As a lifelong sailor, I had never owned a powerboat. Most of my sailing friends who bought one usually found a great deal on a used powerboat which promptly caught on fire or sank. I thought I was going to follow in their footsteps when I discovered a vintage 1973 HiLiner Gypsy I quite liked that was for sale. It was designed by Ray Hunt! My wife had other plans. She loved the Robalo R222 and thought it would be wise to purchase a new boat with modern features such as a new Yamaha four stroke motor with warranty so I would not be out in the driveway sweating over and swearing at another project. We reviewed a lot of dealerships and a lot of boats. 3A Marine was the best. Jack White answered all of our questions and helped us decide which options were worth the money and which were not. To his credit, he dissuaded us from going with a larger motor as it wasn't necessary for our needs. We are very happy with the Robalo R222 hull, the Yamaha motor and the Tidewater trailer. Pat and John in service have been a pleasure to deal with and they do a good job taking care of our maintenance needs. During our most recent service, 3A replaced plugs, water pump, and thermostat with genuine Yamaha parts. Shots of the old parts included. A local lobsterman reviewed our boat and said, "It's just enough." On a scale of 1 to 10, my wife rates our Robalo at "about a 20, maybe a 30." I highly recommend 3A Marine as do a lot of other folks on the Robalo Owners Facebook group.
I have been dealing with 3A Marine for over 13 years for all my Volvo Penta parts. They have a very knowledgeable staff, so if you need parts for your Volvo Penta 3A Marine are the guys to call.....
I’ve used 3A for several years now and they’ve always been absolutely top notch. More than once they accurately diagnosed issues that others struggled to pinpoint, which saved me a fair bit of time and money, and their customer service is consistently above and beyond.
Bought new parker 2120 from them and had a few manufacturer issues that 3A addressed and fixed in a timely manner. I have no problem calling them with an issue and or service with no problems..
Been a customer form almost 20 years, excellent service.

Buying a boat from 3A Marine Service Inc. in Hingham, Massachusetts? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask 3A Marine Service Inc. which models suit the waterways near Hingham, Massachusetts.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.

Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at 3A Marine Service Inc..
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like 3A Marine Service Inc. will accommodate this request.
