BoatUS yesterday announced new ownership at the TowBoatUS location on Logan Martin Lake at Coosa Island Marina in Cropwell, Ala. The new operator, Matthew Kronen, is the marina owner.
“TowBoatUS handles the routine stuff — breakdowns, groundings, battery jumps,” Kronen said in a statement. “We can respond day or night with a tow back to a marina or launch ramp.”
The TowBoatUS location was most recently owned by Chris Day. Nationwide, the towing service responds to around 90,000 requests for on-water assistance each year.
Coosa Island Marina has been in Kronen’s family since 1983. Working in and learning the marine business has been a lifelong passion for Kronen. “I grew up on the lake,” he said in the statement.
While Kronen runs the company’s two 20-foot towboats, his wife, Tami, handles business operations. “She’s crucial to our success,” he added.
