Default Banana Boat dealer in Wisconsin

It is with great pleasure that I announce that we have decided to move away from our... factory only... sales model and have partnered up with a super boat dealer in Wisconsin.

As you all know, we won't do anything half necked ....and the same hold true with this dealer. Mr. Marine Inc is a Mercury dealer in Fon du Lac Wisconsin, that is co-owned by Mel Riggs and Magnum Mark, well known on the boards here.

Mel is a true legend in the sport, winning many of the real tough offshore races back in the 60's, as a Mercury Marine racing team driver. He worked directly under Carl Kiekhaefer.. He is a master mechanic and super rigger.

Magnum Mark as he is known on the boards here, has been involved in high performance for many years as the owner of many Magnums, Cigarettes and his finally 41 foot Apache. He knows fast boats for sure.

We look forward to buildng many great boats with these guys in the future. Anyone in the Mid West area, Great Lakes area, please stop by the open house of Mr Marine, the second weekend in March and take a look at a real banana boat.

We may be announcing a new 28 foot design soon.

This is an older design we have for the 24 that could also be used for the the 28 footer.
