    Please join me in welcoming Dean Marshall as the new General Manager of Skeeter Boat Center! Dean will be replacing Gregg Kizewski who will be semi-retiring as of December 31, 2011.

    Gregg will be staying on full time through December 31st to assist with the leadership transition to Dean. Gregg has done an outstanding job for Skeeter Boat Center these past two years. In his first year, SBC Sales grew over 30% during a very challenging(and declining) boat market. And for 2011, with Gregg’s leadership and a total team effort, SBC sales are on track to double in a market that is up only about 5-10% nationwide. Skeeter Boat Center is now the 6th largest Skeeter Dealer in the country out of over 160 Skeeter Dealers. And that was accomplished in a little over 3 ½ years of being in business. I am truly grateful and appreciative for everything Gregg has done for Skeeter Boat Center!! Thank you, Gregg!

    Now… even though Gregg is semi-retiring, Gregg will be staying actively involved with Skeeter Boat Center. Beginning in January, we are very excited to announce that Gregg will be transitioning to the Skeeter Boat Center Pro-Staff. Gregg certainly plans to do a lot more fishing, but he’ll be available to our customers, and might even help with some sales. Look for his Deep Water Drop Shot seminar coming this winter! Gregg will still be able to be reached at his same email: [email protected].

    We are looking forward to adding Dean Marshall’s knowledge and talents to the Skeeter Boat Center team. Dean’s business experience, customer service, and fishing knowledge will be true assets to Skeeter Boat Center. Rest assured, Dean’s Tackle Box will continue on with same great products you’ve come to know and trust. And we’ll be adding a larger selection of G-Loomis, Elk River, Shimano, and Great Lakes fishing gear. Look for an updated web site in the not too distant future. You can reach Dean at his new email address: [email protected].

    Dean and the SBC staff are committed to offering you– our customers– the best buying experience and service after the sale possible. Thanks for your past business and support. We look forward to serving you into the future!

    And remember, Have Fun Fishing!!!

    Sincerely,

    Dave Markquart

    Owner

    Skeeter Boat Center

    The ball will certainly continue to roll at SBC.

    Gregg, I hope this “semi-retirement” allows you to get healed up. Maybe you can show me about those “corn-fed” walleyes now

    The bakeries in Chippewa Falls ought to be happy.

    Looks like great service will continue to be a staple. They may even sell another boat or two
