Aaron Crampton says he established Southlake Marine “out of a love for boating and fishing.” Southlake Marine opened in April 2006, but Crampton has a total of 15 years of experience in the boating and fishing business.

 

New and used boats as well as a wide range of parts, equipment and supplies are available at Southlake Marine. “We have an excellent selection of quality new and pre-owned boats, and trades are always welcome,” Crampton says, adding that Southlake Marine specializes in bass boats. Brand names include Mercury, Evinrude and Yamaha.

 

Crampton also has full-time certified technicians to provide professional service and repairs. He says it’s important to him for customers to be satisfied when they leave his business. “We provide quality inboard/outboard repair that you can trust.”

 

In addition, Southlake Marine offers “financing, warranty programs and great customer service,” according to Crampton. It also sponsors an annual bass tournament.

 

“Boating and fishing have become a way of life for a lot of people,” Crampton says. “It’s good clean fun for the whole family, and as a full-service marina and boat dealer, we love being a part of that in any way we can.”
