When your on the hunt for a new outboard this spring, I would suggest giving Vans Sport Center a look. We have a large inventory of new outboard motors from all of the top brand names in the outboard industry. Having such a large inventory allows us to stock our showroom with a diverse variety of motors for our customers to have side-by-side comparions of the different brands and models offered. We find this benefitial for the customers who may not know exactly which motor they are looking to purchase. What really sets us part from other dealers would have to be the fact that we have an impressive used outboard motor inventroy as well. So whether your looking to start fresh or just upgrade to something a little newer, Vans Sport Center has the motor for you.

Our new outboard inventory is made up of all the major brands such as Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Evinrude, and Tohatsu. We stock every size outboard from the smaller 2.5hp portables all the way up to the larger 150hp outboards. We typically only stock up to 150hp because we found that to generally be the max horsepower our Michigan recreational boaters repower with. Although that doesn't mean we won't order anything larger for those who may need a little more motor such as bass boats and big water rigs. We can get you the largest horsepower on the market from any manufacturer, we just don't stock them due to their low demand.

When you walk into our showroom you will see a nice selection of outboards hanging side-by-side one another. This allows our customer to easily compare the various brands and models that we carry. We feel having variety of outboards on display helps our customers to see the difference in features, size, color, and price first hand rather than looking at a brochure or website images. The racks in our showroom generally have 20 plus motors on display ranging from your smaller portable models such as the 2.5hp up to the 40hp remote models. We also have a large spinning rack that holds six larger motor of different brands in the 50-90hp range. Anything larger usually stays in the crate until installation due to their size.

If the price of a new motor is just outside your budget, we also have a used outboard motor inventory you can browse. We try to stock multiple brands in both two and four stroke outboards in as many horsepower sizes that we can get our hands on. Most of what you will see in our used inventory are going to be two stroke motors simply because that technology has been around a lot longer than four strokes have. Plus we are kind of at that transition point were everyone is trading in their two stroke motors for a brand new four stroke. We do have four stroke outboards on our racks but they are not as abundent and they usually go first. Before we put any motors on the rack to be sold we go through and service them top to bottom. We check things like spark, compression, lower unit, shifting, we change the gear lube, clean carbs, and replace anything else that may need to be fixed. To stand by our work and show you that these are quality motors, we offer the first seaon of use under warranty. So if anything mechanically happens to go wrong, we will get you right into service and resolve the problem as fast as we can. 

One of the best reasons to stop into Vans would have to be for our helpful and experinced staff. We know these motors inside and out so helping you pick the best motor for your application will be no problem at all. We are not here to sell you just any old motor or push something on you that you don't need or want. Our goal is to help you get the motor that fits your boating needs at a reasonable price and time.
