Have You Heard?: Hi Mountain adds Arctic Cat line

Have You Heard?
Hi Mountain Recreation has purchased the Arctic Cat snowmobiles and ATV franchise from Prestige Toyota Sports & Marine.
This gives Hi Mountain ownership of another major brand. The business, at 454 Moore Lane, already owns Bombardier Recreational Products, which includes Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Sea-Doo personal watercraft and Can-Am ATVs.
Hi Mountain Recreation owner and president Barry Usher said that the Arctic Cat brand is one of the most respected in the industry.
"The combination of Bombardier Recreational Products and Arctic Cat will give Hi Mountain Recreation the competitive edge in the recreational vehicle market in Billings, carrying two of the top brand names in snowmobiles and ATVs," Usher said. Usher also owns three area Harley-Davidson/Buell dealerships, in Billings, Red Lodge and Cody, Wyo.
For Ray McLean, owner of Prestige Toyota, selling helps him focus on expanding the Toyota dealership, which is at 1532 Grand Ave.
"Arctic Cat took up a lot of room," McLean says. "We're getting ready to expand the Toyota side because that's growing at such a great rate."
The boat dealership will be moved by August as soon as another location can be found.
When McLean passed on moving out to the West End, he decided to stay put on Grand and expand into what used to be Gerald's Furniture at 1309 16th St. W.
The building now houses the Yellowstone Council on the Aging and the Yellowstone Council on Aging Resource Center. These groups have about two years left on their lease, and while McLean says there is no rush, he and the Council officials are looking for another location.
Then the Gerald's building will be torn down and McLean will construct a 38,000-square-foot dealership.
"Everything on Grand Avenue will be taken down, and we'll go up with everything brand new," he says.
Despite dark economic news from U.S. auto manufacturers, McLean says Toyota's U.S. sales continue to grow and that Tundra, Toyota's first full-size truck, is selling very well.
Laugh lines
