About

2024 marks the 45th year of business for Bob’s Marine. We are located in Bellevue, IA. – a small town sitting right along the Mississippi River. Bob’s Marine has been owned and operated by Bob and Deb Hutchcroft since 1979.  Their son Ryan and daughter Nicole have recently partnered with them as joint owners, making them the 3rd generation in the family business.

The business was originally started back in the 1960’s by Bob’s dad, Bob Hutchcroft Sr., in conjunction with a full-service gas station. Bob Jr. began working for his dad in 1972 where he serviced and sold small boats and motors. In 1979, Bob Jr. purchased the marine business and in 1981, the business relocated to its present location:

Bob’s Marine Showroom & Shop

Bob’s Marine First Storage Building

Bob’s Marine Second Storage Building

Since then, Bob’s Marine has experienced several expansions to its present day size…and only continues to grow.

Bob’s Marine is a complete sales and service dealership.  We carry the boat lines of Ranger Boats, Phoenix Boats, and Xpress boats.   We are also a full line Mercury and MerCruiser dealer.

Financing is available.  Just contact Bob or Nicole for more information on how to apply.

And if “new” just isn’t what you’re looking for, be sure to check our used inventory listings as our used inventory is always changing and you never know what you might find.

Bob’s Marine is also a full-service boat and pontoon dealership. We can service all makes of outboard and stern drive motors, anything from oil changes to complete engine overhauls, as well as perform boat repairs and electronics or accessories installations.  Both Ryan and Bob hold engine manufacturer certifications and attend service schools to stay up to date on all the latest technology and applications.  Most recently, Ryan has earned the title of Certified Outboard Master Technician from Yamaha.

Stop in and see us.  We’re happy to help you with all of your boating needs!

Bob’s Marine looks forward to servicing your boating needs.  Our hours of operation are:
