Fort Fremont

-Some things you can study, and study and research until the cows come home (and youshould do this) but; there comes a time when you then just have to go for it.

Dave and Joan Thomson purchased the business (it had been a Houseboat Marina) in 1969.  Their threesons:  Jeff, Greg and Dan, took over ownership in the mid 80’s and helped shape it to the completePowerSports dealership that it is today. Fort has a full-service shop with talented techs with many years ofcombined service experience.  This includes; detailing of boats, winterizing, storage and more. It’s clear the family loves what they are doing with 50 years of business under their belt, they continue tolook to the future of the business as well as the Fremont community. Wakeboard Wednesday’s are a greatexcuse to check Fort Fremont out for yourself.
