Fellow boaters,

 

We are pleased to announce the addition of an affordable Houseboat preventative maintenance program. (currently only Center Hill Lake)

 

No one likes to arrive at the dock for a weekend of fun and relaxation just to find an issue that makes that impossible. 

 

Our goal is to provide a monthly service that will take the worry and anxiety out of keeping your houseboat in great working order.  Attached you will find two different programs designed to fit the needs of most any owner.  We feel this service will help hold down repair cost and afford you the piece of mind in knowing your investment is maintained and safe to operate at all times.

 

In most cases being proactive instead of reactive to needed repairs saves time and money.

 

In this program we will come to your houseboat monthly and perform a multitude of preventative maintenance checks designed to head off expensive repairs. 

 

Also offered in these programs is optional regularly scheduled maintenance such as winterization, oil changes, wash & wax just to name a few.

We would be happy to customize a program to fit your individual needs to include (Ski boat, pontoon, jet ski etc) All of which can be amortized over 12 months in equal monthly payments.

 

Contact us today to get your houseboat signed up!
