With the likes of Christian Marquez and Michael Hall on board, Angle of Attack Marine owner/founder Chris Richards has established a significant team of ambitious forward-facing players. In April alone, Marquez, Hall and their Angle of Attack teammates represented the South Florida-based DWR/Doug Wright Powerboats distributor, powerboat-concierge, service and storage at the Desert Storm Poker Run, the Florida Powerboat Club Tampa Bay Powerboat Week affair and the final two happenings of the Fort Myers Offshore season.

“With us being ‘new’ or fresh to the powerboat world getting our name out there we feel is important, getting our name and face in front of the boating community seems to be the best way,” Hall explained. “We offer service support at these events as well.”
A winner so far, that strategy has helped fill Angle Of Attack Marine’s concierge client roster with the likes of Ohio’s Joe and Jen Greulich. The couple owns a Nor-Tech 390 Sport center console and has a 42-Eleven model from the Cape Coral, Fla., company under construction.
“We really value our relationship with Angle of Attack,” Joe Greulich said. “Their service level is top=notch and they’re always willing to go above and beyond to give us a great experience.”
