    Why Stone Oak

    Built for Stone Oak owners.

    Stone Oak homes typically have the driveway space for a trailerable boat or mid-size travel trailer. We service driveways across the Sonterra, Sterling Ridge, and Encino Park subdivisions weekly, and we coordinate hangar appointments at SAT and Stinson for the area's growing fleet of owner-flown aircraft.

    Owner profile. Affluent north-SA suburbanites with three-car garages, trailerable wakesurf and bass boats kept at the house, family travel trailers and 5th wheels, and owner-pilot Cirrus/Bonanza/Citation owners hangared at SAT and Stinson.

    A wakesurf boat is a $150,000 floating sun lounger with a 450-horsepower inboard underneath. It pulls weekend warriors, surf trainees, and bachelor parties — and it spends every weekday baking in a slip or under a shrink wrap that traps moisture. Tow towers collect rust at the welds. Vinyl seating soaks up oil-based sunscreen until it's permanently yellow. Ballast bag drains leak under the floor and stain the deck. Stereo speakers get water-spotted from boarder splashes. We detail the whole package — not just the hull — because the parts of a wakeboat that get photographed at sunset are the tower, the vinyl, and the freshly polished cup-holder ring.

    How we work on yours

    Ski & wake boats protocol Stone Oak edition.

    01

    Pre-rinse with fresh water from waterline to tower top to flush lake debris, pollen, and spider webs before any product touches the gelcoat.

    02

    Hand-wash hull with non-stripping marine soap and a soft microfiber wash mitt — never automatic brushes on metalflake or pearlescent gelcoat.

    03

    Polish gelcoat with a dual-action polisher and a polish suited to the boat's finish — metalflake, solid color, and pearlescent each get different pads and chemistry.

    04

    Tow tower clean — hand wash welded seams, treat any surface oxidation at the powder-coat with metal-specific polish, condition rubber tower-clamp pads.

    05

    Ballast compartment + lockers: open every hatch, check for standing water and bag-leak stains, treat with marine enzyme deodorizer.

    06

    Vinyl seating gets a marine-specific cleaner (non-bleach) followed by UV-protective conditioner that won't gum up at 95°F.

    07

    Sunscreen-yellowed white vinyl gets a dedicated vinyl brightener — multi-pass treatment for boats that have been neglected.

    08

    Tower stereo speakers wiped down with care — water-resistant doesn't mean spray-tolerant. Surf gates, ballast pumps, and helm electronics wiped, never sprayed.

    09

    Marine sealant or ceramic coating applied to the hull, vinyl protectant locked on the seating, and a final pass on the dashboard plastics and helm gauges.

    Stone Oak questions

    What owners always ask.

    Yes — Canyon Lake (35 minutes north from Stone Oak) is one of our core service areas for ski & wake boats. We work slip-kept boats at Cypress Bend Marina and Mountain Springs Resort and ramp-side jobs at Cranes Mill Park ramp. We bring our own water and power.

    Yes — Canyon Lake slips (Cypress Bend, Mountain Springs, Cranes Mill), Lake Travis marinas (Volente Beach, Lakeway, Hurst Harbor, Briarcliff), Lake LBJ slips, and most home docks across the Hill Country. We bring our own water and power so we don't need slip hookups.

    Most of them, yes. Oil-based sunscreens bond into the vinyl topcoat under UV. We use a vinyl-specific brightener that lifts the staining in multiple passes. Deep set-in stains may need two visits, but a single pass usually pulls 80-90% out.

    Not when it's done right. We hand-polish powder-coated and carbon towers with appropriate metal-safe compounds — never rotary buffers. We test a hidden area first so you see the result before we commit to the whole tower.

    We pull the floor hatches, inspect the bilge under the bags, deodorize with marine enzyme cleaner that eats the bacteria, then dry the area before reassembly. If we find a chronic leak, we tell you so you can have a tech replace the bag.

    Yes — we offer Friday rapid-detail packages for $150-200: full exterior wash, vinyl wipe, tower clean, glass and helm. Locks in the look without the full polish service.

    A standard wash, polish, vinyl, tower, and ballast service on a 22-24 ft V-drive starts at $350. Add ceramic coating ($200-300), bring an older boat with heavy oxidation ($500-700), or schedule pre-trip rapid service for a flat fee.
