pontoons but at the time we were just
a boat repair shop so it was a big jump
for me,” recalls Forenski. “In 2013 we
started selling Avalon pontoons and
today I’m their number three dealer in
the world. We sell close to a hundred
boats a year, mainly Catalina pontoons,
and I’m the number one Catalina dealer
for Avalon.”
The quick success led Forenski to
eventually take on the manufacturer’s
other pontoon brand—Tahoe Pontoons—
which showcases his complete loyalty
as he now sells both Avalon and Tahoe
pontoons.
“I’m very happy. I love the product,
I love the company, I love their boats,
and I wouldn’t sell anything but their
pontoons,” said Forenski. “Plus I love
connecting with my customers and I
want them to be happy.”
Catalina is Avalon’s mid-range
lineup and it combines high-quality
construction at a popular price point.
Ranging from 20 to 26 feet in length,
Catalina is all about fun in its retro-
inspired style and offers a variety of
lounge styles as well as a specific fishing
model. There is even a Catalina Funship
in this lineup, which includes a slide on
the top of the double decker model.
