St. Paul Shipwrights
Boat Dealer in Saint Paul, MN
As a youngster, Mark's family had Chris Craft cruisers in Lake City, Minnesota. It was at this early age that Mark learned the skills of tiny craft maintenance. In 1967 the Sauer family acquired a lake cottage that came with a 1951 Chris Craft 19' Holiday. Now springtime varnishing became a yearly ritual. In time his interest in working on wooden boats grew into a business. He worked out of a heated barn on an estate that overlooked the St. Croix River. His rent to the owner was nominal in exchange for taking care of the estate property.
