Schock Boats

I reside in Chicago but own property in San Diego. As a 60^th birthday gift to myself I wanted to purchase a boat to keep in Mission Bay in San Diego. Specifically a Boston Whaler Outrage 250. I was referred to Schock Boats located in Newport Beach. I contacted Schock Boats and my sales person was Gary Hess. Gary worked with me during the whole process making this long distance purchase as easy as possible. In addition to assistance in ordering a new Whaler he and his staff was instrumental is helping me pick out electronics, obtaining financing and insurance coverage. On delivery day Gary organized a sea trial which included Carlos the boat delivery captain for Schock Boats and spent numerous hours going through a complete orientation of my new boat. The following day Carlos along with myself and a boating buddy drove the boat from Newport down to San Diego, during this trip down again Carlos provided us with invaluable information regarding the boat. I would highly recommend Gary Hess and the Schock Boat team for any purchase if your interested in purchasing a boat. When the time comes for me to upgrade to a bigger boat the only phone call I will make is to Schock Boats.

In the vernacular of today’s youth. Schock boats is Dope. Bought montauk 170. Having a fun time with it. Great transaction.

We did our due diligence when looking to purchase our new Boston Whaler 315 Conquest.
The Schock Team was professional and extremely knowledgeable Jim Hatch in sales never tried to up-​sell any options or pressure us in any way. Carlos in Electronics went out of his way in meeting our various requests for a state of the art, yet, user friendly entertainment system. Carlos also assisted with delivery and operational training. He is a «fountain of knowledge“on anything and everything boat related.
We absolutely LOVE our boat and give major kudos to the Schock team.

I agree, Jim is a solid guy.

After spending my time bank fishing and suffering through the redneck party fishing barge experience, I decided it was high time to get my own boat for offshore and freshwater fishing (and general family recreation). After much research, I decided to go with Boston Whaler. Living in Central California, I had the option of choosing several dealers for my purchase. After speaking to several dealers in Northern, Central, and Southern California, I had the opportunity to do business with Schock Boats.
I worked with a great salesman — first name Jim — at Schock. I could not have asked for a better experience. He was patient with my litany of questions, no matter how amateurish they were. He didn’t pressure me and went out of his way to make sure I had a good buying experience. We did 99% of the transaction via email and phone. My father in law and I went down on the fateful day, did a walk through on the boat, and one hour later, I was headed home with a new boat, all smiles.
If you are in the market for an ocean going vessel and don’t want to waste your time with bad sales tactics, I highly recommend you give them a try — ask for Jim at Schock Boats. I live 4 hours away and it was worth the trip.
