Vic Porter (and his wife Kris) are the patriarchs of the Porter family, which owns Porter, Inc./Thunderbird Products/Formula. The entire family are incredibly bright and friendly people, but Vic and Kris will make your day every time.

Vic Spellburg is the guy who is now at Cigarette.

Vic and Kris stopped by our store in 1976 on the way back from the 1976 Miami show.They were driving a red 1976 Cadilac Eldorado convertible which they still own today. Classiest folks I ever met,Vic said call him if I wanted to be a dealer,I called him in 1992 and signed up for a nice long happy ride as a dealer .The entire Porter family is such a class act,as are their boats.

I know the family still runs the Company, it's great that they do it with class, had three Formula's and loved them all, they make a great boat, just kept getting bigger ones.
