Scuttlebutt Magazine - May 2008 - (Page 6) Page 6 • May 2008 www.scuttlebutt.com Marinas International undergoes major expansion in three states Marinas International, a marina operator and management company, has acquired Eagle Cove and Holly Creek Marinas in Tennessee, Great Lakes Marina in Michigan and the 650-slip Marina and Resort, Brady Mountain in Hot Springs, Ark. This gives the company a total of 22 marina locations with about 12,000 customers, and its managing partners are continuing to look for new acquisitions. “These acquisitions will enable us to develop direct and long-term relationships with our boating members in each of these regions,” said Marshall Funk, CEO, and Stan Johnson, president, Marinas International, both of which are also managing partners in the company. The company suggested its efforts to provide water access and houseboat rental programs are examples of how “Marinas International is thinking innovatively about how to bring better boating experiences to our members.” “Through our Houseboat Rental division, ‘Waterway Adventures,’ we provide quality houseboat vacations for the entire family on some of the most pristine and best boating lakes in America,” stated Bob Faflik, also a partner in Marinas International. “Continuing to expand in the mid-South will solidify our position as one of the most experienced marina operators in America geared towards providing excellent customer service and redefining lifestyle choices for visitors, vacationers and residents of the mid-South,” said Gregg Kenney, managing partner. “Our acquisitions are about excitement, energy and the vision to provide the ‘preferred recreational experience, at, on or near the water.’ ” Doral Boats looking for buyer Boatbuilder Doral Boats International recently confirmed to Boating Industry that the company’s current owner, Erwin Zecha, is seeking buyers. At least one Canadian company has shown interest in the company, said Sandra Vigneux, Doral’s marketing coordinator. There has been a strong push to keep the business in the community, Vigneux said. “We want to save those 225 jobs,” Vigneux said. “The chamber and city want us to stay and they’re on our side.” Until any further word, the company and its employees will continue producing boats for its customers. “As of now, its business as usual,” Vigneux said. 42’ 1986 CARVER AFT CABIN 4207 44’ 1979 TROJAN F-44 FB 55’ 2005 SEA RAY SEDAN BRIDGE 43’ 1985 PEARSON 53’ 2000 CARVER VOYAGER 29’ 1990 REGAL 290 COMMODORE 34’ 1996 FORMULA PC 38’ 1965 CHRIS COMMANDER 60’ 1992 BLUEWATER COCKPIT 41’ 2002 SEA RAY 410 DA MOTORYACHTS • CRUISERS • TRAWLERS 30’ 1989 WELLCRAFT MONACO 27’ 1997 SEA RAY SUNDANCER 38’ 1999 FORMULA FASTECH 382 62’ 1996 Bluewater 62, T-600D, 3 S/R, A/C, gen, radar, A/P, loaded! . . . . . . . . .$ 369,000 61’ 1981 Hatteras MY, T-475D, A/C, gen, A/P, 4 S/R, gally, UP, Dinghy . . . . . . . .$ 349,000 60’ 1992 Bluewater 60 Cockpit, T-400D, A/C, gen, wash/dry, radar, A/P . . . . . . .$ 259,900 57’ 1969 Chris Constellation, T-8V71N, hardtop, encl. head, 3 S/R, VHF, A/P . .$ 129,900 55’ 2005 Sea Ray 55 Sedan Bridge, T-900D, A/C, gen, A/P, radar, Pltr . . . . . . . .$ 950,000 53’ 2000 Carver Voyager, T-610D, A/C, gen, A/P, radar, all the extras . . . . . . . . .$ 499,900 51’ 1984 Bluewater Coastal, T-350, 3 S/R , A/C, gen, depth finder, Low Hours! .$ 99,900 44’ 1998 Carver 455 Aft Cabin, T-450D, A/C, gen ,radar, GPS, A/P, loaded! . . .$ 329,900 44’ 1979 Trojan F-44 FB, T-330 A/C, gen, VHF, DF, arch, GPS, radar wg drs . . .$ 121,000 43’ 1985 Pearson 43, T-220D, A/C, gen, VHF, DF, radar, GPS, 3 S/R . . . . . . . . .$ 114,900 42’ 1986 Carver Aft Cabin 4207, T-350, A/C, gen, DF, dual station . . . . . . . . . . .$ 124,900 42’ 1982 Krogen 42 Trwlr, S-120D, gen, VHF, radar, GPS, A/P, WSH/DRY . . . . .$ 179,900 41’ 2002 Sea Ray 410 Sundancer, T-370, A/C, gen, VHF, DF, windlass, camper $ 214,900 41’ 1986 Chris Amerosport 412, T-350, A/C, gen, VHF, depth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$ 69,900 41’ 1977 Chris Craft 410 Commander FBMY, T-330, A/C, gen, VHF, DF . . . . . . .$ 89,900 40’ 1987 Hatteras DC, T-350, A/C, gen, VHF, depth, arch, Bimini . . . . . . . . . . . .$ 129,900 40’ 1979 Pacemaker MY, T-350, Fiberglass, A/C, gen, VHF, depth, A/P, radar, .$ 79,900 40’ 1977 Bluewater 450 Sedan, T-270, gen, cockpit, hardtop.
