    From kayaks to cruise ships. Roger Moore, aka 007, the dealer principal of Nautical Ventures, the recently-crowned Boating Industry Top 100 Dealer of the Year award winner, says you can buy just about anything that floats from them. And they even sell a few things that can go under the water, instead of on top of it. However, they constantly emphasize to staff that what they really sell is fun. In this interesting, insightful conversation, Moore and Boating Industry Insider host David Gee discuss vertical integration, how he grew the footprint of his business, impediments to growth, including staff, and how you get disparate parts of an organization to work together as they continue to grow and scale.
