You don’t just own a boat. You own a Garwood. The kind of boat that turns heads, sparks envy, and commands respect. It’s not just a ride—it’s a statement. But here’s the thing about legends: they don’t stay legendary on their own. Time takes its toll. The sun fades the varnish. The water wears at the wood. Imperfections creep in. That’s where Tahoe Runabout Co. comes in.
We don’t just restore boats. We bring them back to life. We take your weathered Garwood and transform it into something that gleams in the sun and cuts through the water like it owns the lake because that’s exactly what it should do.
Restoration: The Art of Revival
Restoration isn’t fixing. It’s reimagining. It’s stripping down every worn plank, replacing it with wood so perfectly matched you’ll swear it’s the original. It’s running your hands over the hull, feeling smooth, seamless perfection. We rebuild your boat from the inside out, preserving the craftsmanship that made it iconic while ensuring it’s stronger, sleeker, and ready for decades of adventure. Why settle for good when you can have great?
Paint: Bold. Beautiful. Unstoppable.
The right paint job doesn’t just make your boat look good. It makes it unforgettable. We prep every surface like it’s a canvas, then layer on marine-grade paint that can stand up to Tahoe’s fiercest waves. Bold, clean lines that pop against the natural grain. Color that commands attention. Paint isn’t just protection—it’s power. And with us, your boat will wear it like a crown.
Varnish: The Secret to Timeless Elegance
A Garwood without varnish is like Tahoe without the water. Varnish is what makes the wood sing. It’s what gives it that deep, lustrous glow that catches the sunlight and turns every glance into a double take. Layer by layer, we seal the wood against time and wear, protecting it while enhancing its natural beauty. Because when your boat hits the water, it should look like it belongs in a museum.
Detailing: Every Inch Matters
Perfection is in the details. That’s why we don’t just clean your boat—we elevate it. We polish every inch of chrome until it shines like new. Scrub every corner until it feels fresh off the showroom floor. We don’t just make your boat look good. We make it impossible to ignore. Step aboard and feel the difference.
Bottom Replacement: Built to Endure
The bottom of your boat is its foundation, the unsung hero that battles water, waves, and wear. Over time, even the best wood weakens. When it’s time to replace it, we don’t cut corners. We remove the damaged wood, fit in new planks with precision, and seal it for ultimate durability because the lake is no place for second chances.
Annual Inspections: Stay Ahead of Time
Small cracks. Loose fasteners. Fading varnish. These are the tiny issues that snowball into big problems if left unchecked. Our annual inspections catch them early, keeping your Garwood pristine and ready for action. Peace of mind? That’s what we deliver.
At Tahoe Runabout Co., we don’t just restore boats. We protect legacies. Your Garwood is more than wood and paint. It’s a story, and we’re here to make sure it’s told for generations.
