Crocker's Marine Closing

ryanc2 · Oct 17, 2009

Sad, especially after Kay's passing this year. Growing up in WB, the Crocker family has always serviced our boats. Bought a Grady and Whaler from them years ago and was glad to see them pick up Parker at the WB Location. Wonder what Newland will do now?

It is a sad day indeed when any well respected dealer closes its doors.

Sorry to hear this. I saw it on another forum and was hoping it was misinformation.

It is truly a sad day again. Mid Atlantic Marine (Parker Dealer) in Warsaw Va. closed its doors September 30. 2009. Our good friends at GE decided to call in the floor plan. Imagine, the Gov't lends them our tax dollars at Zero interest and they decline to lend it to a small business and close the doors at another boat dealership. How do you create jobs like that?
