1.  INTRODUCTION -

         The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
    Genmar Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the Rules
    and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information
    furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes
    normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the
    opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
    statements.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
    in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
    and regulations.  Although the Company believes the disclosures are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested
    that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
    conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
    included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
    December 31, 1995.

         Revenues and operating results for the nine months ended September 30,
    1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
    full year.

2.  INVENTORIES -

         Inventories, which are valued at the lower of first-in first-out
    (FIFO) costs or market, consisted of the following (in thousands):

3.  SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES -

         The Company's payment obligations with respect to its 13-1/2% Series A
    Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2001 (the "Notes") and its borrowings under
    its bank credit facility (the "Credit Facility") are secured by
    substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and are
    guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's subsidiaries ("Subsidiary
    Guarantors").

         At September 30, 1996, the aggregate combined net assets, net
    revenues, earnings and equity of the Subsidiary Guarantors were
    substantially equivalent to the net assets, net revenues, earnings and
    equity of the Company, except for certain obligations and operating,
    interest and other expenses pertaining to non-guarantor entities.  Each of
    the Subsidiary Guarantors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
    Management believes that separate financial statements of the Subsidiary
    Guarantors are inconsequential to investors and such financial statements
    are not included herein.


4.  CONTINGENCIES -

    Dealer Inventory Floor Plan Financing:

         The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to dealer inventory floor
    plan financing arrangements with certain financial institutions pursuant to
    which each may be required, in the event of default by a financed dealer,
    to repurchase products previously sold to such dealer.  The Company
    repurchased $1.6 million and $1.9 million of such dealer inventory in the
    nine month periods ended September  30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As of
    September 30, 1996, the Company was contingently liable under such
    arrangements to repurchase inventory in the aggregate maximum amount of
    $23.5 million.

         During 1995, the Company entered into agreements with financial
    institutions to transfer limited floor plan financing for certain dealers
    and to provide floor plan financing for certain other dealers.  Pursuant to
    the agreements, the Company is contingently liable for repurchase of
    inventory and has recourse liability in the event of dealer default.  As of
    September 30, 1996, the Company was contingently liable under these
    agreements for repurchase and recourse in the aggregate maximum amounts of
    $19.2 million and $17.2 million, respectively.  The Company repurchased
    $0.3 million of dealer inventory but did not incur any recourse losses
    under these agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

         The Company generally has not provided reserves, other than immaterial
    reserves at certain subsidiaries, for losses and costs which may result
    should the Company be required to repurchase product from a defaulting
    dealer.  Although the ultimate loss which might be incurred as a result of
    such contractual obligation is uncertain, the Company believes any such
    losses that may be incurred would not have a material effect on its
    consolidated operating results or financial position.

                                      UNAUDITED


4.  CONTINGENCIES - (CONTINUED)

    Legal and Environmental:

         The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in legal proceedings
    arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these
    matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management and outside
    counsel, disposition of these proceedings will not have a material effect
    on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
    Where appropriate, the Company has established reserves in response to
    these matters.

    Divested Businesses:

         In connection with certain previously divested businesses, the Company
    retained certain obligations and remains contingently liable under limited
    indemnities related to such matters as taxes, insurance, litigation and
    post retirement medical benefits.  Cash expenditures for such obligations
    are expected to be payable over an extended period of time.  Where
    appropriate, the Company has established reserves in response to these
    matters.

         The Company also incurs costs from time to time for environmental
    claims relating to certain previously divested businesses.  The Company
    anticipates total environmental-related costs associated with these
    divested businesses to range from approximately $6 million to $10 million,
    which include Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
    Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), type liabilities, and which costs are
    likely to be incurred over the next 8 to 12 years.  With respect to these
    potential liabilities, the Company has been identified as a potential
    responsible party at approximately 10 sites.  Based on currently available
    information, the Company believes adequate reserves have been provided to
    cover such potential costs as of September 30, 1996.

    Letters of Credit:

         The Company and its subsidiaries have insurance for workers'
    compensation, health, general and auto liability losses in excess of
    predetermined loss limits.  Provision has been made in the consolidated
    financial statements for estimated losses resulting from claims incurred
    prior to the balance sheet date, which were below the amounts of the
    predetermined loss limits.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had
    outstanding letters of credit aggregating approximately $25.1 million.
    Approximately $17.7 million of such letters of credit secure insurance
    programs; the remainder principally relate to dealer floor plan financing
    arrangements with certain financial institutions and to liabilities
    retained by the Company in connection with certain divested businesses.

</TABLE>

    Consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$444.4 million, an increase of 10.3% as compared to net revenues of $403.1
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase in net
revenues was primarily a reflection of strengthened wholesale demand for the
Company's fiberglass recreational powerboat products.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, unit retail deliveries of the Company's products, as
compared to the same period during 1995, were significantly improved for
recreational power boat product and down for both motor yacht and fishboat
product, but overall, approximately equal in total.  The Company's backlog of
orders at September 30, 1996 was down slightly from backlog as of September 30,
1995.

    Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
were $140.6 million, an increase of 12.0% as compared to net revenues of
$125.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase in
net revenues reflects improved wholesale demand across all of the Company's
product segments, but particularly in the fishboat and fiberglass recreational
powerboat segments.

                   ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                                     (CONTINUED)


    Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $58.6 million
(13.2% of net revenues) as compared to $52.6 million (13.0% of net revenues) for
the same period during 1995.  This increase in gross profit as a percentage of
net revenues was primarily attributable to an improvement in gross margins
realized on motor yacht and recreational powerboat product sales, offset by a
change in the mix of sales away from fishboat products which generally produce
higher gross margins.

    Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $17.9
million (12.7% of net revenues) as compared to $13.1 million (10.4% of net
revenues) for the same period during 1995.  This increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net revenues was attributable to an improvement in gross margins
realized across all product segments, but particularly on recreational powerboat
product sales.

    Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 totaled $45.5 million (10.2% of net revenues) as compared to $48.5 million
(12.0% of net revenues) for the same period during 1995.  The decrease in
spending as a percentage of net revenues was a reflection of various cost
reduction initiatives implemented throughout the Company.

    Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended September
30, 1996, totaled $15.7 million (11.1% of net revenues) as compared to $16.0
million (12.7% of net revenues) for the same period during 1995.  This spending
decrease reflects the same factors discussed above.

    The Company's operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $13.1 million (3.0% of net revenues) as compared to operating profit of $4.1
million (1.0% of net revenues) for the same period during 1995.  Operating
profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $2.2 million (1.6% of
net revenues) as compared to an operating loss of $2.9 million for the same
period during 1995.  The improvement in operating profit for both periods was
attributable to the factors discussed above.

    Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $16.7
million as compared to $18.2 million for the same period during 1995.  Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $5.5 million as
compared to $5.7 million for the same period during 1995.  In both comparisons,
the reduction in interest expense resulted primarily from a decrease in
borrowings outstanding between the two periods.

    Investment and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
totaled $0.3 million as compared to $15.7 million for the same period during
1995.  Investment and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
totaled $0.1 million as compared to $4.8 million for the same period during
1995.  Investment and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
consisted principally of interest earned on short-term investments, notes and
other receivables.  Investment and other income for the same period during 1995
consisted principally of gains on sales of and dividend income related to the
Company's investment in shares of Amway Japan Limited, the sale of beneficial
interest in a litigation trust, a gain on the settlement of a foreign currency
hedge and interest earned on short-term investments, notes and other
receivables.

                   ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                                     (CONTINUED)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At September 30, 1996, capacity under the Company's bank credit facility,
as amended and restated ("Credit Facility"), totaled $60.0 million, consisting
of a $29.2 million revolving credit facility and a $30.8 million letter of
credit facility.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had $36.4 million
outstanding under the Credit Facility, with $18.0 million of availability under
the revolving credit facility.

    The Credit Facility, as amended and restated, and the indenture (the
"Indenture") governing the Company's 13-1/2% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes
Due 2001 (the "Notes") contain restrictive covenants which, among other matters,
limit the ability of the Company to incur other indebtedness, engage in
transactions with affiliates, incur liens, make certain restricted payments, and
enter into certain business combination and asset sale transactions.  The Credit
Facility also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial tests and ratios
and restricts capital expenditures.  In addition, the Credit Facility contains
provisions which may require accelerated repayment of the Credit Facility and/or
limit the Company's access to the facility upon the incurrence of specific
obligations or significant changes in the financial condition, business,
properties, prospects or operations of the Company.  As of September 30, 1996,
the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants under the
Indenture and the Credit Facility.

    At September 30, 1996, the Company had $60.7 million of working capital, a
decrease of $14.5 million from December 31, 1995.  This reduction in working
capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 contributed to the
Company's ability to fund net repayments totaling $17.0 million under the
revolving credit facility.  Net cash used in operating activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $2.4 million, as compared to net cash
used of $15.4 million for the same period during 1995.  The net cash use for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 was comprised of a $7.2 million use
resulting from changes in working capital items, payments of noncurrent
liabilities and other items, offset by $4.8 million provided by operations, net
of non-cash charges.

    Capital expenditures of the Company for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 totaled $2.3 million.  Proceeds from sales of property and equipment for
the same period during 1996 totaled $4.2 million.  Included in this total were
proceeds of approximately $3.8 million from the sale of certain land, buildings
and equipment formerly used to operate the Company's retail marine dealership
located near Minneapolis, Minnesota.  No gain or loss was recognized in
connection with this sale.

    The Company will require substantial cash flow to meet its interest and
principal obligations under the Indenture and the Credit Facility, and in
meeting the working capital and capital expenditure requirements of its
operations.  The Company believes that current cash balances, borrowings under
the Credit Facility, cash flow generated from operations and proceeds from the
sales of certain assets will provide sufficient liquidity to fund its cash
operating expenses and capital expenditures and meet its interest and principal
obligations until the Credit Facility and Notes become due.  However, the
Company's ability to meet its debt service and other obligations depends on its
future performance, which, in turn, is subject to general economic conditions
and to financial performance, business and other factors, including factors
beyond the Company's control.  If the Company is unable to generate sufficient
cash flows from operations or otherwise to comply with the terms of the Credit
Facility or the Indenture, it may be required to refinance all or a portion of
its existing debt or obtain additional financing, although there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such refinancing or additional
financing.

               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                                     (CONTINUED)


    The Company is in the process of evaluating and pursuing, as appropriate,
various strategic alternatives relative to strengthening the Company's financial
position, including the potential sales of non-operating assets and possible
joint venture considerations.  The Company continuously evaluates its existing
operations and investigates possible acquisitions to expand its business in
order to maximize profits and increase its share of the motorized pleasure boat
market.  Accordingly, while the Company does not have any material arrangement,
commitment or understanding with respect thereto, further acquisitions,
investments and changes in operations are possible.
