Summer is coming!
If you’ve not gotten your boat ready for spring- now is the time! Warm weather is here and we invite you to get your boat serviced for this season. Some good preventive maintenance will make sure you get the most time on the water this summer.
We wanted to welcome Gracie and Daniel to the WLM Team for 2021 !!
Daniel joins our service department as service manager and Gracie has come on board to assist with bookkeeping and admin work. We are excited to have them on board with us.
Inventory is low!
2020 brought a surge of new buyers into boating and it seems this trend will hold true for 2021! Both new comers to the boating world, and old time boaters have realized more than ever that boating is a quality recreational activity that the family can enjoy without restriction. If you are in the market to buy- you better get a move on! New boats are selling out fast!
Happy New Year!!
We are back to our normal hours. Tuesday-Friday 9-5 and Saturday 9-3.
White Lake Marine will be closed starting December 19th for our Christmas break. We plan to re-open January 5th to start off the new year.
We would like to thank all of our customers and staff for making this such an amazing year even with everything going on in the world. We hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas and a happy NEW YEAR!

UPDATE 8/1/2020 >>we are operating at Level 1 for our operations.
This post is to explain to our customers that we have an active Pandemic Emergency Guidelines policy in place at White Lake Marine. Our policy has three operating levels, designed to scale and handle changes in government policy and risk.
Level 1. This includes measures limiting travel, proper social distancing, enhanced cleaning, paid leave for effected employees, and more.
Level 2 enacts the following restrictions:
- No further retail customer traffic in the building for shopping parts/accessories or service.
- Service customers: Boats can be dropped off out front of the building and picked up in the same way. Customers may call, email, or text service requests. Payments can be made via our XpressPay link which is mobile friendly.
- Boat Sales- Viewing boats in the showroom will be by appointment only and limited to 2 customers directly involved in the purchase. We will also accommodate by pulling boats outside for customers to view. Demos are also limited to 2 customers and one sales person on the boat at a time.
- Enhanced internal social distancing of staff. Some staff may have offices moved to allow greater distances between them.
- Wiping down boats which we’ve worked on with disinfectant. (Don’t worry it is safe for the boats and a product we have used for years)
We understand some may find these restrictions as unwarranted- however, we owe it to our employees and customers to be vigilant and implement such procedures to help limit exposure and risk to all.

CORRECT CRAFT’S RALPH C. MELOON HONORED BY WATER SKI HALL OF FAME WITH SPECIAL LIFETIME TRIBUTE
ORLANDO, FL (May 1, 2017) – Ralph C. Meloon, son of Correct Craft founder Walter C. Meloon, has been honored with a Special Lifetime Tribute by the Water Ski Hall of Fame. “Mr. Ralph” was recognized at the 35th Annual Water Ski Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony held last Saturday at Walt Disney’s World Showplace Pavilion at Epcot Theme Park in Orlando, FL.
The Hall of Fame Special Lifetime Tribute celebrates the lives of those ambassadors who have made an extraordinary impact on the sport. These are individuals who have gone above and beyond to enhance water skiing’s positive image on society, broaden the sport’s appeal throughout the world, and whose integrity and dignity set them apart in a special and unique way. They have dedicated their lives to making the sport better for everyone involved.
Ralph, a 2013 NMMA Hall of Fame inductee, held many positions at Correct Craft over the years including President, Executive Vice President, Treasurer, and Chairman of the Board for over 25 years helping shape the company into an innovative leader in the waterski and wakesports industry. Under Ralph’s leadership, the company established the first water ski team and developed the first water ski promotional program in the United States which is still used by Correct Craft’s Nautique Boat Company and others in the watersports segment.
Ralph has traveled the globe helping to build Correct Craft and Nautique as premier brands for water ski and wakeboard enthusiasts worldwide. He has visited 85 different nations through the years and was instrumental in selling boats to water ski federations in numerous countries and attending water ski tournaments.
Today, at age 99, Ralph continues to be an important figure in the industry and currently serves as Correct Craft’s Chairman Emeritus.
Correct Craft CEO Bill Yeargin stated, “Ralph Meloon is truly an icon in our industry and an important reason why waterskiing is a global sport.” Yeargin added, “I am truly honored to both work with and learn from Ralph and am thrilled that he was recognized with this prestigious honor.”

After months of planning and with help from Nautique/Correct Craft owners from all over the state and beyond, Shaun Murray wakeboarded behind 46 different Correct Craft/Nautique boats in one day! When we say wakeboard, he did not just ride…he acted like it was a tournament! Giving a show for every single pull!
Thank you to all the boaters and sponsors who made this possible.
