Making Life Better is an inspiring story of character, integrity, ingenuity and faith—values which form the foundation of an enterprise that has become one of the world’s leading recreational boat builders. By holding true to its founder’s mission of “Building Boats to the Glory of God” through times of adversity and prosperity, Correct Craft’s leadership has provided customers with the industry’s best products and used the proceeds of those sales to make the world better for almost 100 years.
In this book, CEO Bill Yeargin shares the account of Correct Craft’s amazing history, culture, and journey to becoming an industry leader. You’ll read about stories such as:
- Correct Craft’s World War II boat building feat that was recorded by the U.S. government as “The Miracle Production”
- The Meloon family’s decision to risk bankruptcy rather than compromise their Christian- based business ethic, and their successful efforts to track down and repay every creditor over the following two decades
- Correct Craft’s transition from family to professional management after having five different CEOs over five years, and an astounding recovery rarely seen in business today
- The company’s transformation built upon its Identity Pyramid, which sets forth the “Why” of “Making Life Better” through the 3 P’s—People, Performance and Philanthropy
- Its very impressive track record of helping sellers of companies protect their legacy and employees through acquisitions that empower brands to meet their true potential
- Correct Craft’s leadership role within the marine industry through advocacy, public service and the creation of the first ever Marine-Industry Culture Summit

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
