Geoff and Sue Horne were representatives for Trade A Boat, Trailer Boat, and Bluewater for over 20 years, having attended the inaugural Sanctuary Cove Boat Show in 1990. Twenty-six years ago, they moved to Sanctuary Cove, where they opened an office in the village and successfully convinced the Packer Empire to sponsor the boat show annually. Geoff first crossed paths with Mike Gore in the 1980’s when Mike owned a Datsun dealership in Southport, later bringing in Cheoy Lee boats and Geoff “Trader” Horne then convinced Mike to advertise these boats in Trade A Boat magazine.
Hi Sue, thanks for that great history. If possible we would like to discuss a bit further with you. If you would like to send us an email to info@coastwatch.com.au , that would be great.
