Over the past two weeks, the Hamlin's Marina team added a paint booth and wood shop to our waterfront service facility. It was a superhuman effort and the resulting upgrade to our facility will help us to run more efficiently.
Whether we are rigging a new Scout, rebuilding an engine, installing a Garmin radar, or painting a sail boat...Hamlin's will be able to do it better, cleaner, and faster than ever before.
With the addition of boatbuilding and Puffin Dinghies this year, Hamlin's Marina will be a very busy place.
Hamlin's Marine welcomes Teresa Libby, Josh Cottrell, John Clark, Alyssa Haywood, and Jeromy Hamel to help us meet the challenge in 2013!
Early indications and our man at the Boston Show, Brandon Clark, are suggesting that 2013 will be a big year for boating. Factory promotions, new models, and favorable financing are making new boat orders roll in!
All of us at Hamlin's cannot wait to get you on the water this year! Check out our website http://www.hamlinsmarina.com for great deals on Godfrey pontoons, Mastercraft ski boats, Scout fishing boats, Polar Kraft fishing boats, Skeeter tournament boats, Hurricane deck boats, and Rinker cruisers.

The business expanded to Frankfort, where Dale partnered
with his brother-in-law, Billy Doyle. Together, Dale and Billy
manufactured over 3000 dinghies that ended up in harbors across the
world. Eventually, Dale left the operation and went back to building
wooden boats, his first love.
- Utility Series: Puffin Dingies as the world
knows them today. They will continue to be available in 7', 8', and 10'.
- Designer Series: 10' (Sail, Motor, Row) using
classic construction historically used by the Cottrell family. These
models will have the classic grey interior and wooden rails. The Designer
series will be available with an optional High Definition vinyl decorative
wrap.
- Conservation Series: Same as designer series,
except vinyl wraps will have Puffin themes such as polka dot (black &
orange), zebra stripes (black & orange), and Puffin heads. For each
boat sold, we will make a donation to Project Puffin.
