Boat owners can expect the North Drop to be poductive and the summer tournaments and MarlinFest to be operating.

Here in the ABMT office we are busy putting together Vol. #12 of 'ON THE EDGE' which will come out in April. Here's to a successful Miami Intl. Boat Show for all participants!


EVERYONE READS 'ON THE EDGE'

Click on photo to enlargeClick on photo to enlarge 18,000 magazines are printed each year and are distributed (year-round) to marine locations on the mainland from Key West to New Jersey. The magazine is also online (20,000 web viewers) and a link to the online magazine is provided our 6,200 Facebook followers! There are two racks featuring the magazine on the ABMT's 1282 lb. IGFA world record centerpiece in the St. Thomas airport (baggage claim area) and the publication is widely distributed around the island via public racks.

On The Edge is a great advertising buy and the profits of the magazine help to support our marine vocational program.
