Pleasurecraft Marine Engine Company (PCM) was founded in 1975 in Canal Winchester, Ohio, and later relocated to a 140,000-square-foot facility in Little Mountain, South Carolina. Known for unmatched quality, durability, and performance, PCM has been a leader in inboard watersports engines for over 45 years. In 1998, the acquisition of Crusader Engines, a leader in gasoline inboards for the cruiser and sportfishing markets, led to the rebranding of the company as Pleasurecraft Engine Group. Soon after, Levitator Engines transformed the airboating industry, solidifying its market leadership. In 2014, Pleasurecraft Engine Group became part of the Correct Craft family, continuing its legacy of innovation with advanced engine technology for the watersports and airboating industries.

Correct Craft acquires Centurion Boats, a brand known for building high-performance watersports towboats since 1976 from their headquarters in Merced, California. Centurion pioneered the wakesurfing-specific towboat and founded the World Wake Surfing Championships, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in the same year. Renowned for its innovation, Centurion has continued to evolve under Correct Craft’s leadership and culture, delivering the world’s best waves, wakes, and rides. With ambitious designs and inspired craftsmanship, Centurion invites watersports enthusiasts to reimagine their ride like never before.

Correct Craft acquires Bass Cat Boats, a brand founded in 1971 by Ron and Jan Pierce in their two-car garage, inspired by Ron’s passion for the outdoors. Bass Cat quickly rose to prominence in the bass boat industry with innovative designs and high-performance tournament-ready Vee hulls. Over the decades, Bass Cat has built a legacy of innovation, quality, and community, fostering a loyal family of owners. Today, the brand continues to deliver excellence and memorable experiences for future generations, solidifying its place as a trusted leader in the outdoor industry.
Yar-Craft Boats, founded in 1967 by former Thompson Boats General Manager Jack Dallman, has built a legacy of excellence over 50 years, becoming the premier walleye fishing boat brand in the world. Initially known for runabout-style boats in the 1970s, Yar-Craft pivoted in the 1980s to meet the demands of fishermen seeking a boat that could withstand bigger waters and harsher conditions. The result was the iconic “Deep-V” fiberglass fishing hull, known as “The Dry One,” which quickly became recognized by multi-species anglers for its unmatched craftsmanship, durability, and ability to handle the toughest environments. Today, Yar-Craft continues to lead the industry in quality and customer service.
