have blue steel siding and large windows with lots of open space and high ceiling and walls. Work should be completed in mid March. “The building was about 50 years old,” Mr. Tague said. “We outgrew it about 10 years ago. For our business to grow, we need the building to grow. We believe it will help us serve Lake Viking better.” Lake Viking Marine specializes in the sale of new Cobalt Boats, Marker One & Manitou Pontoons. The marina includes a full service center to make Lake Viking Marine the only location needed for all its customers’ boating needs. Mr. Tague added that the new building will be more user-friendly for Lake Viking Marine and for the customers. The marina, which has the only onwater full service in Northwest Missouri, will be able to display more boats, with easier access and more products, and also possibly host events in the new building.
