At Sportsman Boats, we’re always excited to see our dealer partners continue to grow, especially when that growth creates even more opportunities for customers to experience the boating lifestyle.

With plenty of lot space available, the Morehead City location is also well-positioned to offer an impressive selection of inventory and accommodate future growth as demand continues to increase throughout the region.

This expansion comes during an especially exciting year for Collins Inc., as the company celebrates its 70th Anniversary. Reaching that milestone is a true testament to the relationships, trust, and dedication they’ve built with customers and the boating community over generations. It’s rare to see a dealership sustain that kind of legacy, and even more impressive to see them continuing to grow and invest in the future.
