IT’S ALMOST TIME!

THE SNOW IS GONE, THE ICE IS OFF THE LAKES AND IT’S ALMOST TIME. HORRAY!!! Here at the Marina things are definitely picking up and we are officially opening this year on Monday April 6.

The Boat Show was GREAT with lots of interest and lots of sales, absolutely the best show we have had in a number of years, Thanks to All of You. Looking forward, I was predicting a very solid 2026 season and it appears I hit this one on the head. The calls for getting your boats out of storage have been heavy, follow up sales from the show are brisk and it seems like the Marina is well ahead of schedule this year. I always remind folks to schedule their Out of Storage requests early and this year many of you have taken it to heart with much of May’s availability already gone. As always, I’m reminding you to get your date set ASAP unless you want to be disappointed. Every year some of you call us wanting your boat “next week” and then “can’t believe” we are fully booked. Don’t be that guy!!! 

Back to Boat Sales, a subject I love to discuss (I know BIG SURPRISE), 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 and interest rates have become much more reasonable with some folks getting rates in the 5-6% range rather than the 8’s we were at last year. 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
