Maxxum Marine was founded in 1988 by brothers Lloyd and Stacy Slonecker. Born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, the brothers grew intimately familiar with the Willamette River after their parents built a home on the Willamette just downstream from where it merges with the McKenzie River. Stacy had been dismantling and rebuilding boats as early as his junior year of high school. In their earlier years Lloyd and Stacy built custom aluminum boats ranging from 13 to 28 feet. The Maxxum name stands for maximum strength and maximum performance. Today Maxxum Marine customizes and sells boats from North River Boats, Custom Weld, Crestliner Boats and is a factory trained service center for Suzuki and Yamaha outboard motors.
