One business in Mansfield looked to kick off the boating season by showing the community their line-up, during an open house event.
Showing off their new products and serving up a bbq lunch, NAPA Pièces d’auto Bois-Fort Inc. continued their tradition of hosting the open house, welcoming guests to check out their wide line of products.
“It’s about exposing our products and encouraging people to shop locally,” said Sylvain Fortin, who owns the business with his dad.

While eager to show off their new models, including a boat that was barely on the lot before it was sold, Fortin detailed some of the products offered. From a range of boats to ATVs and everyday vehicles, there was plenty to take in.
The highlight for Fortin was the 2018 Legend Vibe D20 Deck Boat, as it features a newly designed hull and much more.
“This is the new model, it was just announced in January,” he said.
While eager to have it displayed proudly on the lot, Fortin was a bit disappointed to say that he hadn’t tried one out yet – though it was with good reason.
“We got it on the lot on Wednesday and sold it Friday, to a local guy,” he explained.
Fortin said that they host their open house every year, always before the long weekend.
