Your MRAA Certified Dealer in Tennessee: Our Story

How a small Tennessee boat dealership became one of the most trusted names on Pickwick Lake.

History / Foundation

Marine Sales Pickwick was founded in the 1974 in Counce, Tennessee — and over the next three decades, built a reputation that spoke for itself. As one of the oldest and most successful Cobalt® dealerships in the central region, the dealership earned consistently high customer satisfaction ratings that made it the premier destination for boating on Pickwick Lake. Today, more than two thousand customers across North Mississippi, North Alabama, and West Tennessee call Marine Sales home.

Ownership Change

In 2007, after thirty-plus years under original ownership, the dealership entered a new chapter. Memphis businessman and lifelong Pickwick Lake boater Mike Tutor acquired the business, bringing fresh investment alongside a genuine passion for the lake and the Cobalt® brand. The following year, the service operation and the 7370 Hwy 57 property were added to the fold.

Operations Today

Marine Sales Pickwick is now located at 9470 Highway 57 in Counce — directly across from the Hampton Inn, right at the north end of the lake where traffic from Memphis and North Tennessee arrives. The facility includes a 42,000 sq. ft. air-controlled showroom, full-service department, accessories department, and parts department under one roof. Boaters needing storage will find additional options just down the road at 7370 Highway 57, where both AC – Heated indoor storage and 82 covered slips are available.

Customer Experience / Brands

Marine Sales Pickwick operates as a full-service dealership, with factory-trained technicians covering Volvo, MerCruiser, and OMC engines. The parts department and ship store rank among the largest in the region — stocked to keep boaters on the water and prepared for whatever the day brings. On the sales floor, we proudly carry a lineup of world-class brands: Cobalt, Barletta, Sportsman, and Sea-Doo personal watercraft. It’s a portfolio built intentionally — to serve more customers, cover more of the water, and deliver an ownership experience that’s hard to match anywhere on the lake.

There are not enough words to explain appreciation I have for Marine Sales. From the moment I walked in the door, I was met with professionalism and kindness. They made me feel like family, and I have continued to feel that feeling ever since. From purchase to service, I am sure I made the right choice in Marine Sales. I recommend Marine Sales to anyone who is in the market for a superior boat and excellent customer service!

Really nice employees with great prices and extensive knowledge about boats and parts.

Kevin Hancock

I started dealing with Marine Sales almost 10 years ago. After buying a few different boats and jet skis over the years as our family habits and needs changed, I cannot imagine shopping anywhere else. The sales experience is low pressure and they make sure the boat/jet ski you are looking for fits your needs. Chase has always been there to assist us before, during, and most importantly, after the sale.
