Wagga Marine is owned by Craig (Harro) and Kerryne (the boss) Harris, Harro purchased the business from Rod Cockburn (Wagga Compleat Angler) in October 2006 when he went in to buy a boat but walked away with 20 - much to Kerryne's disbelief.
Harro has had a passion for fishing and boats since he was a kid and has always said from a very young age that he would love to own a boat shop, he has an afinity for fitting boats out that are user freindly, easily accessable, but more importantly, what the customer wants. Harro has, for the past 5 years, earned a reputation for the custom boat fitouts and the wrapping of a lot of boats, which he still loves to do, he still gets a kick out of seeing a boat transform from a good boat into a great boat, a fantastic fishing platform that he would like to use.
Kerryne has been with Wagga Marine since the start, but has just come on board full time and has given the boys direction and a renewed sense of vigour, not that it was waning, but Kerryne has given a females perspective on were other items could or should be positioned or stored. Kerryne is in charge of accounts and keeping the boys in line.
Harro is a HUGE fan of the Balmain Tigers (obviously now the West Tigers) so much so that the Wagga Marine uniform is now Tigers colours. If you come into the shop with Tigers colours and purchase somthing, who knows, Harro might just afford you a little present, you never know
