Clayton pointed out that being a local manufacturer of these tried and tested boats is proving to be a large part of the success of the business in South Africa. “Being able to more easily interact with one’s boat builder is key. Clients like to come in and see the factory, chat about their personal preferences – from choosing their colours and fittings, to popping in from time-to-time, to check on the progress of their boat build.” He went on to say that he is now also building boats for clients in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Clayton has been a Lowrance supporter for many years, so becoming a Lowrance dealer when the business opened, was a natural progression. “We believe in the product and we supply and fit Lowrance units to almost all our boats. These include the Elite Ti2, Carbon and Live units – though we can order any model from their comprehensive ranges. “Lowrance SA gives us all the support we need in terms of advice, information and technical assistance. We get excellent service from Keith Falconer who is very knowledgeable and helpful – a huge benefit to us and our clients.” Lowrance South Africa is the proud owner of a new Ruffneck Maverick S and 115 CT Mercury motor!
