The four dealers named to Boating Industry magazine’s elite list of top 100 dealers for 2007 are Erickson Marine, Crystal Pierz Marine, Midwest Mastercraft, Wayzata and Minnetonka Marine. As determined by Boating Industry magazine, the Top 100 list is an annual ranking of dealerships that are unsurpassed in overall business operations, customer service, professionalism, and all the characteristics that go along with them. Managing a dealership to high levels of customer service and high volume sales is no easy task. Simultaneously creating an atmosphere that exceeds high consumer expectations can be even more difficult. For the most professional of dealerships, however, these tasks have not only become second nature, but they are firmly integrated in the business’ day-to-day operations. They understand that St. Paul, Minn.-based Gander Mountain Co., a retail outfit for outdoor lifestyle products and services, acquired Overton’s, a leading Internet and catalog marketing company, from Linsalata Capital Partners, a Cleveland-based private equity firm. The purchase price for the acquisition was about delivering on the promise of the boating lifestyle – not just a boat – is the number one key to success. Area boaters are fortunate to have four such dealers representing such nationally respected brands as Cobalt, Formula, Edgewater, Caravelle, Cruisers Yachts, Glastron, Crestliner, Nautica inflatables, Triton, Bennington, Azure, Centurion, Sugar Sand, Mastercraft, Four Winns, Chris Craft, Tiara, Chaparral, Tige’, Sea Ray, Meridian and Prince Craft. Offer your congratulations the next time you visit one of their stores. ■ $70 million, which included the repayment of Overton’s existing indebtedness at closing. North Carolina-based Overton’s had 2006 revenues over $90 million and distributes more than 15 million catalogs annually. Overton’s will continue to operate under the Overton’s brand. ■ Gander Mountain buys Overton MIDSTATES YACHTS, INC. www.midstatesyachts.com 563-556-0402 • Fax 563-556-1043 Kyle Volkens, Broker 880 Locust St., Suite 125 Dubuque, IA 52001 Captain Pamela Linden, Broker USCG MASTER “If I can operate one of these, I surely think I could get a break on my Auto Insurance.” WE COULDN’T AGREE MORE!
