Question 1

How far is Lake Erie from Robbco Marine?

Accepted Answer

About 2 hours, 120 miles north — depending on whether you're aiming for Sandusky, Port Clinton, Marblehead, or further east toward Vermilion. We do scheduled delivery runs to the Erie corridor in spring and fall.

Question 2

Do you sell boats rated for Lake Erie conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but with honest expectations. For serious Erie offshore work (Lake Erie Islands, walleye runs in the western basin) you want a deep-V hull with at least 200 HP, dual batteries, and proper electronics. We'll spec a G3 deep-V or order an appropriate Yamaha SX-rigged boat and deliver it to your Erie address. For inshore Erie use (Sandusky Bay, the islands on a calm day, family cruising in protected water), our pontoon and WaveRunner lineup works well.

Question 3

Will you store my Lake Erie boat for the winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and a lot of Erie owners take us up on it specifically to get the boat away from lake-effect winter weather. Heated indoor storage in Hebron, pickup arranged from your marina or driveway, full winterization, shrink wrap if needed, and delivery back in spring. We'll quote it as one package.

Question 4

Why drive to a Hebron shop for an Erie boat?

Accepted Answer

Three reasons. First, lakeshore dealerships pay premium rent and pass it on — we're cheaper on parts and labor for the same factory-authorized service. Second, our queue is shorter outside of Erie's peak-season crush. Third, our winter storage costs significantly less than lakeshore options and gets your boat out of a Lake Erie winter.
