Thank you for a great 2007!
Our 46th year was a tremendous one for the industry and our company thanks to the patronage of so many loyal customers. We had a lot of fun working with many new customers as well as many that have been with us for years (you know who you are!). We participated in one very big show at the Indiana State Fairgrounds and hosted our own Open House  sale. We'll do it all again this year- we hope to see you at our events. Keep tuned in to our events page for the details.

Each year seems to be more rewarding than the previous one. This year (2007) Boatland has been recertified as a Sea Ray Master Dealer (That makes 11 years in a row!!). This achievement is a direct result of a dedicated staff who believe as I do we can always be better. We are looking forward to 2007 and the years beyond. We  anticipate the next 46 years to be as rewarding as the last 46 have been!

Thanks again and see you on the water!
Gary Runciman, President

A Brief History of Boatland

Established in 1961,  Boatland was founded with the intention of bringing families together through recreation. As is true today, the company was founded on the belief that those who work hard, also want to play hard, and they want to deal with others who treat them like family.

Following their father's retirement in 1976, brothers Gary and Lee Runciman  assumed the responsibility for day-to-day operations. They knew then that the company was poised for growth, and grow it did. Over the next ten years, they added over 44,000 square feet of  space. This included a new state-of-the-art service department, a parts and accessories department, a fiberglass repair and a storage facility. The recent purchase of 4 additional acres with a new 30,000 sq. foot storage facility, allows Boatland the ability to supply all of your boating needs. These new facilities are ran by seasoned staff. In fact, members of the sales, service, and business departments regularly attend schools and seminars to hone their skills and increase their knowledge; in order to provide unsurpassed value to Boatland's customers. Boatland also has a long-standing system to check its progress with customers.

Today, Boatland has become the standard to follow for all marine dealers throughout Indiana. Boatland is still family owned and is operated with those original values and beliefs. Customers, then as now, are treated to the very best products and services - what President Gary Runciman refers to as "The Dream".  Quotes Runciman, "I have always believed that "If you think it's perfect it's time to raise your standards."
