Mack’s passion has always been buying, selling, trading, and interacting with the public. Naturally, this became a trait which our son Tommy inherited. Their similar interests enabled them to work together as a team and indulge in father/son bonding through an entrepreneurial venture. Tommy had always wanted to combine his passion for sales with his love for the lake therefore; he shifted focus and decided to pursue selling boats. In July 2007, we purchased the previously known Lake of Egypt Marina – currently known as “Mack’s Lake of Egypt Marina”. This was an ideal location to renovate and bring new life, and a sense of community to the Lake of Egypt. The intent behind this purchase was to not only offer a place for boat sales but more so, to offer a newer, nicer, family friendly, full-service marina facility to the Lake of Egypt residents as well as, boaters from all over the area. We are proud of the facilities and services we provide to our valued customers.
