From OEMs to Rentals: The Fleet Model Manufacturers Missed Ft. Brian Mazanti - Episode #209

In this episode, the guys sit down with Brian Mazanti of KCBK Group, the podcast’s newest sponsor and a leading expert in the commercial marine space, for a deep dive into what it really takes to build a profitable rental fleet. From the explosive growth of the upcoming port event and the jet ski trailer parking competition giveaway, this episode is packed with opportunities for operators looking to level up. Brian breaks down how KCBK helps rental and boat club businesses source the right pontoons, deck boats, trailers, and financing solutions directly from OEM partners, while avoiding the common mistakes that hurt profitability. The conversation dives into fleet lifecycle strategy, how to price for resale, when to rotate high hour boats, why commercial grade builds matter, and what manufacturers still don’t understand about the rental market. [SPONSORS] - This show is sponsored by KCBK Group, Take My Boat Test and WaveRez.Show Links:Website: https://www.watersportpodcast.comFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/awgpodcastFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1155418904790489Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awg_podcast/
