History
Established in 1996.
In 2006, after nearly 10 years of doing business at their original 7,000 foot building and slightly more than an acre lot, The Boat Dock has expanded its entire operation to 4600 Rising Moon Road in Springfield, just off the Wabash Exit on I-72. You'll see our large building to the southeast of the exit. We're now located on seven acres with over 35,000 square feet to house our great selection of boats and service bays. From the very beginning we adopted kind of a no haggle no hassle pricing policy. Which we have carried on for the last 15 years. This philosophy has caught on in a big way and our volume purchasing has allowed us to be extremely aggressive in pricing to our consumers. This pricing philosophy has carried over to parts, accessories and even service. With eleven service bays we are able to turn around repairs quicker and the volume allows us to keep our pricing attractive across the board.
