Kicking Off the Boating Season







Get Pumped!  Get Amped!  Get Fired UP!  

Boating season is only months away, and for those of us attending the New England Boat Show in Boston this week...the season has begun.  If you are not yet aware, we are living in the Gilded Age of recreational boating.  



Veteran and newbie boaters alike have more options to get on the water than any time in the history of the world.  My Great, Great, Great Grandfather Samuel Higgins was a boat builder on the Clark's Fork River near Noxon, Montana in the late 1800s.  His designs were cutting edge back then, but I wish I could transport him to 2019 and give him a spin on a 30' Bennington Pontoon with twin Yamaha 300 outboards!

There are so many exciting new boating options at Hamlin's Marina this year.  Right now we have hundreds of new boats in stock to check out including Bennington, Stingray, Mastercraft, Chris-Craft, and Scout models.  

Let me also announce an exciting new line, Scarab Jet Boats.  Scarab offers single and twin engine options from 16' to 25'.  Jet boats are an excellent option for those in shallow, rocky lakes because there are no lower units.  These boats are absolutely sick and the lack of props allow for safe surfing!  Check out footage from our maiden round trip voyage in our Scarab 215ID with twin 300 Rotax Engines from Hampden to Belfast last November...
