Buying a new boat, whether new or new-to-you, can be a daunting undertaking. It’s difficult to find accurate and comprehensive information and, quite often, information in publications is rarely critical because of the relationships between publisher and advertiser. Add to that the emotions that can sometimes get involved early on in a purchase; we’ve all fallen in love with a boat or two only to have our hearts broken.

Finally, it’s starting to feel like spring here in Guilford; a mild winter gave way to an unseasonably cold spring but it finally feels like it’s time to get the boats back in the water. Many of our customers hire us to provide seasonal service so we’re busy prepping boats and providing re-commissioning services. It’s a very important part of the boating process – a misstep in the re-commissioning process can make for an expensive and inconvenient repair down the road. We know that many boaters ready their vessels on their own so we thought we’d share a bit of our expertise on the subject.

If you haven’t been to Brown’s Boatyard via land lately, you are in for a surprise. As many know, our boatyard was inaccessible during fuller high tides.

Here at Brown’s Boatyard, we are proud to be a provider of ValvTect marine-grade diesel and gasoline. When you consider your options in marine fuel, think about this: your boat’s engine operates at higher RMPs and loads than your car or truck engine.

Hello there. Well, the West River is no longer frozen, the Ospreys are back and it’s got all of us here at Brown’s Boat Yard very excited and working hard to get the marina and your boats ready for the upcoming boating season.

For the next two weeks, all Transient Ice Boat slip reservations are 1/2 off. Call Dave North in Florida to make your reservation. You can reach him at 1-800-IHateWinter.

Looking for a deal on marine gasoline or diesel? Well look no further than Brown’s Boat Yard on a Wednesday night. Our fuel costs are reduced by 10 cents Wednesday night.
