Iguana: The Lake's Exclusive Dealer in Rinker & Cruisers Yachts Brands

Well-known brands, such as Rinker and Cruisers Yachts, are exclusively sold only by top-tier watercraft dealers. The Lake of the Ozarks' best boat dealership is the only boat dealership in the Lake area that is authorized to sell Rinker and Cruisers Yachts brands. These two companies have been a constant in the watercraft world, impressing everyone with their incredible and beautifully designed vessels. Iguana invites you to see why we chose to represent the best brands in boat sales at the Lake of the Ozarks.

About The Brands

Cruisers Yachts

Cruisers Yachts started 111 years ago under the name Thompson Bros. Manufacturing Company. Though its name has changed a few times, the company has continued to perfect its concept of what makes a premium quality boat throughout the decades. The company name Cruisers Yachts was established in 1993, and they have been creating mid-sized to luxury-sized yachts ever since. From their origins in wooden boat crafting to the modern era of yacht production, Cruisers Yachts has carved a wake in the premier boating industry of the 21st century.

Rinker

Rinker is the oldest American boat brand in continuous production. Since their humble beginning in the workshop of an Indiana dairy farmer in the 1930's, Rinker has become an ultimate authority on what it takes to make a great boat. Known for producing the "best-boat-for-the-money," Rinker has garnered international attention as one of the best boating brands in the industry.

Premium Designs for Premium Boats

Cruisers Yachts

Cruisers Yachts has several key designs that set it apart from the other brands, including:

• Stylish UltraLeather Brisa© interior seating for an aesthetic and comfortable, yet easy to maintain, surface.
• Walk-through windshields in the 30' - 54' Express and Sports Coupe models, allowing for easy loading/unloading and a perfect layout for sunbathing.
• Premium interior accessories, such as beautiful stainless steel sinks and designer fixtures. 
• Hand-finished cherry or wenge wood surfaces that add warmth and elegance to the interior environment.
• Elite Volvo Penta IPS engine complete with the new and intuitive "joystick" handling for docking, allowing for total control over the Yacht without sacrificing any power.

Rinker

Rinker excels by taking optional accessories and incorporating them into their standard design. The Express Cruisers and Captiva Series offer premium features at an exceptional value. Some of the elements you can find in a Rinker vessel include:

• Brazilwood cabinetry for a pristine and stylish interior.
• Bluetooth sound system to wirelessly stream your favorite music.
• Illuminated engine compartment for unhindered engine visibility.
• Walk-through transom entrance for easy access on and off the boat.
• Windshield with tinted safety glass for increased sun protection.

3 Reasons to Let Iguana Winterize your Boat!

Winter is almost here and if you have not already winterized your Lake of the Ozarks boat or PWC, Iguana is here to help!  The cold weather can cause problems with your boat, and freezing temperatures can rupture lines and cause engine damage. Fortunately, your #1 boat dealer in Missouri offers boat winterization services at the Lake of the Ozarks to prevent your boat from becoming damaged by cold weather. Here are some of the things we do to protect your watercraft.

1. Drain and Replace the Fresh Water System with Antifreeze.

Larger boats, like our Cruisers Yachts line, have fresh water lines that run all the fresh water on the boat. This includes the sinks, bathrooms, water heater, and waste holding tanks. If there are lines that hold water, we'll need to flush them out to prevent possible damage over the winter. Our service crew will check the boat's manual to verify which products we can use to replace the water. Generally, a non-toxic antifreeze can be used in the onboard water heater and all lines to any faucets or drains, including the bathroom. The antifreeze is used  to flush the water out of the system and help protect the water lines.

2. Remove Water from the Boat Engine.

When storing your boat for the winter, it's important to get all the water out of the engine. This includes hose lines, the engine block, and exhaust manifolds. The goal is to prevent water from freezing/expanding which can cause cracks and leaks in the components of the engine. We will flush the systems with antifreeze to protect your engine from the winter weather. Additionally, we will make sure the transmission fluid is full and also check the closed coolant system to make sure it's able to withstand the winter. Finally, we will wipe the engine down and clean it using fogging oil to keep the shine and protect the exterior of the engine.

3. Keep the Fuel Tank 75% Full.

Filling up the tank 3/4 full before you put away the boat is important for a couple different reasons. Keeping it full fills the vacuum, preventing any water from condensing in the tank. We recommend holding the tank at 75%, so the fuel has room to expand on a warmer day without spilling through the vent and all over the boat. Some boat experts believe that fuel with ethanol may spoil over the winter; they recommend adding a fuel stabilizer to prevent any issues.

Don't let the process of winterizing your boat overwhelm you! With the best boat service crew at the Lake of the Ozarks, your watercraft will be well-protected from the winter elements. Our service department will winterize ANY watercraft, from PWC to yachts. They work by appointment, so call Rick at our office today and get your boat ready for the winter at the Lake.
