Every company has a story but not every story has a legacy of boats that have become just as iconic as the company itself. For the Krazy Salts team, both the products and the boat, now an 80-foot Viking, have gained their share of popularity. David Anderson Sr. and David Anderson Jr. take us back to the company’s roots and the boats that started it all.
