After several months of research, I decided to purchase a Lund as my first boat. I spoke with several dealers about prices and service. 
I met Joe Troutt and some of this staff at a local boat show. I was so impressed with their friendliness and knowledge, I decided to buy my boat from them. They gave me a terrific deal on and Explorer 1800. It was worth the drive from Saint Louis to Saint James. 
They advised me on the motor, electronics and trailer, then set up the boat just the way I wanted it. When the boat was ready for delivery, they explained trailering, maintenance, and all the features of the boat and motor. Filling out the paperwork took just a few minutes. 
All transactions were handled professionally and efficiently. 
Since then, I have also used Troutt and Sons for service. I can usually drop off my boat, drive into St. James for breakfast, and my boat is ready for the lake later that morning. When I have a question about service or parts, I can contact them by phone or email. They always seem to have the right answers and parts. 
I highly recommend Troutt and Sons for your boating needs. They are professional, efficient, and courteous.
