Roger Drill
Email: rogerd@islandyachtbrokers.com
We aren’t saying Roger is old, but: When he started out in the boat business fiberglass was just getting started. His family opened the first Chris Craft Franchise in Northern Minnesota, on Lake Superior, and he actually purchased new boats from Bill Lapworth of Cal boats as well as Moran Yachts from Charlie Morgan.
Well that was then and, as they say, this is Seattle. After 15 years of selling, building and brokering boats in the Pacific NW, He has settled in on what he loves best, selling Trawlers.
In his words: The new Mariner 37’ Pilothouse Trawler will be ‘The Trawler for the next several years’.
