Our Process

The Commissioning Checklist

Every boat and pontoon goes through all ten steps before we consider it ready. No shortcuts, no guesswork.

Battery Test, Charge & Hookup

Battery is tested for health, fully charged, and properly connected before any other systems are checked.

Ignition Check

Engine start sequence verified, key fob and ignition switch tested, and any starting issues identified before launch.

Lights & Gauges

All navigation lights, courtesy lights, and instrument gauges are checked for proper operation.

All Fluid Levels

Engine oil, gear oil, power steering, and hydraulic trim fluid are all inspected and topped off as needed.

Freshwater System Flush

If applicable, the freshwater system is flushed of any antifreeze or residual winterization fluid before the season begins.

Engine & Outdrive Inspection

Visual inspection of the engine compartment, outdrive, bellows, and gimbal bearing for any off-season wear or concerns.

Steering & Shifting Mechanisms

Steering, throttle, and shift cables are inspected for smooth operation. Any stiffness or binding is addressed before delivery.

Drain Plug Installation

Drain plug is properly seated and verified watertight before the boat is launched or loaded onto the trailer for delivery.

Fuel Top-Off Before Delivery

Unless otherwise requested, all delivered units are fueled up before they leave our facility — so your first outing starts full.

Launch, Delivery, or Lot Pickup

We launch for your customer pickup, deliver directly to your hoist, or have your boat ready for lot pickup — whichever works best for you.
