Forms Parts Alliance With Sam's Marine International, Inc.
New Bern, North Carolina -
September 12, 2000 For over four decades, Hatteras’
reputation of providing superior products with unmatched customer
service has been a trademark of the company that has led the industry.
In an effort to continue to provide Hatteras owners with the
service and sourcing of replacement parts, which has become part of the
Hatteras tradition, the company has announced a strategic partnership
with Sam’s Marine International, Inc. to supply
parts for the “vintage” Hatteras.
Sam’s Marine International, located in Ramseur, North Carolina was the
brainchild of it’s principal, Steve McPherson, who worked in the
Hatteras parts and service department for over twenty-seven years.
“I’ve worked with Hatteras customers to help maintain their boats
and supply the right replacement parts almost all my life”, says Steve.
“By having us concentrate on the older Hatteras product, it gives the
manufacturer an added dimension and lets them focus more on current
models”.
“We are excited about our relationship with Sam’s Marine”, stated Chuck
Cameron, Hatteras’ Assistant Director of Service.
“The knowledge and experience that Steve brings to this partnership
allows us to maintain a concentrated effort on parts availability for
our vintage yachts.
Steve will focus his efforts on parts and the factory service team
will continue to answer all customer service questions regarding these
yachts. Parts, as well as customer service, for current production
models will continue to be handled by our in house team”.
To strengthen this effort even further, Hatteras recently formed an
alliance with a small boat manufacturer to provide Sam’s Marine with
most small fiberglass parts, abs plastic parts and molded flybridge
windshields.
