March has been a busy month weather wise for many parts of the country. The kids are finishing "spring break" and tax season is getting into high gear. Let's take a moment to break away from the day-to-day life, and fantasize about the upcoming boating season...

Houseboating is constantly growing in popularity and there's so many new things to see & learn. This is where we can help you "get the most" out of your boats & boating activities.


The world's first retractable thruster

Let's be honest, handling a houseboat can often turn into a HIGHLY stressful situation that removes any fun out of docking or maneuvering. What if there was an inexpensive, and easy to install solution to allow you to DOCK like a Pro!

On a personal note, I too have a bow thruster on my houseboat, and it absolutely made a HUGE night & day difference in my boat control. It's my best piece of equipment, and has removed ANY & ALL the stress when in really tight difficult situations.
