We are also a dealer for Avid Boats and specialize in Yamaha Outboard repowers. My name is Troy Shields, I founded Troy Marine in October of 1998 with the principle of offering good quality products and service at a fair price. As a small child boating was just as natural part of life as much as breathing. My mother was carrying my brothers and I while she was actively boating with my father . G
rowing up with boats learning how to care for them, fishing and playing on boatsman the Elizabeth River and Chesapeake Bay being my playground has created my passion for this lifestyle. My parents and grandparents taught me early in life that nothing is worth doing unless you do it with Integrity and Passion for whatever in life you do. In my family I am 4th generation involved in the boating business as many of my relatives were commercial waterman, boat builders and avid boating fanatics. Thus, the reason for Troy Marine's existence. As i worked my way up from a boatyard laborer at 16 ,to a mechanic, fiberglass, woodworker, boat builder to doing sales, to a general manager and at 38 an owner my own company.. All of this for the love of the boating lifestyle as many other things in life would have been easier if it were all about the money. Riding on my first power catamaran in 1992 with four stroke outboards and then being the first Bermuda Challenge winner running a 26 ft Glacier Bay with four stroke outboards on the wildest but craziest seas to ever experience having made me a firm believer in Power Catamarans.
