In 1973, Audrey and Jeff Berzinis and Bonnie and Tom Sawyer purchased the Southwest Boat Corp. yard and renamed it Southwest Boat Marine Services. It was in complete disrepair. While this reconstruction was going on, many times people would stop by and reminisce about the "good old days." New pilings, piers, buildings and more parking were added. In 1998, the Sawyers' opted out and the yard continues today [2011] with the Berzinis. In 1999, the MDI Community Sailing Center [began] renting dockage, storage, and office space at the site." - "History of Southwest Boat", Southwest Boat Marine Services site, Accessed online 11/04/08; http://www.southwestboat.com/info.html
