Escape

Long hours at work, no work, bills, kids, repairs, gas prices, income, and other factors in our lives drive us to needing an escape. We all need to get out and forget about the issues that drag us down in life. For many of us, powersports are that escape.

Whether you are into riding on the dirt, snow, water, sand, or street, you know that feeling of freedom. The wind blowing away all of your stress; the sound of the motor clearing your mind.

We share in the love of that feeling and know how important it is to have in life. Your life becomes less about the stress and more about getting back to that freedom of the trail. We want to help you in your quest to escape. To be free from life and to have fun.

Bk Boat n Sleds is about helping you escape.

Interesting Haul

There is always odd things happening at the shop and today's event happened shortly after lunch. We had been working on an old SRV trade and got the call that it was coming in today. When the guy got there, we headed out to the parking lot to see the sled. After a quick scan of the lot for a truck or trailer.....we started becoming confused. Then he popped the hatch on his MINI VAN! That's right. Mini Van. Now I have seen a lot of things. I have had sleds in full size vans, watched a sled get loaded into a Suburban, loaded them in all types of trailers, but I have NEVER seen a sled in a mini van. It gets better. This mini van not only had space for a mid 80's SRV; it had room for the whole family! Mom and Dad in the front seats and the booster in the back. This is a van that will hold the family AND your toys!


If you have seen a sled being hauled in an odd way, tell us about it on our

Epic Storm Calls for Epic HOURS!

So the weathermen are calling for one of the largest storms EVER in the midwest. We decided that we needed to pull out all the stops for this one.....so, we will have a guy at the shop for the ENTIRE storm! That's right, we are getting snowed in at the shop so you can stay out on the trails.

We will be open all day Tuesday, all through the night and then all day Wednesday!
Just because you wrecked it early, doesn't mean you are out for the season!
