BY RON BEASLEY

SunDance Marine, with a 20-year history of quality sales and service in the South Florida boating industry, has opened a new dealership in South Miami-Dade.

The new SunDance facility, located at 17600 So. Dixie Highway, is the fifth outlet for the company. The main office, a sales and service marina facility, is located in Ft. Lauderdale, at 1335 SE 16 Street. Another marina operation is located in Jensen Beach, while other sales outlets are located in Pompano and Stuart.

"A lot of the dealers have moved to Broward County over the last 15 years and the manufacturers were in need of a quality dealership in South Dade," said Brian Bolender, manager of the new operation. "Joe Clawges, our owner, just felt there was a need for a SunDancer dealership in this area and so did our manufacturers."

Bolender, who has worked in the marine industry for the last four years after spending 22 years in South Florida real estate, said the new dealership will carry four lines of boats ­ Fountain, Donzi, Robalo and Monterey ­ and span

the market for cruising, fishing, diving and high-performance watercraft. Eventually, he said, he expects to have 40 new boats on display on the two-thirds-acre property, as well as boats taken on trade-in.

"We'll carry boats from 65 to 24 feet on the Fountain line," he said, "while the Donzi line goes from 45 feet to 22 feet, Robalo ranges from 17 feet to 26 feet and the Monterey line is from 18 feet to 32 feet presently.

"The least expensive boat is the 18-foot Edge, a nice little family ski boat, a runaround bay boat made by Monterey," he continued. "And, the 65-foot Fountain is our most expensive boat at about $1.8 million."

Bolender added that the new Sundance operation ultimately will also offer sales, service and parts for Mercury Outboards.

"We are committed to delivering the highest quality marine products and services," he said. "We support our customers before, during and after the sale of one of our boats. We guarantee satisfaction to our customers in the world of pleasure boating."
