WHY KELSEY'S MARINA?
Why Choose Kelsey's Marina... No business should exist without a clear idea of where it is today, and where it would like to be, in the future.
Kelsey's Marina was started in 1967 by Dwight Kelsey himself; not his father, not his uncle, not his mother. He had to learn everything FROM SCRATCH, from sales and service to bookeeping and customer service. This experience, while sometimes overwhelming, has given us a broad base of experience, and a customer base that is unsurpassed in the area.
NO OTHER marina in the area has been selling boats and motors, as well as offering factory-trained service, parts & accessories sales, since 1967. Dwight has had several lines of boats thru the years, but has ALWAYS stayed true to what he felt was the best outboard engine manufacturer, Bombardier Recreational Products (formerly Outboard Marine Corporation). An interesting fact is that each of our employees has been with us for about ten or more years, with one summer helper only at three years. But, they all come back, including "our Kate". Kate Russell Eaton has gone on to bigger and better things with her modeling career, but she comes back for a day here or there just to help us out! They all come back, and we love being their "favorite place" ever to have worked!
When Bombardier introduced the Evinrude E-Tec outboard, we were THRILLED! Never before had we had a LIST of people that were buying engines PRIOR to the next season!!! Hooray for internet saavy, and hooray for Bombardier! Now, all we needed was a good quality boat line to put those engines on! After much research in the Fall of 2005, Kelsey's was awarded the Dealership for Sylvan boats, which includes aluminum fishing boats, pontoons and glass boats. We NOW have products that we feel are the best quality, for reasonable prices, with companies that stand behind their products. And, we offer a dealership that does the same, so how can we miss????
Our "goal' is to increase sales, by expanding the customer base area from which we pull sales, as well as offer an ever-expanding knowledge base, thru training, and experience, at acceptable prices. Our main goal is customer satisfaction, and that is what has kept us going for so many years. We have added a Customer Satisfaction page to our website, just to be sure everybody we deal with is a happy, RETURNING customer!
