Great Wakes Marine is the new name and brand of Lewellen Enterprises LLC. We are the same family business offering great deals on the boats you want. Although we have had great success the past 7 years as Lewellen Enterprises we believe that this new name will be a more appropriate fit for the future of our company and better convey the focus of our business.
Boating has been a vital part of our family for over 20 years and some of our best memories were made out on the water. We want to provide our customers with a quality boat at a great price so they can enjoy similar experiences. We highly recommend an inspection from a local certified marine mechanic.

Very disappointed with my experience at this dealer. My family drove from Portland to Springfield to look at a ski/wakeboard boat from Great Wakes. Told Tim ahead of time we wanted to test drive it and ski behind the boat to get a feel for the wake. When we got there, he wouldn't let us ski and wouldn't even put the boat in the water unless we signed paperwork and committed to buying the boat. We wouldn't have wasted 6 hrs of our day on a cold fall afternoon if we weren't serious about buying. What dealer expects someone to pay $30,000 for a 13 year old boat without being able to test drive it

I bought a boat from here at the end of December, 2019 and they were super friendly and helpful. Pricing was fair and they threw in a bunch of used stuff like dock lines, life jackets, etc. -- so I could take it right out on the water. They encouraged a full boat inspection since it was sold as is without warranty. It was well worth the peace of mind for that. Icing on the cake: in April 2020 I found that the battery wasn't holding a charge after sitting over the winter and without hesitation they exchanged it for a good one even though I had no warranty on it. That is amazing service! Give these

Tim and Mitch were great to work with. We traveled from out of state so it was important that we knew what the boat was like before we arrived. We had the boat performance tested by the boat doctor which was very helpful. A year later we are still enjoying our time on the water. We purchased a 2016 Yamaha 212X.

Called and left a message for Tim regarding a boat that was just listed. Tim did not return my call so I called back and he told me he was aware I wanted a call back. Asked if the boat I wanted was still available and told him we wanted to buy it and what I needed to do. Tim stated he would send me the application for financing; however the financing company would close in the next couple of hours so we may not hear back till the morning. He said he would have the closing docs completed after hearing back from the finance company. Explained we live 2.5 hours away and we want the boat. He

Just purchased a used Sea Ray from these guys and couldn't be happier with the whole process from start to finish.
Working with Tim was great. Not pushy at all and felt like he was honest about everything the whole time. Also got what we felt was a great deal on the boat, especially given how good of condition it was in. Had it inspected by the Boat Doc and Tim took care the few little things that came up during the inspection.
Overall great experience - wouldn't hesitate buying my next boat from these guys or recommending them to anyone we know.
Now the long wait for summer so I

Had a really good experience with Great wakes marina. I purchased a used boat from Tim. The boat was very well priced and in great condition. It was about 4-5k below the low Nada value (with add ons). Naturally, when something is so well priced, suspicions are raised. I had a buyers pre inspection done (which I highly recommend) by the boat doctor. Refer to my review of the boat doctor, also highly recommended. Tim was honest about the small problems the boat had, such as a ballast gate not closing and the horn not activating. The cover was also torn from the transport up form California. The boat

I could not be happier with our experience with Great Wakes. The communication was top notch! The facility was clean and organized, the staff is knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and eager to help. The boat we purchased was described on the website and by Tim on the phone honestly and it exceeded my expectations when we arrived to view the boat, this was a relief as we drove 240 miles to get the thing. I feel the Mastercraft was priced fair to just a little below the market value.
In short, Great company, great experience, great boat, awesome deal!
The next time we are in the market for a boat

Recently lost my wife to cancer and decided to sell the family boat because it just brought back too many memories. Had a difficult time trying to close deal with buyers off CL and I just didn't want to put up with it. Ken and his father Don got in contact with my son and we were able to make a deal to take the boat off my hands. I was not only pleased with their respectful offer, but admired how well they treated us as customers and made the process so easy. If ever in the future I'm in the market for a boat, Great Wakes Marine will be first on my list!

If you are wanting something for summer water fun, here is the place to look. The staff was very helpful in answering all my questions, not the typical pushy salesman types and had a nice selection in my price range. Even though I couldn't make up my mind and kept bugging them, they were awesome. Would gladly recommend them to anyone looking.

I purchased a 2007 Centurion in March '16 and as any smart buyer of a used vessel, I had a mechanic check out the boat prior to purchasing. They recommended The Boat Doc in Springfield. After his "inspection", I made the purchase and blew the transmission in June because of a bad impeller (which wasn't recommended to change before using). If you are going to buy a used boat from these guys, take it somewhere else for an inspection. $3500 and a full summer of repair, I'm hoping we are ready to hit the water in 2017.

I was very impressed with this business for a couple of reasons. First off, it is a family-ran business and it was obvious these guys are all about integrity. I personally met with Don, Tim and Mitch. I told them I was interested in a boat but had to drive 5 hours to reach them. They took me at my word and let other potential buyers know I had "first right of refusal" on the boat I wanted, which is exactly what I did.
When I was able to see the boat, Don and I spoke about what my plans were for using it. After listening to me, he spoke up stating the boat I wanted may not be the right fit for
