Proud ValvTect Dealer

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. Also, your marine engine can consume up to ten times more fuel per hour of operation than an automotive engine. Finally, marine engines are also more susceptible to phase separation, corrosion and fuel stability problems caused by ethanol-blended gasoline.


So the question is, why would you consider anything other than marine-grade fuel for your boat? And, when considering marine-grade fuel, why would you consider an average fuel? This is why we are so pleased to be a supplier of ValvTect marine fuel.


ValvTect marine gasoline is specially formulated for marine engines and is designed to prevent the problems of ethanol gasoline, such as phase separation, moisture, poor stability and the formation of power-robbing carbon deposits. It requires no additional fuel additives to protect your engine, which eliminates any risk of improper additive use. In addition, it saves time and money.


Some additional features and benefits in using ValvTect Marine Fuel:

Buyer Services

January 4, 2025
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.
Spring Recommissioning Guide

Spring Recommissioning Guide

January 4, 2025
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.

Brown’s Boat Butler Service

It’s Friday afternoon at 3 and two more projects just landed on your desk with the hope (read demand!) that they be finished before the weekend. Your expected arrival time at the marina has just shifted to 30 minutes before sunset and any hope for a sunset cruise has been dashed by the sudden realization that you’ve got about 90 minutes worth of boat chores before you can leave the marina.
