A 150-ton boat lift is hard to find. There isn’t one on the Gulf Coast between Tampa and the Corpus Christi area unless you go to Saunders Yacht Works. Their 150-ton lift can hoist a 120 yacht out of the water and set it on land for work ranging from new engines, new interiors, refurbished air conditioners, to a cleaned and painted hull. John Fitzgerald runs the show today but the business began in the 1950s on Royal Street in downtown Mobile. Hear his fantastic story of their family business and what their future holds.
Bear Walker made 4000+ skateboards in 2019, up from 1500 the year before. His partnership with Pokemon to make a board featuring Pikachu caught the eye of the skateboarding community and the boards sold out in two days and are now selling on eBay at twice their purchase price. Bear stumbled onto a grip on the boards that’s cut into the board during manufacturing, not an adhesive, that he’s working to sell to other industries for boating decks or ADA ramps. All things are looking up for Bear Walker and his beautiful, high-performance, and expensive skateboards.
