About Dealer

Hughes Marine began in 1965 before Smith Mountain Lake had even filled up as the idea of Gaither Hughes. He hired Carroll Yeaman as a mechanic. Unexpectedly, Mr. Hughes died in 1968 and Carroll managed the business for his widow. Carroll saw the dealership through the gas crisis of the 70’s and the economic boom of the 80’s. Carroll bought the business in 1989. Carroll’s wife, Brenda, and son, Andy joined the business about that time. The Yeaman family has promoted boating ever since. It has truly been a family affair with two generations and four family members involved in everything from Sales to Finance to Repair. Carroll and Brenda retired in the Spring of 2012.
