Growing against the market

Walker Marine grew while its industry contracted. Higher interest rates and cautious buyers pulled new-boat sales down nationwide, and pontoons, a core of Walker Marine’s lineup, were among the hardest hit. Demand didn’t vanish in Minnesota; it got harder to win. Being the dealer people find first on Google is how Walker Marine won it.
