As some of you know, I work in the industry. I try not to make a big deal of that since I'm here on this forum, first and foremost, simply as a boater with a passion for this lifestyle like everyone else. However, I've also enjoyed being able to help out in certain ways by offering advice and information about boating and, specifically, Sea Rays, given my profession.
Recently, though, the owner of Peters Marine (it's been family held since 1936) has announced that he is moving on to other ventures that better suit him and his family. Business is good, but it's just not something that interests him as much as it used to. So at this point, one of two things are going to happen with Peters Marine - either the business will be bought by a new owner or, come the end of the year, it will simply close. My hope, of course, for our customers and employees is we get a new owner and things continue as usual.
Anyways, I wanted to reach out and give everyone a heads up in case you hear about it somewhere else - so you at least know the story behind what's going on.
