At South Florida Boat Center, we understand the unique demands of Boca Raton’s waters. Whether you’re navigating Lake Boca Raton’s busy anchorage, passing through the Boca Raton Inlet, or cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, our expert services ensure your boat is in peak condition.
The Boca Raton Inlet is known for rough conditions, especially when east winds and outgoing tides collide. These challenges put strain on engines and steering systems, increasing the risk of breakdowns. Our boat engine diagnostics service helps detect issues early, ensuring your vessel runs reliably in Boca Raton’s demanding waterways.
Navigating Lake Boca Raton and the Intracoastal Waterway requires precision, especially in high-traffic boating areas. Our custom marine electronics solutions enhance safety with GPS, sonar, and radar installations, making it easier to maneuver shallow waters, avoid hazards, and ensure a seamless, stress-free boating experience.
Saltwater exposure, dock impacts, and rough seas can cause wear and tear on your boat’s hull, affecting both appearance and performance. Our marine paint and fiberglass repair services restore your boat’s integrity, strength, and aesthetics, ensuring long-lasting protection against Boca Raton’s harsh marine conditions.
Strong currents, saltwater corrosion, and frequent docking can weaken aluminum components over time. Our custom aluminum fabrication and repair services reinforce T-tops, railings, fuel tanks, and swim platforms, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in Boca Raton’s challenging marine environment.

At South Florida Boat Center, we specialize in repowering and refitting outboard-powered boats, ensuring you have the speed and efficiency to tackle long-range trips, handle unpredictable inlet conditions, or simply enjoy a smoother ride.
Our services range from straightforward engine replacements to complete modernizations, helping boaters get the most out of their vessels. Whether you’re upgrading for better fuel efficiency, higher horsepower, or advanced control systems, our expert technicians have experience maximizing performance on everything from center consoles to luxury tenders. If you’re looking to push your boat’s limits, we can even help transition from triple to quad engines or beyond, giving you the power to match your on-water ambitions.
