Eight Innovation Awards and two Honorable Mentions were presented today in the following categories:

Consumer Electronics, Mobile Applications and Software

Dragonfly by Raymarine: Raymarine’s affordable high-performance Dragonfly Sonar/GPS makes the power and crisp detail of CHIRP sonar available to inland and coastal saltwater anglers. “In a short period of time, Raymarine has not only brought high dollar fishing power to low dollar budgets, but has enhanced the capabilities,” said Rudow.

Honorable Mention: B & G SailSteer and SailTime by Navico

Mechanical & Electrical Systems

50 amp Inlet & Connector by SmartPlug Systems: SmartPlug Systems’ 50 amp inlet and connector offers increased pin and connector clip contact area—maximizing electrical transfer while eliminating excessive heat. “The SmartPlug solves a longstanding problem which, over the years, has caused numerous fires and cost millions of dollars in damages,” noted Doane. “They have demonstrated great persistence in overcoming regulatory hurdles and industry intransigence.”

Personal Gear, Soft Goods, Watersports and Fishing Equipment

Locking Pickup Truck Rod Rack by Boat Outfitters: The first locking, removable rod rack for use in pickups is a unique stainless cable system which allows safe, theft-free transportation of the expensive rod and reel combos. Rudow added, “The Rod Rack solves an age-old problem all anglers face: broken or stolen rods in transit. If you own a pickup truck a boat and fishing rods, you’ll want one.”

Pontoon and Deck Boats

Crowne 250 by Harris FloteBote: Harris FloteBote combines a comprehensive and innovative list of features and amenities in the Crowne 250, including a specially-designed Sport Arch. Key said, “The Crowne 250 is an elegant pontoon with real feng shui that’s so comfortable, you’ll want to drive it into your living room.”

Power Boats (25′ to 60′ including Fishing Craft)

370 Venture by Sea Ray: The Sea Ray 370 Venture uniquely incorporates patent-pending outboard engine technology in a fiberglass express cruiser powered by fully-concealed outboard engines. “Finally, we have another option when it comes to powering a mid-sized cruiser: a pair of hidden four-stroke outboards that increases interior volume and creates a luxurious master cabin,” said Wendt.

Honorable Mention: 325 Center Console by Belzona

Propulsion Inboard and Outboard

Deep Blue by Torqeedo: Deep Blue is the world’s first industrially produced 80 HP electric outboard powered by batteries adapted specifically for the marine environment. “This is a fully engineered system from the propeller all the way to the batteries,” noted Calder.

PWC and Jet Boats

Yamaha 192 Series with Thurst Directional Enhancer by Yamaha WaterCraft: Yamaha 192 Series boats feature a single supercharged engine—an innovative yet inexpensive solution to maximize control and maneuverability. Doane added, “The TDE system is an effective and low-cost innovation that enhances low speed maneuverability for jet boats.”

Runabouts and Fishing Craft to 24 Feet

230 Vantage by Boston Whaler: The 230 Vantage seamlessly blends comfort, versatility and handling in one remarkable dual console model. Noted Wood, “The 230 showed amazing versatility in a small space defined by innovative seating and quality execution.”
