Don Merritt

As a veteran in this industry with over 40 years of experience in boat maintenance, I am excited for the future of Norton Marine. After previously owning another reputable boat business, I now have the chance to work with my son and pass down the knowledge and experience I've gained throughout the years. 

I specialize in diagnostics, electrical, and outboard engine work as well as client relations. With the abundance of time and experience under my belt, there isn't much I have not seen before or am incapable of fixing!

I am a 28 year old with ten years of boat maintenance experience and a lifetime of boating experience on the Portage Lakes. My main role is to handle the boat cleaning, expert detailing, shrink wrapping, & social media accounts.

Working alongside my father, Don, gives me the valuable opportunity to continue to expand my knowledge while we grow as a business team.
