Deciding where to take your boat for service in the Lakefield area depends on what you actually need: engine repair, propeller work, winter storage, a new dock, or a used boat. The businesses along and near Lakefield Road cover a surprisingly wide range of marine trades — but they are not interchangeable. This guide walks through each one, groups them by what they do, and helps you figure out who to call first.
For boaters who need engine work, winterization, storage, or a range of mechanical services under one roof, two shops in the Lakefield corridor stand out.
Located on Buckhorn Road in Lakefield and in business for over 40 years, Town & Country Marine is one of the more comprehensive marine dealerships in the area. The shop handles new and used boat sales alongside a full workshop menu: routine maintenance, gel coat and fiberglass repair, structural repairs, propeller and lower unit service, electronics installations, wake tower and T-Top fitting, detailing, and shrink wrap. Winterization and winter storage are both offered, and the shop provides pickup and delivery. A $500 storage deposit is noted. Brands serviced include Mercury Outboards, MerCruiser Sterndrive, Malibu, Bayliner, Crownline, Boston Whaler, Barletta and Premier Pontoons, TRACKER, and NITRO. The service area extends across the Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, Bancroft, Peterborough, the GTA, and the Bay of Quinte. Reach them at 800-463-2628.
Operating on Lakefield Road in Peterborough for more than 30 years, C-US Consignment offers a broad mechanical menu with a few features that set it apart: licensed mechanics holding master technician designations in outboards and sterndrives, mobile marine repair, and hydraulic trailer haulage for boats up to 45 feet. The shop handles outboard and sterndrive installation and repair, propeller, shaft, and outdrive service, winterization, storage, and a full upholstery and canvas operation — bimini tops, cockpit covers, seat repair and replacement, windows, zippers, and more. New seats start from $185 per side. The shop operates six days a week including most holidays, and offers in-water testing after service. Pickup and delivery are available. Call 705-876-7979 or email siera2655@gmail.com.
Note: C-US Consignment Boats & Motors shares the same phone number and email as C-US Consignment but lists a different address (28 Old Highway 28, Lakefield). The two appear to be related or the same operation at different points; the more detailed profile above reflects the Lakefield Road location’s advertised services.
OPS, at 2055 Buckhorn Rd in Lakefield, has been in operation since 1987 and is recognized as one of the largest propeller repair facilities in Ontario. Beyond prop work — with a standard two-day turnaround and same-day service available in some cases — the shop also handles marine, ATV, and snowmobile repairs, making it a year-round operation. The service area covers Peterborough, Lindsay, and Campbellford. Contact: 705-652-0227 or artsops@xplornet.ca.
Peel Marine occupies a corner location in Lakefield at Bridge Street and Clementi and covers a distinctive mix of services. The shop repairs all makes of boats and motors, builds custom cedar strip boats and canoes, and offers rental boats with delivery to a long list of Kawartha lakes — including Stoney Lake, Chemong, Buckhorn, Pigeon, Chandos, and more than twenty others. Winter boat storage is available. For cottagers on remote lakes who need a rental delivered, or for anyone after a handbuilt cedar strip canoe, Peel Marine is the relevant call. Reach them at 705-652-3285.
R & J Machine, on 8th Line Smith in Lakefield, is a family-owned manufacturer celebrating 50 years in business in 2026. The company builds and installs pipe docks, floating docks, lift-up docks, permanent steel pile docks, boat lifts (wet slip overhead, hydraulic, and hidden beam hydraulic), marine railways, PWC lifts, swimming platforms, shoreline boardwalks, and boathouse structures and foundations. Welders hold Canadian Welding Bureau certification. The company has completed commercial marina installations in Peterborough, Lakefield, and Hastings, and also assists with permitting and provides CAD drafting. Coverage spans the Kawarthas including Bobcaygeon, Campbellford, Stoney Lake, Curve Lake, and Burleigh Falls.
Floathouse designs and manufactures floating boathouse structures in Ontario, with a Lakefield Road address. Product options include single and double slip boat ports, an open ranger model, and a fully enclosed deckhouse with upper sun deck, shore power hookup, and remote-operated garage door. All structures use Douglas Fir and MicroPro Sienna pressure treated lumber supported by Techstar Plastics floats. Contact: 705-745-9060 or floathouse@yahoo.com.
Founded in 1980 and located at 1828 8th Line Smith in Lakefield, Paluski Boats Limited manufactures canoes, kayaks, and paddles using rotomolded polyethylene construction. All products carry a lifetime hull warranty and are made in Canada. The lineup runs from a 9’8″ sit-on-top kayak at $550 up to a 14’2″ touring kayak at $1,400, and canoes from $1,400. The company also supplies rental fleets across North America. Shop hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. Call 705-652-7041 or email info@paluskiboats.com.
Ellis Automotive Ltd., at 63 Queen St in Lakefield, is an automotive repair and tire shop serving Lakefield, Youngs Point, and Bridgenorth. It is not a marine service business, but is included here for completeness as a local repair option — relevant if you need vehicle or tow-vehicle maintenance while your boat is being worked on elsewhere.
Despite a Lakefield Road address in its listing, Peterborough Powersports operates as an online-only powersports retailer. It sells ATV, UTV, e-bike, motorcycle, and snowmobile parts and accessories — not marine products — and its contact address is in Florida. It does not offer local pickup, marine service, or any waterway-related services. Products carry a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty.
