Dear New Boat Owner,
 

Welcome to the Maverick Family!

 

Thank you for choosing a Maverick boat to transport you to 

your  angling  dreams.  We  believe  the  Maverick  17  HPX-V  is the 
best backcountry boat on the market, and we’re sure that you’ll be 
completely  satisfied with the unmatched performance, quality  and 
fishability of your new boat.
 

We  value  your  input,  not  just  at  the  time  of  the  sale,  but 

throughout  the  entire  boat  ownership  period,  and  we’ve  taken 
steps to allow you to share that information. Over the next year or 
so,  you  will  receive  at  least  two  questionnaires  to  fill  out  and 
return.
 

Be sure to visit our website 

www.maverickboats.com

 to find 

information  on  company  events  like  our  Owner’s  Tournaments 
and Corporate Calendar. You’ll find a wealth of information on our 
Forum, where you can ask questions, get answers and join other 
Maverick  owners to discuss  all  applications  of  your  boat.  We’re 
proud to have you as a member of the Maverick family!
 

Tight lines and screaming drags!
D. Scott Deal
