Jettrim. What comes to mind when you hear that name? How about custom upholstery, seat covers? Bitchin’ Stitchin’? Jet Ski Museum? How about the man, the face behind Jettrim, the one man with the largest heart, the Legendary Gary Hart, known to many as “Super G.”
Who knew back in 1979 that a small business that came about from a high school hobby would turn into Hart’s Upholstery and blow up into what is known today as Jettrim! It was Gary’s passion and dedication that made Jettrim a phenomenal success. His knowledge was so vast that it led him into so many facets of upholstery that even Gary i’m sure was surprised at times. Jettrim was not only the mecca for upholstered Jet ski parts, but you could pretty much ask for anything and a few bitchin’ stitches later, viola! A masterpiece!
Sadly, on November 13, 2014 the world lost an amazing person. Gary’s passing left his wife Kelly to run Jettrim came with challenges. Kelly has had to make some hard decisions, and has decided to turn the reigns over and pass ownership over Frank Walsh as of February 1, 2015. Frank knew both Kelly and Gary very well and is dedicated to carrying on the legacy of Gary and Jettrim. Frank brings with him the enthusiasm of many sports and will be adding new products as time goes by.
And although we can’t divulge any top secrets, we can let you know of an exciting change coming: the return of Dean Morton! Dean and Gary worked together for almost 20 years, and with Dean’s return on January 26th, he’s sure to be an instrumental piece to what makes Jettrim the best in their field! Oh, and don’t count Kelly out! Kelly will be staying on as the bookkeeper and working the phones and continuing the Jettrim sponsorship programs as usual.
So if you find yourself in Havasu, stop by Jettrim and say “Hi” to Kelly, Nugget and give Frank your new ideas, he’d love to hear them!
