Among the high-end items offered by Neiman Marcus in its annual Christmas catalogue is a custom designed Hacker-Craft from Lake George.

“All of us are thrilled to have a Hacker-Craft selected for the Christmas Book”, said George Badcock, President & CEO of the Hacker Boat Company, which is headquartered in Silver Bay.

Explaining the Dallas, Texas department store’s decision to include Hacker in its Christmas catalogue, spokeswoman Ginger Reeder said  “We look for the best. If we’re looking for a speedboat, we have to find the best on the market.”

The Hacker-Craft offered in the Christmas Book was designed especially for Neiman Marcus and sells for $250,000.  For every speedboat sold, Neiman Marcus will make a $3,000 donation to the Double H Ranch in Lake Luzerne.
