Dawson Custom Marine is a family‑owned and operated business built on a lifelong passion for boating. Our lead technician, Derek, has been on the water since he was just two weeks old. Growing up on Grand Lake of the Cherokees in Oklahoma sparked a love for boating that quickly turned into a career. By age 16, he was already working at several marinas on Grand Lake, gaining hands‑on experience and a deep understanding of marine service.

In the mid‑1990s, Derek moved to Lake of the Ozarks to pursue high‑performance boating. He joined a high‑performance marina, became part of their offshore race team, and contributed to multiple wins — including SBI Offshore World Championships. The experience was both an adventure and an invaluable education in performance rigging and marine systems.

From there, Derek helped build and operate a marine service center with another marina, serving as a technical adviser for the Lake Rescue Shootout and earning the trust of customers who still rely on him today. After stepping away from boating to start a family and work in the corporate world, he eventually returned to his true passion and opened his own business.

What began as a small service operation has now grown into a full‑service facility offering complete marine care.
