Message from the Captain!

Happy 2010 from The Houseboat Store! We hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays and is back out there working and playing hard! Spring will be here before you know it, and folks around here are just itching to get back out on the lake.

The past few months have been interesting, as we have seen miracles that many boaters thought would never happen. The biggest of these was, of course, Lanier's water level rising to full pool (and higher!). I tell you, the day I saw "1071" in those big red numbers over the dam, I let out a warhoop right there in the truck. It had been a long time coming. Whether it was Gov. Sonny Perdue's rain dance or the vigils held by so many others, our prayers were finally answered. Now, if I can just perfect my sales dance ...

Speaking of sales, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the incredible prices we have going at the store. Kim has already warned (threatened?) me against taking advantage of some of the deals, myself. She says I already own more boats than I can say grace over. But, folks are definitely starting to trickle in, now that the big holiday has passed. It won't be long before these amazing off-season opportunities are gone.

Just to make sure of that, I'm marking our remaining New Boats down to cost or below ... no haggling. I'm not sure how much longer the inventory will last, so hurry down or give us a call if you are interested in treating yourself to the deal of the decade.

THBS is proud to be Georgia's exclusive dealer of Fantasy Yachts and Stardust Houseboats—the crown jewels of the houseboat industry, as well as Chris-Craft sport boats—master crafters of the worlds most prestigious line of recreational boats.

Our goal is to build our business one satisfied customer at a time, and we know that each of those satisfied customers is truly the best advertisement we could hope for.

One last reminder ... THBS Marine Services department is top notch and now being run by Brian Teeters, formerly of JW Marine. I can personally guarantee (and many of you already know) that Brian is the best houseboat service tech around. Together with our longtime tech Jason Hornor, this team can fix and/or service any boat on the lake. So, be sure to give Brian a call (678.482.9933) and let him know what we can do for you and your boat.

Well, Kim and I are off for a quick spin on Butterface. Thanks again for your support and friendship. Here's to 2010 and the return of prosperity for all.
Can't wait to see you on the lake,
Captain Dean
