 Top Dealers during the Top 100 Awards celebration.
“This year’s Top Dealers program brought on a stack of new applicants and new competition to the program along with very strong returns from multi-year winners. And we’re very excited to highlight the accomplishments of all, as new dealers join the ranks and others join forces to become one,” Boating Industry editor-in-chief and Top 100 program director Adam Quandt said.
“We are truly honored to be recognized once again among the best-of-the-best Boat Dealers in North America,” said M & P President Bob Pappajohn. “Our dedication to internal culture, creating personally meaningful experiences for our clients, thinking locally and globally, and constantly seeking innovation both within and beyond our Industry is what has sustained us and what continues to propel our growth. This has allowed our team the continued opportunity to share their passion for boating through truly exceptional service and an incredible range of world-recognized boats.”

The list recognizes dealerships that are unsurpassed in business operations, professionalism, marketing tactics, customer service and more. The Boating Industry Top 100 has recognized the top dealers in North America every year since 2005.
“We would like to thank our manufacturers for their continued support” said Pappajohn, “And, most importantly, thank our loyal customers who continue to give us the opportunity to make the West Coast boating lifestyle the most rewarding, fulfilling and memorable experience possible.
