Irwin Marina

So I have been on the lake since 1981 and I have never ever been to a marina like Irwin Marina in Laconia. I have been in every marina around the lake over the years, and Irwin's is by far the best. The people there are great, everyone has a smile on their face, everyone is willing to help, just good all around people. I go in there a few times a season to look at all the big new boats they have, I went in two days ago, and they dont have anymore new big boats left. I was talking to the older salesman there, and he said they are having the best year they have had in a long time, all the new big boats (over 30 feet) have been sold, and the boats are flying out of there. He said in the last week they have sold a new 33 footer, a 29 footer, and a 35 footer!!!! I cant believe they are having such a good year. Over the winter they pulled in a youngster to do all the financing and he is getting everyone financed which obvi helps them sell more boats. I thought the banks were not lending as much money on boats anymore?
Even though I dont have a sea ray, the salesman invited me to a big party that Irwin Marina puts on at the Margate this weekend. I guess last year they had over 800 people show up? Anyone know about this?
I would be interested to hear about other marinas in the area and how they are doing, I have yet to make the rounds to check them all out.
