Frequently Asked Questions

In 1997 we bought out Rockhill Marine and have been hard at it ever since.  Our staff have all been in the lake area for a number of years and spent numerous days out on the water, we are avid boaters and tournament anglers just like yourself.

We would prefer to have you bring your boat to us but realize that isn’t always possible.  If you need an on-water service call, we would be more than happy to accommodate you.  Please call our service department to schedule an on-water service call.

It is a sign of the times, the days of having a huge inventory of 70-100 boats are no longer.  By doing this it enables us to keep our prices down and pass the savings along to you.  Don’t worry though, we still plenty of boats to choose from.

Another factor is many of our customers will order their boat custom built getting the motor, color or options that they have always dreamed about.  Check out our Photos page for some examples of these boats.

In addition to the technical differences between direct-injection two-strokes and four-strokes, at lower rpm DI two-strokes are more potent performers because they boast a power stroke with every swing of the crank.  Four-strokes only build power on every other up and down swing of the crank. To compensate some engine builders incorporate a lower gear ratio in the gear case, the lower the ratio, the more torque is multiplied narrowing the gap between two and four strokes.
No matter what brand or type of outboard motor you may buy, in the final analysis what’s most important is the deal.  As when buying a car, it’s vital to comparison shop.

We wish we could give you an exact time but the truth of the matter is each job is unique.  We will do our best to get you back out on the water in a reasonable amount of time.  All work is done by one of our certified technicians.

It is different from manufacturer to manufacturer, but for the most part it is usually around July or August of each year.
