It's a sad day here in Minneapolis, Another small family owned sports shop is closing its doors. Mark the owner of Son watersports and Dave his salesman have been around Correct Crafts for a long time. Mark used to work at the Correct Craft warehouse by Chicago. Dave has been in the recreation field for along time. They had a lot of knowledge between them about the old boats. They were a lot of help to me. They will be missed. Mark and Dave Thanks for all the help over the years.

Sign of the times., maybe. I went to go to the Overtons store in Raleigh a while back to find that it was now gone. Maybe the tube market is shrinking.
Similarly, a while back, with a fair amount of fanfare, White Lake Marine opened a satellite shop in Durham, just up the road from where I work. With quite a bit less fanfare, it seems to have closed. I think maybe they couldnt handle the competition from the shop that opened next door that sells these beauties. |

That is some bad news. I stopped in there while visiting my in laws a few years ago. Great guys with a nice store. Hope the next endeavor they choose goes well.
