Beautiful Days Ahead


I'm setting here watching the sunset and I'm just so moved to write. The whisps of clouds dance in a pink and blue ballroom in the sky reflected in the jewel of the south's beautiful green face. No greater Artist!!!!!! Finally, the weather has broken and we are nudging toward the 70's. WOOOO HOOO!!!! Today we met and were able to serve two very special people. They purchased a pre-owned boat from us and they were the best as all our customers are. I just so enjoyed meeting them and chatting with them about honesty, the economy, the young people and values. What a joy! I LOVE to meet people.

We also were able to serve another sweet couple who took advantage of the unbelievable WOWNOW deals from Chaparral on a new '08 model...looking forward to seeing them again as well. I know you hear it, but this is THE BEST TIME TO buy a boat. The 2008 models we have are priced very low and I would put them on the website if Chaparral would allow, but they don't so dealers have fair chances to sell product at their price. If you want a Chaparral, you need to call and ask about the pricing: as our rep said, "there will never be a time that boats are this discounted. I hope people take advantage of the Chaparral Stimulus Plan." You may think that sounds corny, but it's true...we sell and they want to help us so we can reload in the fall.

I see glimmers of hope today all around the lake. People smiling with the sun shining. It's more than uplifting. I feel like the good news of the DOW and the glints of turnaround are lifting people. I always remind myself, though, people all around need to be lifted. Hopefully, here at Magnum, we do just that. It's not just about selling or profit, but about making and creating new relationships! We just want to truly serve you. Good to see Mr. K and son today. Thanks for all the support of all! See you in the sun and fun of the season: COME SEE US!

Magnum Boating family


Cold weather stops some boaters, but not this family that loves the Duke Blue Devils! We first met Team "O" on a warmer day as they looked at their "Blue Devil" Chaparral on the lot. Never fearing a cool day, their orientation took place in frozen weather with then dressed for their water sleigh ride! Welcome to the family, "Team O!"





Just the other day "Team O" came in for some bumpers and other supplies. It was a genuine pleasure to see them decked out and ready for spring as much as we are--eventhough Winter was holding on that day too. I couldn't remember if I'd asked them to post on our web, so...now that I have it....MEET team O!

Go Blue Devils!!!!!! They'll come back next year!!! (Sorry the posting took so long: misplaced the images). :) Thanks for the mascot, too: Karl and I love to see him perched above the copier! :)
