WASHINGTON, Mo., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Challenger Powerboats, Inc. ("Challenger") (OTC:CPBI) (BULLETIN BOARD: CPBI) , a manufacturer of powerboats, tow boats and water-jet powered sport boats, announced that it shipped a record 38 boats for the month of January. Challenger Powerboats CEO Laurie Phillips stated, "Despite the current slower pace of growth within the industry, we are experiencing record demand, production, and shipments for all three lines, Sugar Sand, Gekko and Challenger. We believe this is a testament to the quality of our product offering as well as our aggressive marketing and sales strategy. This all comes without any penetration whatsoever yet into Florida, the number one recreational boating market in the U.S. We have recently embarked on a strategy to establish premier distribution channels within the Florida marketplace, and which we believe should add significantly to our current growth."
