After three decades, Tom & Bill decided it was time to pass on the torch. In 2007, they sold the boat sales to a Memphis business man, who is also an avid Pickwick Lake boater- and Cobalt Boat owner. In 2008, the service side of the business as well as the property at the current location was purchased. Ron Martin was then hired as General Manager to head the operation.
In 2009, Marine Sales of Pickwick added Sea Ray Boats and Meridian Yachts to their offering. A new sales location was set up at Aqua Yacht Harbor on C Dock. Cobalt Boats, Sea Ray Boats and Meridian Yachts are now on display in the water waiting for a test drive. More changes are lined up including remodeling the showroom and adding extra storage facilities.
Today, Marine Sales continues to be a full service dealership servicing Volvo, Yamaha, MerCruiser, and OMC. The parts department and ship store is the largest in the region stocking anything that boaters need to stay on the water and safe!
