Some businesses are built on opportunity. Others are built on legacy.
For Steve Dawson, Big D Marine & Powersports is both.
Long before selling boats, Steve grew up helping in his family’s business, Big D Mobile Homes, which served Huntsville families for more than 50 years. When he purchased the former Gullo dealership in 2017 and launched Big D Marine with a Yamaha franchise, he wasn’t just starting a new business. He was continuing a family tradition of treating customers with honesty, hard work, and hometown service.
Today, Big D Marine & Powersports has grown into multiple locations serving customers across Texas, while remaining family owned and family operated. Steve’s wife, Tricia, oversees accounting and corporate operations. Their son, Trey, assists customers with financing, and stepson Coleman Wyatt leads the service department, ensuring customers receive support long after they leave the showroom.
Whether you’re looking for your first fishing boat, a family boat for weekends on the lake, a WaveRunner, ATV, motorcycle, or side-by-side, Big D Marine offers products designed for the way Texans enjoy the outdoors. Just as important, they back every sale with experienced service technicians who handle everything from routine maintenance and electronics installation to major repairs.
What truly sets Big D Marine apart isn’t simply the inventory. It’s the commitment to building lasting relationships with every customer.
“We listen to our customers, take care of them, and treat them how we’d want to be treated,” says Steve.
That philosophy has guided the Dawson family for generations and continues to make Big D Marine & Powersports a trusted destination for outdoor enthusiasts throughout the region.
Whether you’re chasing trophy bass, spending the weekend with family on the lake, or preparing for your next hunting trip, Big D Marine & Powersports is ready to help you get there.
