Better get it quick, I hear he is closing up shop, I think they are going to stick with the service for a while. Floor plan out front look like it is shrinking fast.

It is one of the most trust worthy dealerships in North Carolina HOWEVER. The main owner Mr. Crocker died and now I believe they are closing up shop. Just hear say though nothing in stone from what I can tell. There has been a little bit of changes since old man Crocker passed so I cannot comment on their status right now but when old man Crocker was running things there was no better dealership in the United States.

Good luck!

Talked to them a couple of weeks ago about Grady White needed parts. Told they are no longer a GW dealer and could no longer help. Good Sign....Bad Sign......who knows but thought I would post.

Story I heard was that Grady was trying to cram boats down dealers throats. Crocker said FU, Grady said bye-bye.
