At Marlon, our success is determined by the success of our dealers. With no retail sales to fall back on, partnering with the right people to represent our products is a must. 

One of our more sought-after lines is our Marlon Aluminum Boats. This line is well represented in BC as our boats can be easily found on many bodies of water throughout our province thanks to the detailed features Marlon has added to them.

 

A few weeks ago, a business owner contacted us via email through our website looking for information regarding our boats in an area that, we would have to admit, was unrepresented for many years. Grand Forks is a small town of just over 4000 people that borders the West Kootenays, east of Osoyoos, BC, and just north of Danville, Washington on Highway 3.

When our team read the owner’s name, it rang a bell; but it took us a few minutes to connect the dots. Adam Trainer is a name that most local sledders will know. 

 

''We wanted to partner with a respected, brand-name company that clearly understood the importance of having the right people involved, says Adam. Marlon has done a great job building the brand and engaging strong industry people to represent their products, he adds.”

 

Adam has run Grizzly Lodge, a full-service snowmobile resort out of Scotch Creek, BC since 2007 and purchased the Lodge in 2009. Grizzly has hosted Marlon Ambassador Chris Burant’s, Burant’s Backcountry Adventures since 2013 and welcomes clients from all over the world.

 

Since purchasing land in Grand Forks, Adam, alongside his business partner (and brother) Josh, have kept their ambitious plans in motion with the purchase of B&F Sales, a long-time fixture in town for over 60 years, that sells brands like Honda, Stihl, Husqvarna, and Talaria. Adam and Josh have rebranded B&F as Pursuit Equipment & Sport Ltd and plan to open their doors in early May 2023.

 

'' I chose the Marlon brand for several reasons, but most importantly the ruggedness of the fully welded Marlon V hulls as well as the stability, and the high load capacity of the Jon boats'' Adam Trainer.

 

Along with boats, Adam and Josh have decided on a good selection of 10’ and 12’ Marlon Utility Trailers to help his clients haul their new purchases home. We appreciate Adam and Josh's trust in our brand and look forward to the new energy they will bring to Grand Forks. We wish them and their customers all the best in the coming years.
