About this title

Synopsis

One of the most recognized names in water-skiing was built not on shameless ambition and power, but on integrity and faith. Founded in 1925 by W.C. Meloon, a man with a hobby and a dream, Correct Craft has made major contributions to the business of boat-building and the sport of water-skiing. Behind the success is a compelling story of a family-owned business that honors God. Correct Craft and the Meloon family have faced both the rough waters of adversity and the tranquil waters of prosperity. They grew, thrived, sank, and came back once more to become a leader in their industry. Read about:

• The miracle production of 400 assault boats in 15 days to help the U.S. Army cross the Rhine River in WWII
• The turnaround of a bankrupt company that chose to repay all its debts
• The principles of running a company based on Christian values.
• A company with strong ethical values and fairness in dealing with others can thrive

 Parting the Waters is a testimony to one such company that has remained constant in its commitment to God.
