Another beautiful Xpress headed to the water! 🎣

A big THANK YOU to Alvin Fults for choosing Shipp’s Marine for his new 2026 Xpress XP170, powered by a Yamaha F70LB3!

This is a sharp combination on this one! The Yamaha F70LB3 features the matte brown finish, which looks right at home with the boat’s upgraded brown interior. This rig just looks like it belongs on the water!

The XP170 is a great all-around size — small enough to get into the rivers and backwaters, but big enough to comfortably fish the lake. It will be especially at home winding through the cypress trees and shallow water of Caddo Lake.

And Alvin picked a great time to buy! Yamaha’s Summer Sunset Sales Event added 2 additional years of Yamaha warranty, giving him a total of 5 years of coverage on his new F70.

Congratulations, Mr. Fults! We sincerely appreciate your business and the opportunity to be a part of your new boat purchase. We hope you make a lot of great memories and catch plenty of fish out of this one!

Thinking about a new boat or repower of your own? Now is the time. Yamaha’s Summer Sunset Sales Event ends September 9, 2026, so come see us and take advantage of the additional warranty while it’s still available!

Congratulations to David & Connie Cooksy on their new 2026 Xpress H17C Crappie! 🎣

The Cooksys picked out one heck of a fishing rig! Their new H17C is equipped with a Garmin 93SV at the dash and a Garmin 106SV up front with LiveScope — giving them everything they need to chase crappie, bass, or whatever else decides to bite!

This boat is rigged, ready, and headed for the water!

We’re excited for the Cooksy crew and truly appreciate David & Connie choosing Shipp’s Marine for their new boat. We hope they make a ton of great memories and put plenty of fish in it!

Thank you, David & Connie, and congratulations on the new Xpress! 🎣🚤

🔥 **2026 WELDBILT 1652 / YAMAHA F40 PACKAGE** 🔥

💥 **PACKAGE PRICE — $15,995 + TTL** 💥

Looking for a tough, simple, dependable jon boat package built for **rivers, backwater and shallow-water use?** We just put this one together!

🚤 **2026 WeldBilt 1652**
• Full floor
• Running lights
• (2) side liveboxes
• Split rear seat
• Battery & box

⚙️ **2026 Yamaha F40LEHA**
• 40 HP Four-Stroke
• Tiller steer

One of the things that makes this motor a great match for this boat is its **manual tilt with lift assist**.

🛞 **2025 Yacht Club Galvanized Trailer**

The galvanized finish provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion, helping extend the life of the trailer and making it an excellent choice for years of launching in both fresh and saltwater.

☀️ **YAMAHA SUMMER SUNSET SALES EVENT** ☀️

Purchase during Yamaha's current promotion and receive **2 ADDITIONAL YEARS OF YAMAHA WARRANTY**—giving you a total of **5 YEARS OF WARRANTY COVERAGE!**

⏰ **Yamaha promotion ends September 9, 2026.**

A huge THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to Robert Samford on his beautiful new 2027 Phoenix!

Robert special ordered this boat and put together one heck of a rig. From the outstanding color combination to the equipment he selected, he took the time to build this Phoenix exactly the way he wanted it—and the finished product is absolutely gorgeous!

But the best part for us was getting to be a part of the process.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Robert from the initial order all the way through handing him the keys. There’s something special about watching a customer’s vision for a new boat go from choices on an order sheet to the real thing sitting in front of them.

Robert, you absolutely deserve this boat, and we sincerely appreciate you trusting Shipp’s Marine to help make it happen.

Thank you for your business, your trust and for allowing us to be a part of the experience!

Now go enjoy that new Phoenix! You’ve got one heck of a boat! 🎣🔥

A big thank you to Craig Christian for choosing Shipp’s Marine to repower his Xpress with a new 2026 Yamaha F25SWHC!

Craig serves as the Chief of the Rusk County Fire and Rescue Unit, so it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about the importance of having reliable equipment when you need it.

We appreciate Craig putting his trust in Yamaha for his new power—and in Shipp’s Marine to get him back on the water!

Thank you for your business, Craig, and even more importantly, thank you for your service to the communities of Rusk County. We appreciate what you and your fellow first responders do for East Texas! 🚒

Enjoy the new Yamaha! 🎣⚓️

We want to give a big THANK YOU to Zaden Zhorne on the purchase of his new 2026 WeldBilt 1548 powered by a Yamaha F25LWHC!

What makes this one especially cool is the story behind it.

Zaden is still in high school. He worked hard, saved his money and studied his available options before zeroing in on exactly the boat and motor package he wanted.

That’s a pretty darn good game plan for buying a boat—and an even better game plan for life.

Hard work. Save. Do your research. Set a goal. Then go make it happen. 💪

That kind of discipline and decision-making will serve this young man well in whatever he chooses to do in the future.

Congratulations, Zaden! We appreciate you choosing Shipp’s Marine and are proud to have earned your business. Enjoy that new WeldBilt and Yamaha—you earned it! 🎣⚓️

A big thank you to Joseph Boney for choosing Shipp’s Marine for his repower!

Joseph picked up this 2026 Yamaha F25SWHC3 in Yamaha’s matte brown finish—and as you can see, it looks right at home on his camouflage boat! That finish is a great choice for hunters and outdoorsmen wanting an outboard that blends perfectly with their setup.

We truly appreciate Joseph trusting Shipp’s Marine with his new Yamaha and appreciate his business!

Enjoy the new power, Joseph! We hope it serves you well for many years to come!
