A major recreational fishing boat maker has been invited to The White House for the fourth annual Made in America celebration.

President Donald Trump has invited 50 businesses from across the country to the event next month to showcase their products, including the Correct Craft companies, Parker Boats and Nautique Boat Company.

Bill Yeargin, CEO of Correct Craft, said: “Our team is thrilled to represent not only our industry, but also Florida and North Carolina in The White House. We build uniquely American-made products which are sold throughout the US and dozens of countries across the world. Our American-made quality is second to none.

“I look forward to sharing the story of our company and boats with the President, Vice President and other officials. I am certain they will be impressed. Our Parker and Nautique teams could not be more excited to show off our product at The White House.”
