It seems only in small towns you find businesses and people like are at Rockport Marine. Now, you…read morecan find lower prices & larger selections elsewhere, but what you wont find is knowledge, customer service and the mindset of building, fostering and maintaining relationships. I have been coming to Rockport Marine for a few years for parts for my boats and older motors. When it came time to re-power and I talked to local guides and others, the universal answer was "to go to Rockport Marine." Re-Power estimate was spot on with invoice even though they missed a couple items needed and even replaced an item they said they damaged, even though it was minor and only cosmetic and likely a result of the age of the item, not technician malfeasance or carelessness. Jeff insisted they replace it on their dime against my objection to do so as I didn't feel it warranted. Now, there were a couple of minor issues upon delivery which when found they owned and promptly corrected. A man 's or business's ability to own up to their mistakes speaks to character. Support after the sale has been epic as well, thus far and I expect in the future. The owners of the business are on site every day they are opened and will step in to take care of you if they need to, another quality not found at larger big box type places. Like one local fishing guide told me, I will tell you. Go to Rockport Marine and go nowhere else. If they don't have what you need, wait for it and let them get it. The marginal amount more you might pay is worth the level of service and support the provide.

Service long after the sale.....another uncommon experience that's not forgotten here…read more So it's been over a year since doing a re power on my boat. The new steering wheel installed by Rockport Marine as a freebie add on was getting loose and wiggly (that's a technical nautical term lol ) . For other reasons I decided to upgrade it to a smaller wheel to improve clearance between the helm and the seat. When the new one came in they assisted in what should have been a simple install that turned into a bit more. Upon inspection of the old wheel it was discovered the quality of the welds on it were sub par. Now I didn't ask for this, the owner told the cashier at ring up to only charge me the dealerships cost for the new wheel not retail price. This after a free assist in install. He said he was disappointed in the quality of the original wheel from a reputable manufacturer and the inconvenience it caused. This is service long after the sale. This is how you build lifelong relationships and customers that feel like family.
