A longtime Door County marine business has been purchased by Summeret Marine Construction of Whitewater.  Death’s Door Marine, owned by Mike Kahr, was acquired by Summerset last week.  The new Death’s Door Marine, a subsidiary of Summerset Marine Construction, will now operate at 9580 Rico Lane in Brussels, just off Highway 57, under the name Summerset Marine Construction – Door County.  Kahr says no immediate changes are planned, although the transaction will allow him to do more consulting and planning for the community. 

Kahr founded Death’s Door Marine in 1989 and operated it from 5039 County Road P in Sturgeon Bay before selling the business.
