The team at Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors is top notch and I highly recommend. Everyone I interacted with when buying our SeaDoos was friendly, honest, helpful and mindful of your time. They are truly customer focused which is hard to find these days! Our salesman Caleb Weldon was a pleasure to work with and went out of his way to get everything pulled together in less than 24 hours so we could get on the water quickly. He went above and beyond, even water testing a ski for us on a cold, rainy day. Hannah our Business Mngr was unbelievably fast getting all the documents in place so I could sign quickly and was so pleasant to work with. I was shopping with my 3 young children and everyone in the store, from Allen to the cashier to the service team made sure we were comfortable, welcomed and taken care of.
I took a boating class that included safety and hands-on instruction behind the wheel of a boat. Let’s just start with what great communication we received from the Russell Marine, assistant manager, Kendra, who is in charge of putting together this class. If I had any questions, she was quick to respond. BONUS: the swag included a full size tote bag and a T-shirt - I will be using both! Plus we received a gourmet lunch from Willow Point Country Club with homemade fried potato chips. This class was phenomenal! They covered just enough information to allow it to sink I and answered all the questions that we had. Not only did we hear from a marine police officer, but we also received instruction from volunteers of the Lake Martin Resource Association. I loved that the boat was the exact same size as our boat. Not having really driven our boat, I actually was able to park my boat. My instructor was very patient and allowed me multiple tries for practice. I will sit for my boating license soon and feel so much more prepared for emergency because of this class. Russell Marina, thank you so much for doing this!❤️
I tried working with two other marine shops to get a mooring cover for my boat. Neither of them would call back. When I called Russell Marine and talked to Dan, he listened and was very proactive in getting the cover ordered and scheduling for the install. When I arrived to have the installation done, Jessica in the service department was fantastic. She let me know exactly what they were going to do and about how long it would take. Everyone was extremely polite and very helpful! I 100% recommend to all fellow boaters!!!
These people! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They moved heaven and earth to get our boat and jet skis delivered when we forgot to call. The vessels were in perfect condition - they called multiple times that day to make sure we were satisfied - and could not have been more professional. Customer service can be a dying art … but these folks raised the bar and then exceeded it ! Thank you so much!!
Thad a fantastic experience during the Women on Lake Martin boater's course! The instructors were very knowledgeable & patient. They provided all the essential information to feel confident and safe on the water. Whether you're a beginner or just need a refresher, I highly recommend taking this class. It was informative, engaging, and definitely worth it!

Buying a boat from Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors in Alexander City, Alabama? 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 Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors which models suit the waterways near Alexander City, Alabama.
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.
Check engine hours
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 Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors.
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 Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. Russell Marine Boating & Outdoors should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
