Despite challenges including limited available inventory and the cancellation of several product shows, our Indirect Sales team’s marine and RV sales have been strong so far in 2022.

“We have well-established long-term business relationships with dealers in the upper Midwest, and a competitive loan program for those dealers to offer their customers,” said Bruce Craker, indirect sales team leader. As a result, he said, loan activity remains robust, and North Shore Bank’s portfolio continues to grow.

Bruce added: “While current economic concerns are weighing on everyone, as their inventory supply keeps improving, the dealers are unanimous in their belief that the market will be strong throughout the entire summer season. Our team is looking forward to a busy year!”
