RTM On The Go
A Season of Reasons to Catch Us Out and About
Indiana summers move quick. One weekend you're pulling the cover off for the first time, and the next thing you know it's Labor Day and you're wondering where the season went. So we load up the trailers and bring the boats to you, because the best place to look at a pontoon is usually the water itself.
Our schedule runs from late spring into early fall, with new dates posted here as they get locked in.
Plenty of these dates happen away from the store, at boat ramps, marinas, lakeside restaurants, and regional shows.
You can step aboard the newest Bennington, Lund, Four Winns, and Avalon models without a showroom floor in sight.
Maybe you bought your first pontoon last spring. Maybe you've been running the same stretch of water for thirty years and just want to see what's new. Either way, the Reeder-Trausch Marine summer events below are open to anybody who likes boats and the people who own them. Some happen right on our lot. Others put us a couple counties over, parked at the ramp where you already launch on Saturday mornings.
Where to Find Us This Summer
Below is the season rundown. Each listing names the venue, so you'll know what you're driving to before you go. Pick the dates that fit your weekend and mark them down.
Check Back Soon For Event Dates!
Off-site dates lean on weather and water levels a little harder than showroom days do. If something shifts, we'll update this page and post about it on our social accounts, so you'll know before you load up the car and drive an hour.
Why We Bring the Boats to You
A showroom tells you what a boat looks like. A ramp on a Saturday morning tells you how it rides, how it turns, and whether the layout works for your crew. That's the whole reason RTM On The Go exists. We'd rather hand you the wheel on real water than talk specs across a desk. Bring the kids, bring the dog if the venue allows it, and ask us the questions you'd feel silly asking in a store.
Sales, Service, and Parts All Season Long
Events are one slice of what happens around here. Our service bays stay busy all season with tune-ups, prop swaps, warranty work, and the occasional last-minute rescue before a holiday weekend. The parts counter can track down accessories most places would tell you to order yourself. And if you're shopping, you can walk the lot at either of our Indiana locations any day we're open, no event required.
Every boat we sell also comes with an on-the-water tutorial. Our team shows you how to back the trailer down the ramp, how to tie up at a dock without an audience wincing, and how to load back up when the day's done. Plenty of new owners tell us that hour saved them a whole summer of guesswork.
Getting the Most Out of Your Summer Weekends
A few things are worth sorting out before you start hitting these dates. Book service early, because July fills up fast and nobody wants their boat sitting in the shop during peak season. Come to a show with a rough idea of how many people you usually have aboard, since that one number narrows the search faster than anything else. And if you're weighing a pontoon against a tritoon, catch us at an on-the-water date and ask for a demo ride.
Catch Reeder-Trausch Marine On the Road or at the Showroom
We put this schedule together for the people who make our season what it is. Flag us down at a ramp, say hello at a dockside meetup, or swing through either showroom on a slow Tuesday. Our sales, finance, service, and parts crews all work under one roof at each store, so whatever brings you in, somebody here can help you sort it out. Come see us before the season gets away from you.
