Seattle Boat Co. last week announced that it acquired Tobler Marina. Established in 1948, Tobler has locations in Hayden, Coeur d’Alene, and Post Falls, Idaho, and is a Bennington, Chaparral, Duckworth, Moomba, Nautique and Supra dealer.
“Through 75 years and five generations, Tobler Marina has built an incredible reputation in northern Idaho. Like Seattle Boat Co., it is family-owned and operated, and we share many of the same values that have contributed to our collective longevity and success,” said Alan Bohling, CEO, Seattle Boat Co., in a statement. “We are excited to merge our operations to form a solid force in the greater Northwest and are proud and honored to be the fifth owners and to continue and build on their legacy.”
Additionally, Tobler offers parts, service, canvas, upholstery and fiberglass repair and marina slips at four different marinas on three of the major lakes in the area.
“We had been focused on succession planning for more than five years and had considered many options for the best direction and growth for the company and the team,” said Brent Christian, owner of Tobler Marina, in the statement. “When we first started talking with Seattle Boat Co., we quickly realized that they were the ideal successor to take over Tobler Marina.”
