<p class="ydp369e1774yiv9939220959">I remember my old boss, Tom Collins at Midwest Yachts in Tonka Bay/Excelsior was invited out by Frank Butler to tour Catalina’s facility in about 1976. It was an impressive operation and we ended up with the Catalina dealership. Good quality cruiser
for the money and we sold a ton of 22’s and 30’s. Frank always seemed helpful and easy to work with and many Catalina owners had direct access to him.</p>
