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.

⚓️ Need Help With Your Boat? ⚓️

As many of you know, I still enjoy working on boats in my free time. While The Boat Shop isn’t the full-time operation it once was, my passion for helping fellow boat owners hasn’t changed.

If you’re having an issue, need advice, want a boat looked at, or just aren’t sure where to start, send me a message here on Facebook.

If it’s something I can help with, I’d be happy to take a look. If it’s not something I can take on, I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction.

I’ve been fortunate to help a lot of great people over the years, and I appreciate every call, message, and recommendation.

Whether you need service, guidance, or just have a question, don’t hesitate to reach out.

🇺🇸⚓️ MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND – THE OFFICIAL START OF BOATING SEASON ⚓️🇺🇸

This weekend means sunshine, lake days, family, friends, and making memories on the water… but most importantly, it’s a time to pause and honor the brave men and women who made those freedoms possible.

💙 And the families who stand beside them every step of the way

Because freedom — and weekends like this — never came free.
