Dock Notes: Dirty bottom? When is the last time you’ve cleaned your
bottom? Not that bottom… the bottom of your boat! With the summer already in full effect
the water temperatures are in the high 70’s and low 80’s already in our basin and inshore
waters. This means only one thing: growth, growth, and more growth. This time of year the
underwater life is rapidly expanding mussels’ barnacles and the lovely green slime that coats
the bottoms of our beautiful investments. It is time to start lining up divers to periodically
keep these unsightly, performance robbing, damaging creatures at bay. Did you know that on an
infested boat it could rob you of almost 1.5 mpg in fuel burn? If you are noticing the fuel burn on
your boat is steadily increasing and can’t remember the last time you had your bottom
scrapped clean then it’s most likely a good sign to get this problem fixed. We have crews that
come through the marina on periodic schedules to help ensure our boaters investments are
performing like they should. If you would like more information on how to be put on the schedule
contact Debra in the service department or me here at the Fuel dock and we will get you headed
in the right direction. Thanks and above all get out and enjoy the water, its definitely warm.
We are most definitely in the boating season! Beach Marine Boat Sales has added 50 new members to the Beach Marine family with many of them staying right here. If you have considered a new boat for your family, now is the time. We have a great selection of new and used boats for just about every purpose on the water. Make sure you ask for Bob, Chris, David, or Justin and we will be happy to help you find your dream boat!
Boat of the Month: 2014 Scout 221 Winyah Bay Our 221 Winyah Bay combines the very best inshore and near‐shore angling with the same durability as the other bay boats in a more tournament‐styled fishing boat package. Thanks to its Yamaha power, remarkable 12” draft and ability to perform remarkably well in rough water; this center console provides tremendous fishability. Features include a low‐profile design, ample casting space via a fore and aft raised casting deck, six lockable rod storage compartments and three vertical rod racks. Very nicely equipped for just $49,999!!
Trailers! Trailers! Everywhere! Trailers need TLC! Trailers are an expensive thing to purchase and repair, constantly dipped in and out of salt/brackish water here in Jacksonville. It can be a job on its own just to wash and rinse down all of the nooks and crannies to get the salt washed off. I had a customer take his boat to the Keys for his annual vacation and the trip down was uneventful…but the trip home was another story; 2 tire blowouts made for a long stressful drive!
Many of you drop off your trailer for storage when you enter the dry stack, for the first time, and don’t see it again until 2, 3, 4 years later when you need to use it for a road trip. Trailers need regular upkeep to remain in trailer-able condition. Maybe come down a few weeks in advance of that road trip and check the tires, breaks and lights to make sure you aren’t setting yourself up for that “long stressful drive”.

Featured Product: Sea Doo Seascooter The 2014 scalloping season on the West coast of Florida this year is July 1st through September 24. Scallops are easily harvested with a net and snorkeling gear in shallow water. Bay scallops pan seared served over rice drizzled with basil oil is to die for.
Our featured product this month will help facilitate your enjoyment of catching and consuming these delicious marine bivalve mollusks. The Sea Doo Seascooter under water propulsion device will allow you to cover more area with less effort. You can be propelled at 3.7MPH for 75 minutes of normal use and 30 minutes of continuous, powered by a Li-ion battery. The Sea Doo Seascooter is rated to operate to a depth of 130 feet, the scallops are found in depths of 5 to 15 feet. The kit that we stock in your ship store includes two fins and 4 ballast. We offer this fun and practical product for $849.98. See you in Crystal River this season and I will share my method of cooking the catch. A word of caution, always have someone on board who knows how to operate the vessel when you are in the water. –JT White, Ship Store
20% off labor on Battery Installation
When you want to go out on your boat, you expect it to crank up as soon as you turn that key, right? Let’s start with the basics‐ your batteries, charging system, corrosion on cables, loose cables, and battery switches are all issues that may cause starters to fail or electronics to not work properly due to voltage dropping. SIMPLE FIXES! Let our service department crank up the engine for you a week or so before you’re going to take the family out on the water‐ we’ll ensure your time on the water is effortless! Don’t forget about our flush and wash program. Sign up in the dry stack office or email us at [email protected] to set up an appointment. Our detailing department also offers wet sanding, compounding, waxing, and chrome work that your boat my need to look like new. Let us do the work while you play.
