LACONIA — Paul Goodwin, principal of Watermark Marine Systems, on Monday announced the acquisition of Production Trailer & Dock and Central N.H. Divers of Meredith, both owned by Howard Richards.
Both operations will become part of Watermark Marine Supply, the retail outlet under construction at 1218 Union Avenue, the former site of a Burger King franchise. Richards will join Watermark as its retail manager.
"Howie's retail experience and long term knowledge of boating and marine goods is ideal for our market area and will be instrumental in the growth and success that we are planning for the new Watermark Marine Supply," said Goodwin in a prepared statement.
Meanwhile, Production Trailer & Dock will add to Watermark's shoreline construction and service operations.
Watermark Marine Supply is scheduled to open on Union Avenue in the spring of 2013. The company will also operate from Production Trailer & Dock's facility on Route 3 in Meredith.
Established in 1990, Watermark is the largest marine construction company in the Lakes Region with locations in Gilford, Laconia, Meredith and Sunapee. Last year, the firm acquired the property on Union Avenue where it is building a commercial marina with 14 boat slips that will house its corporate offices, a retail store, storage building and launching ramps.
