Bio

Welcome to Duncan’s Boats Your Lowcountry Family Boating Center for 50 Years We have the widest selection of boats for your family in the Lowcountry. While many dealers concentrate on one type of boat, we concentrate on one type of boater, the family boater. With three great brands (Bayliner, Regal, and Tidewater) covering the spectrum from family value to high end class, we offer bowriders, deck boats, center consoles, dual consoles, bay boats, cruisers and yachts. If you need help in making your selection, feel free call or visit—we’re always ready to serve you. Duncan’s Boats prides itself on having the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff in the Lowcountry. It is our goal to help our customers find the perfect boat to fit their lifestyle, along with just the right parts and accessories. The boat business has had a phenomenal year and as a result, inventory is scare and production lead times are much longer than normal. While our inventory is very low, at Duncan’s Boats we have a few available production slots. We are happy to offer virtual walk throughs of the inventory in stock and have stock walk through videos on most available boats. It may take longer to get your boat, but you could build it to meet your special needs. Duncan’s Boats is a family-owned, second generation dealership conveniently located on the Ashley River in North Charleston, SC. For over 50 years we have been committed to serving each customer with excellence, integrity and professionalism. From the minute you walk through the door, exceeding your expectations is our top priority. Call (843) 483-8979 or visit today!

SHRINK WRAPPING For Winter Season Protection, Shrink wrap is the best means of protecting your boat from the snow and ice during those long, cold, and windy winter months. It’ll keep your boat warm when the sun shines and dry on even the worst of days. Contact us for a quote on shrink wrapping your boat today. SPRING START-UP Many boats don’t get much use during the winter holiday season. We offer a spring start up service where we will assess the condition of the boat systems, engine running condition, and river test the boat to catch any issues before the first trip out with friends and family. Contact us for Spring Start Up Services today. WINTERIZATION- I/O AND STERN DRIVES Unlike outboard motors, the cooling passages in Sterndrive Motors are horizontal. This doesn’t promote natural draining of the cooling system when trimmed down. We recommend running antifreeze through the motor to provide freeze protection during harsh winter months. Fuel systems not being used over several months have the potential to build up varnish & corrosion inside the lines. Injectors sitting static also have the potential to stick. Our mixture run through the fuel system helps prevent both of these from occurring. WINTERIZATION - OUTBOARDS Outboards with self draining cooling systems don’t have as many concerns for freeze damage as I/O and Sterndrive counterparts. There are however many off season storage considerations. The boat fuel tank must be treated & outboard fuel system treated to prevent seizing of fuel injection components from lack of use. Carbureted outboards must be treated to prevent internal components from sticking and fuel phase separating, leading to costly repairs down the road.
