Marina for sale

He is retired and I think he is or was one of the selectmen. He was in the news a while ago about developing an island on Lake Wicwas.

He skis at Gunstock.

I worked for Brian at Browns for a summer back in my younger days - one of the best jobs I ever had, and one of the best bosses... What you saw - and still see with him - is what you got, and no one worked harder in his company than he did!

That is a tough business to be in, compound it with a short season and a relatively finite customer base and you have a huge challenge. Aside of the product, service is key to keeping you afloat (no pun intended there btw...

), if you have great customer service, you might survive. People will go to a marina based just on service, just like they will leave one based on (lousy) service. Now, toss in the economy as it stands today - not a business I'd be looking to get into unless I had some big play money to back me.

And my guess is also Glendale - the picture and description don't fit anything else on that side of the lake. Unless the picture is a bogus broker pic, luring you in... and it is really buried a bit more than it appears...?
