Klauser Marine is located just 1
mile from the beautiful shores of Lake Shelbyville. Klauser
Marine is owned and operated by Dan & Jane Klauser. The
Klausers take pride in
their heritage, which started at Shelbyville, Illinois in 1856 when
Dan's
great-great grandfather, Christopher, started making shoes. In
1882
G.C. Klauser (Christopher's son) started a harness shop & shortly
thereafter,
took his brother Gus Klauser as partner, thus (Klauser Bros.).
Ned
Klauser (G.C.Klauser's son) took over 1929 and ran the business till
1955
when Bob Klauser took over. Bob was in the chain saw, canvas,
&
sporting goods business. In 1968 Bob got into the boat business
as
part of the sporting goods business. The boat business has
expanded
from a few fishing boats in the yard into one of the major dealerships
in
central Illinois. Dan and Jane purchased the business from
Bob
in 2003. It is no accident that the Klauser's have been in
business 127
years. From day one they have provided customers with good old fashion
sales
& service and we are happy to say nothing has changed about
that.
Klauser Bros Marine is proud of its loyal and professional staff,
which
will be there to serve you with your boating needs.
