Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 1, 2011, MarineMax, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") entered into an amendment to our Inventory Financing Agreement (the "Credit Facility"), originally entered into on June 24, 2010 with GE Commercial Distribution Finance Company ("GECDF"), as amended on December 17, 2010.

The amendment, among other things, modifies the amount of borrowing availability, interest rate, and maturity date of the Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of $150 million, up from the previous $100 million. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the amended Credit Facility is 383 basis points above the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate. There is an unused line fee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the amended Credit Facility. The amended Credit Facility matures in June 2014, subject to extension for two one-year periods, with the approval of GECDF.

Borrowings under the amended Credit Facility will be secured primarily by the Company’s inventory that is financed through the amended Credit Facility and related accounts receivable. The Company’s real estate is not pledged.

MARINEMAX INCREASES FINANCING CAPACITY
~Increases Facility To $150 Million and Extends Term~

CLEARWATER, FL – June 2, 2011 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, announced today that it has increased its existing financing facility with GE Capital, from $100 million to $150 million.

The increased facility provides for up to $150 million of floor plan financing. The facility has a three- year term, now expiring in June 2014, and it has two, one-year options to renew, subject to lender approval. Borrowings under the facility will be secured primarily by the Company’s inventory that is financed through the facility and related accounts receivable. The Company’s real estate is not pledged. The Company must maintain compliance with various covenants, including the balance sheet related covenants of a current ratio and a leverage ratio, as defined in the facility. No significant other changes were made to the existing facility. The facility contemplates that other lenders may be added by the Company to finance other inventory not financed under this facility, if needed.

Michael H. McLamb, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of MarineMax stated, “We are pleased to be able to strengthen our financial flexibility by adding the additional borrowing capacity. Based on our two most recent quarters, we have seen an increase in new boat sales and this expansion of our credit facility better positions us for growth as the industry recovers. The increase also further strengthens our ability to capitalize on other growth opportunities that may arise.”
