Dave Bortner. President.
Dave combines a lifelong interest in vintage boats with years of corporate experience in sales, marketing, sourcing and operations. Dave’s passion for vintage boats began as a teenager. After he and his father completed a number of vintage auto and furniture restorations, they restored a vintage boat. They enjoyed the process so much that they started a boat restoration business as a way to finance Dave’s college education.
Dave bought and sold a great number of vintage boats. He met Todd Warner in 1977. They became friends and kept in touch over the next twenty-five years. After a successful career spanning sales, marketing, and personnel management for companies in the power sports market, Dave became involved with Mahogany Bay. He consulted on sales, marketing, restoration shop management, financial management, and hiring. He was ultimately named President in 2002.
