About Us
OUR HISTORY
In 1964, John Schwarzel started SCHWARZEL MARINE with one goal in mind, to be the best. After 41 years, SCHWARZEL MARINE is the service leader in the Ohio River valley. We have earned the reputation, "If you want it fixed, take it to Schwarzel's".
Thru the years the Schwarzel family dealership has won more service awards than ANY Marine dealer in the Ohio River valley. Very few dealers can make this claim. Of this accomplishment we are very proud.
SCHWARZEL MARINE has been featured in such fine fishing magazines as Bassmaster, Basstimes, Bassin', Fur-Fish and Game, Bass fishing and Midwest tournament angler. Many outdoor writers contact Schwarzel's when they write stories about outboard motors and bass boat set up.
OUR WRENCH MEN
With over 75 years total marine experience, the technicians at Schwarzel's have the knowledge and training to set up and service your boat right. You see we aren't a johnie come lately.
John and Blaine Schwarzel both hold the Master Technician award for Johnson and Evinrude outboards. John has held the award since 1979, the first year of the program. Blaine has held the award since 1988. Less than 8% of all technicians in North America hold this ward.
JUST FISHIN' BOATS
SCHWARZEL MARINE has made a choice to sell and service fishing boats. Why? Schwarzel Marine knows anglers. Did I mention that the Schwarzel's are tournament accomplished fishermen too?
Performance rigged by SCHWARZEL MARINE, is more than just our motto. We take extreme pride in every boat we rig! No cookie cutter rig jobs here. No boat factory half done rig jobs, we do it right. We custom rig each boat to each fisherman. How they fish, the water they navigate, to how they use their rig, we rig each boat to that fisherman's needs. Then we water test EACH boat, that's right, every rig is water tested, to ensure that the trolling motor, depth finders and live well pumps work, then we test performance and handling. Each new owner is taken to the water and given operational information on the boat/motor package. That's why more pro fishermen run rigs, rigged by SCHWARZEL MARINE than any other dealer in the valley.
