Ethanol in Fuel for Boats

Did you know that if you buy "Regular" fuel you buy on the highway and bring it to your boat in jerry cans, you may actually be causing your self more expense in the long run? Did you know that Len's Cove actually sells "High Test" or premium fuel at our pumps that has a significantly lower ethanol content?

Many more can be found on line like this. Filling your boat with less expensive gas may be costing you more, and is environmentally unsound. Consider supporting your local marina by buying fuel from the experts so that the service continues in the future.

Ottawa Boat Show-Why Should I buy at a Show?

Summer is coming; can you feel the difference in the air? The days are longer, and the crisp air is not quite as biting. At Len's Cove we always feel that the Ottawa Boat and Sportsman Show is the signal that we are "all down-hill from here". After the show, the pace of life at Len's Cove moves from steady and productive, to crazy and intense! Because it gets so much more involved, we really encourage people to take the opportunity that Ottawa affords us to shop for their boat. Think of it less as a "show" and more of a "sale".

One of the questions we get asked most often is "Why should I bother buying a boat at a boat show?"  We can sum it up in 5 ways why buying at the Ottawa Boat Show is a smart decision:

1.THE BEST SELECTION OF THE YEAR! With our Used Boats, New Non-Currents, and 2011 models, Len’s Cove Marina either has your boat or can get it on time for the season! Our inventory selection is at it's peak as we enter the Ottawa Boat Show.

2. AGGRESSIVE PRICING AND MANUFACTURERS PROGRAM. All of our manufacturers (MasterCraft, Rinker, Hurricane, AquaPatio, Sweetwater, PolarKraft) all have rebates tied directly to the boat show. The sale must be completed at the show to qualify. On top of that, Len's Cove is as aggressive as ever with our own show specials also.

3. LIMITED 2011 PRODUCTION AND STOCK! Although our manufacturers have slowly increased production levels over the low of 2009, they are still no where close to the levels of 2001-2008. They are keeping it artificially low to keep dealer inventories low. In the past we'd stock 8 of every 10 boats we sell. Now it's 4 of every 10. Don't miss out on picking what you want! Custom orders will be all but done for 2011after the show.

4. THE BEST FINANCING RATES! In our industry, it’s widely known that the best financing rates occur during Boat Shows. We saw it in Toronto, and we’ll see it again in Ottawa. The great people at Walker Financial will be with us in our booth to answer any questions and provide valuable information. Don’t miss out on great rates that won’t last!

5. THE BEST TRADE-IN VALUES! If a new boat purchase means trading in your existing boat, we’re here to help! Our knowledgeable staff can do trade assessments at the Show to give you the best value for your boat. Why wait for spring to sell your boat privately when we can help get you into your new boat much sooner. The tax savings are attractive, too – sell your boat while the market is hot!

Don't take just our word for it. Here is another prospective from the team at Discover Boating.
