Frequently asked

Straight answers about pricing, coverage and how the work happens on Lake Ouachita.

Do you come to the boat, or do I bring it to you?

We come to you. The crew is mobile across Lake Ouachita and works at marina slips, lifts, trailers and driveways in Mount Ida, Hot Springs and Mountain Pine.

Are the prices on this site what I will pay?

They are honest estimate ranges published so you know the neighborhood before asking. The written quote after we see the boat, or photos of it, is the actual price.

How fast do quotes come back?

Within one business day, usually faster in season. The form takes about a minute.

What areas do you cover?

Mount Ida, Hot Springs and Mountain Pine, with mobile coverage across the Lake Ouachita shoreline. Nearby boats are usually reachable too; ask with the form.

Are you insured?

Yes, fully insured, and a certificate of insurance is available for any marina that requires one.

Do you work at my marina?

We work dockside at marinas across the lake, including Mountain Harbor, Lake Ouachita Shores, Shangri-La, Little Fir Landing, the state park marina and Echo Canyon. Dock access is arranged with the marina directly.

Why is winterization a flat rate when everything else is by the foot?

Because the work scales with the engine and systems, not the hull length. An outboard, a sterndrive and an inboard are different jobs on the same length of boat.

Do you detail houseboats?

Yes, dockside where she is moored. Houseboats are by-the-foot like everything else; the length is what moves the number.

What if my boat is heavily oxidized?

Heavy oxidation is our most common correction. It runs above a standard compound because it takes multiple passes; the quote spells out which level the boat needs and why.

Can I book a specific date through the site?

The site collects quote requests, not bookings. Scheduling is arranged with the crew after you approve the written quote, which keeps the calendar honest.
