We have sooo many boats for sale this year! We are so grateful to all our sellers for trusting us with their boats. Now if you are looking for a boat we have a little bit of everything for every boater! The FOR SALE boats are all out in front of our fence. Go take a look and find the one that deserves you. We are going to take a couple of days off to regroup! But we will be back on Tuesday to schedule your test ride. As always if you have an emergency we are available. Before you call us check your boat plug, charge your batteries, check your kill switch and put your life jacket on! Mr. Bill and I are getting older but but still committed to helping you make memories with your family and friends on the lakes!

We have had so much fun with Teddy and Tammy! This SeaRay belonged to them before they even knew it! Once we got Teddy in the Captain's seat you could not wipe the smile off of his face! He even made Tammy climb up in the boat during the huge deluge of rain we had this week! Tammy you are a rock star! Thank you also to our seller for trusting us to sell your boat so you can find your next ride! Don't forget to put the boat plug in!

Ed and Liz are so excited to have this beautiful Harris Tritoon at their dock for the summer. We are so grateful that they let us help them get out on the lakes and have some fun! We know you will learn to navigate the waterways like pros! I suspect Liz will have the table full every chance she gets! Happy boating!

Hey all our Facebook friends otherwise known as boat customers! Tonight we wait… Mr bill left the house at 5 am. And narrowly missed a guy asleep at the wheel! We have literally worked our booties off to get everyone back on the water. People really? Do you have family emergency situations? 10 days our rock Genia was taking care of her father. So now you need to understand that life happens not only in your life but in the lives of those you depend on to make your recreation memories. So here’s the deal.. we are trying our best to get your boats ready for a great season. If you just now realized you need to get your boat ready you are probably going to be sitting on the shore. We make our plans and share them with you every year to give you the plan for the spring, if you don’t follow it that is on you. Our world does revolve around you to a point. Don’t come in at the last moment and expect preferential treatment. I don’t car if you have a Jon boat or a $100,000 plus boat we respect you all. At one time the person who owns the $100,000 once owned a Jon boat. Happy boating everyone and if you choose us you get the real us no filters! See you soon!

This weekend was another great weekend at Donley's Marine. This awesome SeaArk found a new home. Wes and Karla are really excited to add this to their fleet. This 2012 boat only had 262 hours on it and is ready for whatever adventure they decide to go on. Thanks to our sellers for trusting us to find the right buyer. Now they are on to their next adventure in boating as well! By the way if you are looking for a certain type of boat in a particular price range get on our list and be the first to know when we get something in that might fit your needs.

Check this out Chris drove over 8 hours just to come pick up this jewel of a Ranger boat from us. He even says one of his favorite places to fish is Lake Barkley! That's awesome now he has an almost new boat (only 30.7 hours on this one!) to check out some more places in the Land Between the Lakes area! They even picked up some brochures and maps of fun things to do here. I suspect we will get to see them again. Thanks for making the trip to Donley's Marine!
