    Pops Marine

    Today at the ABA on Kerr, Gary announced that Pops Marine is going out of business. No date as of when it will take place but I had been hearing rumors for a few weeks and now it has been confirmed.

    Re: Pops Marine (Carlos H)

    Heard this last week.Will miss their service! Guess i will be carrying the Merc to Sanderson's. Lee has always been very good and we go way back. As far as the Cat goes i haven't had an issue with it but the closest dealer isn't like the 15 minutes ride to Pop's.

    Best one I know is mentioned above...Lee Sanderson in Chester...

    Very sorry about Pop's closing. Happy for his retirement, but sad for anyone out of a job....

    I wish Wayne, Richard, Bea, and Charles all the best. They're all great friends and will be sorely missed!

    Re: Pops Marine (RobShaw1)

    This is real bad news. Spoke to Wayne on Friday and he broke it to me. Charles is working at sanderson so I reckon that's where I'll take the boat for engine work. I will miss the folks and the service. Now there is officially ZERO bass boat dealers near me (BPS is out of the question).
