ABOUT
THE BOAT CENTER

The Boat Center of Rogers, Arkansas has been serving customers throughout Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma and southern Missouri since 2011.  The owner, Jim Stancil, has been around the boating industry his entire life and is an avid duck hunter and family man.  Since his days as a salesman at Cantrell Marine in Little Rock, AR, to owning and operating his own duck boat factory in Clinton, AR for many years, Jim's passion to help people enjoy their outdoor sporting experiences has always been evident.

Following a devastating tornado in 2008 that completely destroyed the boat factory, Jim and his wife Susan moved to Northwest Arkansas to be closer to their 2 daughters.  Jim identified a need for a regionally-based new and used boat distribution center and settled on a location on the east side of Rogers, AR for his boat shop.  With quick access to multiple Beaver Lake marinas, and HWY 71B, a main connection for the majority of Northwest Arkansas, the Boat Center is conveniently located to serve many customer's needs.

Today, the Boat Center offers a wide variety of boating and hunting gear solutions.  As a Certified Dealer for HAVOC and Weldbilt boats, two of Arkansas' premier aluminum boat manufacturers, customers can design and order their custom-built duck boats directly through Jim.  The Boat Center is also a Certified Sales and Service Dealer for TOHATSU Outboards, a brand that has been providing quality outboard motors since 1956.  The Boat Center also provides year-round service and part repairs, can outfit your boat with a custom camouflage paint job, or the latest technology in LED lighting or power transom kits.  

If you are driving throughout Arkansas and the neighboring region, it is not uncommon to spot Jim's camo Suburban delivering the next customer's new boat to their doorstep. When you are in the need for your new duck boat, or just need a simple winterizing, come by and see Jim and the team at the Boat Center in Rogers.  Jim's black lab, Slugo, will greet you at the door!
