FINALLY, IT’S TIME!!

The weather has 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. Are You?

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.

Looks like my early prediction of a very solid 2026 season appears to be dead on. The CNY Boat Show in February was GREAT, lots of interest and lots of sales. Without a doubt the best show we have had in a number of years. Calls for getting your boats out of storage have been heavy to say the least, and most of you have remembered to schedule your Out of Storage requests early. Thank You!! As always, some call us late wanting their boat “this week” and then “can’t believe” we are fully booked and cant accommodate. I know I sound mean, but when the schedule is full the schedule is full.

Back to Boat Sales, as I’ve already said, sales are definitely up from previous years and for several good reasons. Boat prices have stabilized and in many cases gone down, plus 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. Together they add up to a HUGE savings in your monthly payment. 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 the 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 always new and preowned boats coming in that aren’t on the website 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 if you need anything just reach out. Summer is short so make the most of it.    Thanks,  Bill
