Quick answer
Harris Boat Works is a Mercury Marine Platinum Dealer in Gores Landing on Rice Lake, about 70 minutes north of Markham via Highway 404 and County Road 28. We handle Mercury outboard sales, repowers, service, parts, and winter storage for a significant number of Markham, Unionville, and Stouffville customers every year. The drive is the trade — for transparent CAD pricing, real Mercury technical knowledge, and no GTA dealer pressure, customers tell us it's worth the hour each way.
Why Markham customers come to Rice Lake
The GTA has Mercury dealers closer to Markham. We know that. Here's what Markham customers tell us when they make the drive:
Transparent pricing. Our quote builder at mercuryrepower.ca/quote shows real Canadian dollar prices in three minutes. You don't have to call, leave a number, and wait for someone to "work up a price." For customers who don't want to play the call-for-quote game, this matters.
Mercury Platinum credentials. Platinum is the top tier in Mercury's dealer program. There aren't many in Ontario. The badge means depth of technical knowledge, parts access, and warranty support — the things that matter most after the sale.
No hard-sell culture. We're a family marina since 1947. Three generations. Our reputation lives or dies on the next customer telling their neighbour. That changes how the sales conversation goes.
Mercury repower expertise. Most of our business is repower — replacing an old motor on a hull you want to keep. We're good at that specific job. If the question is "should I repower or buy new," our Repower vs Buy New guide walks through the decision honestly.
What HBW handles for Markham customers
- Mercury outboard sales — 2.5 HP to 600 HP, FourStroke / Pro XS / Verado
- Repower service — installation, rigging, controls, prop selection
- Mercury service and parts — Platinum-tier parts depth, warranty work
- Winter storage — outdoor with shrinkwrap (we don't offer indoor)
- Quote builder — instant CAD pricing online
We don't service Yamaha or Honda. Mercury only. If you have a non-Mercury motor, we're not the right shop.
Getting to HBW from Markham
Highway 404 north to Highway 115 east, then County Road 28 north to Gores Landing. About 70 minutes in normal traffic. The drive is rural for the last 30 minutes — cottage country starts before Rice Lake. Most Markham customers say the drive itself is part of why they come.
