Our Story
The journey of Thunder Marine began in the mid-1980s when Mark LaPrade decided to create a dealership that would offer customers more than just a place to buy a boat. Mark's philosophy was simple: if you're out to make a customer for life, everything else will take care of itself. Today, Mark's daughter Tracie and her husband Steve have taken the reins, carrying on the same values of exceptional customer service and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
