MAKING HISTORY
In 2008, Skagit County outdoor enthusiasts Ron Foley and Kelly Hawley purchased Tom-n-Jerry's. Already experienced in the dealership world, they understood the value of the store’s colorful name and wisely decided to keep it.
As Tom-n-Jerry's has grown and thrived, being environmentally responsible and investing in the local community have become more important than ever.
In 2019, we were proud recipients of a Honda Marine Environmental Leadership Award for energy efficiency.
Community outreach has taken the form of special days at the dealership, such as our First Time Boater’s Event, which allows participants to experience the thrill of San Juan Islands boating for the first time and Christmas Photos with Santa events which have also been a big hit!
As we continue to grow and improve, there will be more to come!

1984
Master Marine Boat Center, Inc was established in 1984 by Larry Carpenter, an avid sportsman, fisherman and boat enthusiast. Born and raised in Washington, but leaving to run two businesses in Colorado, he was looking to move back home to the Mt Vernon area. He decided to start his own business in logging and agriculture and 'fell in' to the world of boats. The name Master Marine Boat Center, Inc was born from a desire for a catchy name that would stick in people's heads and the naval term 'Master' which is a rank responsible for the navigation of a vessel. He had a knack for knowing what fishermen wanted and found the means to not only enjoy fishing himself, but to help others take advantage of the boating lifestyle. Before too long Master Marine Boat Center, Inc was known as The Fisherman's Super Store.
1990
While selling Wellcraft fishing boats, the brand created a sport boat, but dealers were not allowed to carry both kinds at the same location. Larry decided to hedge his bets and branch off to the sport boat market opening Checkered Flag Marine in 1990. They quickly grew their inventory with a variety of ski and multi-purpose boats. Both companies were well-known by locals and many out of state buyers across the Continental US and especially Alaska.
