New Location - OHIO

[SprintCar39]

We are going to opening our third location in Ohio on February 1, 2004. It will be in Streetsboro, Ohio. It will have full service and parts facility as well as a complete pro shop. We will post more detail when become available as well as some pictures.

Congratulations! It is great to see a business that's doing well. If it is run similarly to your location that I visited, I'm sure it will be a big success.

88 ski.... Why dont you email me your info and I will put you on our mailing list. It will tell you about clinics and specials. I don't know if you know Chris from Rons but he will be joing us in Streetsboro. You can email me at eric@midohionautiques.com.
You can also see us for MasterCraft, Malibu and TIGE boats.

Eric,
what is the point of carrying all four brands of boats. Isn't it a little hard to sell all 4 brands under the same roof? Not criticizing but more curious. Are you carrying all four brands at all of your locations?

[SprintCar39]

skinautique, No we do not carry all four under one roof. We have MasterCraft and Malibu in one location and Correct Craft in another and Correct Craft and Tige in Columbus. Why did we do this? Many of our customers have asked for us to have a presence in north eastern Ohio. We service all brands of inboards now and many of these customers can't find good service for their boats. We needed a very good service guy for that area and a man with over 15 years experience (with correct craft boats) was available. The local MasterCraft dealer (Rons Marine) was ready to retire so we took over his operation (with a new location). From a business view...there is not a lot of water in Ohio like FL. So when you can only sell 30-50 Correct Craft boats a year it is tough to keep your doors open and pay the kind of money good salesmen and a service man require. We hope this move will make us a better and more stable dealer than what has been in Ohio for some time. It may not work.....but at least I will put all my effort into this as well as a large financial investment. I hope this makes some sense to you and everyone. Thanks for asking. Eric

I wish you the best of luck and thanks for the clarification. I have never seen anyone else do this so it will be interesting to see/hear how this works out for you.
