The Boat Shop

The Boat Shop The Boat Shop is Reggie’s passion project. Simple, honest boat service for people who love the water. Reggie is a long-time boat guy through and through.

A lifelong boat guy who loves Mercury motors, he now services boats in his free time, helping fellow boat owners keep things running right. The Boat Shop was built from a lifetime on the water and decades of hands-on experience. What started as a full-time business has evolved into something simpler and more personal. Boats, motors, and especially Mercury engines have always been his jam. Today, h

e’s choosing to slow things down and focus on what he loves most—helping fellow boat owners keep their boats running right. This is no big shop, no flash, and no pressure. Just honest boat service done in Reggie’s free time for people who care about their boats as much as he does. If you’re looking for experience, integrity, and someone who truly understands boat service—not just the job, but the lifestyle—you’re in the right place.

🍂⚓️ HELLO SEPTEMBER, BOAT FRIENDS! ⚓️🍂

How did we get here already?! One minute we were counting down to lake days and now we’re talking about cooler nights and the end of boating season. 😅

With September here, we wanted to give everyone a little Boat Shop update too.

Reggie is now working full time, so The Boat Shop has officially become his part-time, spare-time gig. Boats are still his thing and he still enjoys helping his longtime customers — but his availability is more limited than it used to be.

That means one thing:

👉 PLEASE PLAN AHEAD.

If you know you need repairs, maintenance, or winterizing, don’t wait until the night before you need your boat or the first freezing forecast. 😂

Send us a message here on Facebook and Reggie will let you know what he can fit into his schedule.

If it’s something he can tackle, great! 🔧🚤
If he doesn’t have the time or it’s something he’d rather not take on, he’ll gladly help point you in the right direction.

We appreciate every single one of you who has continued calling, messaging, recommending The Boat Shop, and trusting Reggie with your boats after all these years. 💙

Now for our Thursday question…

🍁 How long are YOU keeping the boat out this year?

A️⃣ Until Labor Day
B️⃣ Through September
C️⃣ Until it gets REALLY cold
D️⃣ You’ll have to pry the keys out of my frozen hands 😂

🚤🍂 FRIDAY BOAT OWNER CHECK-IN! 🍂🚤

The weekend is here… and summer may be winding down, but we’re not ready to say goodbye to boating season just yet. 😎

So tell us…

👇 If you had ONE perfect lake day left this season, what would you choose?

🎣 Early morning fishing
☀️ A full day cruising and soaking up the sun
🍔 Food, friends & floating
🌅 A peaceful sunset ride
😏 Honestly… ALL OF THE ABOVE

Drop your answer below!

And while you’re squeezing in those last great lake days, here’s your friendly reminder from The Boat Shop:

🍁 Fall sneaks up FAST.

If your boat needs anything before it gets put away for the season — or you already know winterizing needs to be on your list — now is the time to start thinking about it.

📩 Send Reggie a message here on Facebook. If he can help, he will. If it’s not something he wants to take on, he’ll gladly point you in the right direction.

Have a great Friday, boat friends!

Enjoy the water while we’ve still got it. 💙⚓️

🍂🚤 FALL IS about HERE… AND IT’S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT WINTERIZING 🚤🍂

It’s hard to believe how fast boating season flies by, but cooler days are rolling in and now is the time to start thinking ahead.

If you wait until the last minute, schedules fill up fast — and nobody wants to be scrambling when the temperatures really start to drop.

A few things to keep in mind before winter hits:

✅ Don’t put off winterizing
✅ Make sure your motor and systems are protected before freezing weather arrives
✅ Take care of the little things now so you’re not dealing with big problems later

Winterizing now can save you a whole lot of headaches when spring rolls back around.

If your boat needs attention before the season is completely over, send Reggie a message here on Facebook. If he can help, he will. And if it’s not something he wants to take on, he’ll gladly point you in the right direction.

🍁 Don’t wait — now is the time to start thinking about winterizing your boat.

🚤☀️ TUESDAY BOAT TALK! ☀️🚤

We’re officially in that part of summer where the days are still warm, the sunsets are gorgeous, and every nice weekend feels like one you don’t want to waste. ⚓️

So tell us…

👇 What’s your favorite time to be on the water?

🌅 Early morning when it’s calm and quiet
☀️ Middle of the day with everyone out having fun
🌇 Evening cruise when the sun starts going down
🌙 After dark when the lake finally gets peaceful again

We have a feeling this one might be a close race!

And here’s your friendly reminder from The Boat Shop — if something isn’t sounding, running, or feeling quite right with your boat, don’t ignore it until your next big lake day.

Send Reggie a message here on Facebook. If he can help, he will. If it’s not something he wants to take on, he’ll do his best to point you toward someone who can.

Now back to the important stuff… 😆

Morning, afternoon, evening, or night — when is YOUR perfect time on the water? 👇💙⚓️

☀️⚓️ TUESDAY BOAT TALK! ⚓️☀️

August is here, but boating season is definitely not over yet!

There are still plenty of warm days, calm evenings, fishing trips, sunset cruises, and last-minute lake adventures waiting for us. 🚤🌅

So today’s question is…

👇 What’s still on your boating bucket list before summer ends?

🎣 Catch one more big fish
🌅 Take a sunset cruise
🏖️ Spend a full day at the sandbar
🍔 Have one more family lake day
🚤 Explore a new lake
😎 Or simply get out on the water as much as possible

Drop your answer in the comments and give the rest of us some ideas!

And remember—if your boat has a little issue keeping you from enjoying the rest of the season, send Reggie a message here on Facebook. If he can help, he will. If not, he’ll point you in the right direction.

There’s still a lot of summer left to enjoy. Let’s not waste it! 💙⚓️

We hope everyone had an amazing Fourth of July weekend filled with family, friends, fireworks, and plenty of time on the water!

Now we have to ask…

👇 How was your holiday weekend?

❤️ Amazing!
💙 Good, but too short.
💛 Spent it at the lake.
💚 Stayed home and relaxed.

Or better yet…

📸 Share your favorite boating picture from the weekend in the comments! We’d love to see where everyone celebrated.

If your boat performed like a champ… that’s awesome! 🎉

If it decided to act up over the holiday (because boats seem to have a sense of humor 😅), don’t let it keep you off the water. Send Reggie a message. If he can help, he will. And if it’s not something he can take on, he’ll gladly point you in the right direction.

Here’s to the rest of an incredible summer filled with smooth water, sunny skies, and memories you’ll never forget.

Happy boating, friends! ⚓️💙
