BUSINESS DESCRIPTION:
Algona Marine & Sport, Inc., is a family owned and operated business founded in 1943 by Walter A. Hall. It was originally opened as Algona Implement, Inc., primarily an International Harvester equipment dealership. Walter laid the ground work for the transition into the marine business by carrying Blue Water Boats on a limited basis. In 1970 Bill Hall, son of Walt, came aboard after college. Bill had a passion for fishing and hunting. In 1979 Bill contacted Lund boats and Mercury Marine to become a boat dealer.
In the early 1980's the farming economy became very distressed so Bill decided to exit the farm equipment business and pursue the marine business with his wife Sandy.
Bill has always had a love for the water, spending most of his free time fishing and boating, and a real passion for fishing Walleye tournaments. 1982 was the same year professional walleye tournaments started and Bill started fishing in them. In 1985, Bill started fishing the pro walleye tournaments with his son Chad. They went on to compile several top-20 finishes in a couple of years. Chad joined Bill full-time at dealership in 1986. By 1987, the marine business was starting to really grow and Bill made the decision that he needed to stay at the dealership to take care of the business.
