Today marks our last day as owners of Flat Tops Marine & Motorsports, and after many years, it's truly bittersweet. With over 38 years in the marine industry, walking away from something we've poured our hearts into isn't easy, but knowing it's going to the right person makes all the difference.
To every customer who trusted us with your boat, your project, your weekend plans on the water — thank you. You didn't just give us your business. You gave us friendships, loyalty, and some of the best years of our lives. Every handshake, every repeat visit, every referral to a friend — we felt it all, and we are so grateful.
We're thrilled to be entrusting the business to Matt Sharpe. Many of you already know Matt. He's been part of the Flat Tops Marine & Motorsports family for almost five years now. He's a skilled marine mechanic, a straight shooter, and someone who shares the same values of honesty and quality work that we built this business on. We didn't just hand this over to anyone. We chose someone we truly believe in. We're also excited to watch his son Kadyn grow into the business and carry it forward for years to come. We couldn't be more confident in where Flat Tops Marine & Motorsports is headed.
And don't be surprised if you see Kris around from time to time. He will still be building drives and handling specialty work and I will still be behind the scenes managing the office side of things. So while this chapter as owners is closing, we're not saying goodbye just yet!
Please continue to show Matt and Kadyn the same love and support you've shown us over the years.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you — whether you're local or have trusted us from miles away. You gave us more than customers — you gave us community.
Here's to the next chapter — for all of us.
With gratitude,
Kris & Janet
