Late summer of 2006 we were presented this award for having outstanding sales volume in the Northeast region for Princecraft Boats.  We have strong belief that when a manufacturer builds a great product and then teams with a strong dealer, good things will happen.

2005 Honorary Mention
Friends Of The Cobbossee Watershed.
 
The folks who should be receiving an award are the friends themselves for the countless hours of preparation and hands on work that they perform for our community. And results are being seen. With the construction of the Norcross Landing Boat wash station standing as just one example. Each year we assist in the works of this fine group through donations of manpower, materials. We believe wholeheartedly in the mission of the Friend Group and acknowledge our assistance more as a responsibility then a donation.
