The Hacker Boat Co. is in the process of relocating its operations to 315 Corinth Road,\u00a0Queensbury, just west of Northway Exit 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials said the corporate offices are already\u00a0 <\/span>in the new location. The production and restoration operations will move later in the\u00a0 <\/span>spring. <\/span><\/p>\n

The company plans to eventually add\u00a0a showroom and ships store on the site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roughly $3 million is being invested in the move to the 6.4-acre Queensbury site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Levack of Levack Real Estate in Glens Falls brokered the deal on behalf of Badcock. Perkins was represented by Bob Sears of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Blake, Realtors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morgan Marine, the company\u2019s Lake George waterfront facility, comprised\u00a0of a\u00a0boat yard, storage facility and show room, will remain at 8 Delaware Ave., Silver Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

George Badcock, president\/CEO, said the\u00a0 <\/span>move \u201cwill benefit\u00a0our employees and existing and\u00a0prospective customers. The majority of our employees will have a much shorter commute, and we believe the new location will better enable us to attract new employees. The more convenient location will make it easier for prospective customers to view and discuss purchasing a Hacker-Craft.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new facility is 40 percent larger. It will allow the company to increase production of new boats for\u00a0anticipated new markets in Europe and the Middle East, as well as expanding restoration operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company also announced Tome\u2019s Landing Marina in Port Deposit, Md., is now an official dealer for the Hacker-Craft brand. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tome\u2019s now has two brand new 2021 Hacker-Craft in stock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tome\u2019s will also retail Hacker-Craft genuine apparel, accessories, and boat models, all of which can also be purchased on-site at the marina. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with this new relationship with Tome\u2019s Landing Marina, which has an excellent reputation,\u201d said Badcock. \u201cOur affiliation with them will enhance our brand\u2019s visibility in the important Chesapeake Bay area. Tome\u2019s joins our expanding dealership network, which now also includes Wawasee Boat Co. in Indiana, Sierra Boat Co. in California and Classic Boat Lifestyle Co., Ltd., in Thailand. We expect our dealer network to continue to grow, especially as we can now provide floor-plan financing.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 <\/span>Kurt Harder, president of Tome\u2019s Landing Marina, said, \u201cwe are really delighted to join the elite network of Hacker-Craft dealers. Hacker-Craft is truly an iconic brand and we are confident that our marina is a great fit with Hacker-Craft. We believe that Chesapeake Bay will prove to be a strong market for the beautiful boats.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
