If you watch Northeast Journal, then you know that Hamlin's Marine is a sponsor of my show.

What you probably don't know is that I was a Hamlin's customer way before I ever thought about having a television show. In fact, I've been a Hamlin's customer for over 30 years. And even if they didn't sponsor my show, I'd still be a Hamlin's customer because they inspire that kind of loyalty.

The amazing part is I've still got the first boat Dave Hamlin ever sold to me, a tough 14-foot boat that has seen thousands and thousands of hours of use in both fresh and salt water. I plan on having that boat for another 30 years, if I don't completely wear out the bottom on rocks. Dave told me it was a boat that would last, and I guess he was right.

Look, I'm just like you. I want to do business with people I know and trust.  I also want them to be very good at what they do. The fine folks at Hamlin's are exceedingly good at what they do, and it doesn't matter whether you are talking about advice on what type of boat to buy, how to rig a boat or trailer, or need a part for a 25-year-old motor. They've got the experience and desire to help you resolve whatever boating problem you might have.

So let's sum up. Hamlin's Marine means:

1. Top brand name boats and motors.

2. The best boat set-up and rigging in the state

3. Knowledgeable people in the parts department who know every part you could possibly need.

4. A professional crew in the repair bays who will fix your boat right the first time.

5. A clean, orderly store where you can enjoy shopping, or just looking.

6. A sales staff that is more concerned with getting you into the right boat than in selling you a boat.

7. Winterizing and storage facilities that can't be beat.

8. A smile and warm welcome for everyone who drops by.

Well, that's what keeps me coming back. I hope you stop by some time and see if I'm telling the truth. If you do, tell Dave that Harry said hello.
