We opened Cathouse Marine about four years ago at Lake Martin.  Before that, we serviced Lake Martin by way of service trucks and will continue to do so.  We tried very hard to make that location work, but when we looked at it closely over the long term it just don’t work. (and it was a really tough Summer) I am sad to say we will be closing the Lake Martin location.  Another change underway  involves Cathouse Marine, Prattville location.  We have purchased property at 821 Davis St. with a 7 bay shop and have moved our main office there.  That shop also will house paint/gelcoat repair.   Also, our new and used boat sales are across the street along with 6,000 sq ft. of storage.  (Something we really needed at the Lake but did not have). The engine shop in Prattville will still operate on County Rd. 27 rebuilding engines both inboard and outboard.  The PWC shop will stay as stand alone in Autaugaville.   I have told many forum members/customers of our plans and sincerely appreciate all the support.  Lake Martin customers are great to us.  We are currently moving all inventory, tools and equipment to our new facility.  We are scheduling winterizations/service calls at this very moment.  Your business is VERY much appreciated.   My family and I thank you for your support.

Respecfully,
Steve Northington
