FINALLY, IT’S TIME!!

It’s been a struggle this year (WET AND COLD), but real Boating Weather is nearly here. The weather man (who is NEVER wrong) says summer temperatures are right around the corner and we are ready.

Here at the Marina things are crazy busy, over 700 boats to get ready for summer, sales of new and preowned boats are on fire, and the service department is humming.

Looking forward, my prediction of a very solid 2026 season were dead on. The CNY Boat Show in February was GREAT, with lots of interest and lots of sales, absolutely the best show we have had in a number of years. Follow up sales from the show are brisk and it seems like the Marina is well ahead of schedule this year. Calls for getting your boats out of storage have been heavy to say the least and most of you folks remembered to schedule their Out of Storage requests early. Thank You!! As always, some of you call us in May wanting your boat “next week” and then “can’t believe” we are fully booked. I know I sound mean but when the schedule is full it’s full.

Back to Boat Sales, as I’ve already said, sales are definitely up from previous years for lots of reasons. Boat prices have stabilized and in many cases gone down, interest rates have become much more reasonable with rates in the 5-6% range common rather than the 8-9% we were at last year, a HUGE savings. My new boat inventory is good but beginning to have a few holes on the more popular models, so if you are thinking this may be the year, don’t procrastinate. Our preowned inventory is strong as well, so check out our website to see if we have one that’s right for you. Keep in mind that if you don’t see the “right” new or preowned boat on the site, just give us a call. There are a number of both new and preowned boats coming in that aren’t here yet. I don’t add boats to the website until they are here as it creates confusion, so just call us and we will let you know what’s on the way.

Enough for now, but as always, even though we are officially closed we are around and if you need something just give us a call.  

Again Thanks,   Bill
