Cope Marine Service Department

Cope Marine can provide you with 100% custom fit, handcrafted boat covers. We use the finest top quality materials. Along with our 40 years of experience and expert workmanship, we can create a custom-made boat cover, bow cover, cockpit cover, pontoon cover, or any marine cover at a very competitive price.

Covering your boat has many benefits, including:

Extends the life of your upholstery and accessories

Protects the boat from scratches and dings Keeps bugs, bird droppings, and unwanted rodents from the interior

Decreases the likelihood of theft of accessories from within the boat

Minimizes the amount of time you have to clean prior to launch of your boat by  keeping bugs, bird droppings, and unwanted rodents from the interior

Helps maintain the overall quality of your boat which means a higher resell value.

You love your boat and the enjoyment it provides. A boat cover helps you maintain the value of your investment and extends the time you have to enjoy your boat.

While white fiberglass boats do, on average, require less maintenance, they are not without problems. Your boat might suffer from damage from collisions, fatigue, and moisture, but we have you covered! We do gelcoat repairs as well as metal flake! There's no job too big or small for us!

Here at Cope Marine, we want you to have the best boating experience possible. That's why we strongly encourage you to utilize our 48 Line Inspection of that pre-owned boat and trailer you are considering adding to your recreational lifestyle before making a financial commitment to buy. This inspection is the same one we use on all our boats, and includes checking compression, vital fluids, and overall running condition, to name a few.

This serves as a two-fold benefit; It provides you with confidence that your new boat will perform well and that the price is fair to both you and the seller.

We have a large selection of pre-owned boat packages here and a warranty can be an essential component of a used package purchase. Any questions? Please contact us! We're here to help!

Aluminum Welding: We do aluminum welding on trailers or boats - pontoons included!

Appraisals: Insurance evaluation and accidental damage for repair.

Upholstery Repair: Unexpected tear? Rotten seats? Brand new interior to old - bring it in and we'll reupholster your interior to make it look brand new again!

We have trained technicians that work on all the major brands. We have a HUGE parts inventory and can get the part you need!

Bent or broken propeller? We may be able to repair it for you!

A prop repair is typically less than 1/2 the price of buying a new one. Propeller repair includes the following:

Straighten bent blades

Restore all blades to correct pitch using pitch blocks and gauges

Weld and fill blades as necessary

Aluminum props will be painted and stainless steel props will be finished in either satin, high gloss, or painted finish as appropriate

Hub replacement is also available in cases of excessive wear and/or slippage

Not all propellers can be repaired, but bring yours in and we would be happy to take a look at it for you!

As winter comes to a close, it's time for marine enthusiasts to start thinking about getting their boats ready for the Spring. To ensure a boat is safe and running well, there are a number of items a boat owner should inspect and address before getting back on the water.
