Fall might mean the end of another boating season in Maine, but October is bringing another round of manufacturer savings for anyone thinking about a new boat, a repower, or getting a head start on next season.
Right now, Suzuki, Honda, and Crestliner all have active promotions offering everything from instant rebates to extended coverage and special financing. There are a few different programs happening at once, so we’re breaking down what’s available and when you need to take advantage of it.
Suzuki October Rebates: Save Up to $750!
Suzuki has extended its customer rebate program into October, with savings available on qualifying new outboards from 2.5 HP all the way through 350 HP. Suzuki’s October rebates run through October 31, 2026.
Current rebate amounts are:
- DF2.5–DF15: $50
- DF20–DF30: $100
- DF40–DF60: $200
- DF70–DF140: $300
- Inline-4 DF150–DF200: $400
- V6 DF200–DF350: $500
Whether you’re replacing an older motor or looking at a new Suzuki-powered boat, there are savings available across nearly the entire horsepower lineup.
Extra $250 on Qualifying Suzuki 250 HP Motors
Suzuki is also continuing its America 250 promotion.
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, qualifying new Suzuki 250 HP outboards receive an additional $250 rebate through December 31, 2026.
That means a qualifying 250 HP purchase may be eligible for even more savings beyond Suzuki’s regular October rebate.
Suzuki Repower Financing
Thinking about keeping your current boat and just replacing the motor? Suzuki has also extended its promotional repower financing through October 31, 2026.
Qualified Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers can access rates starting at 5.99% APR for terms up to 72 months through Sheffield Financial on qualifying new Suzuki repower engines.
Suzuki is also offering financing options for qualifying new boat packages powered by Suzuki through the end of October.
And for recreational use, qualifying new Suzuki outboards currently include Suzuki’s 5-Year Limited Warranty, giving buyers some added peace of mind along with the current savings.
Honda “Dive Into Fall”: Choose Savings OR 7 Years of Protection
Honda Marine has kicked off its Dive Into Fall Sales Promotion, and this one gives customers a choice.
On qualifying new Honda outboards, you can choose between up to $1,500 in instant savings OR 7 years of engine protection. The promotion runs from October 1 through November 30, 2026.
Current instant savings amounts include:
- 2.3–9.9 HP: $100
- 15–30 HP: $200
- 40–50 HP: $300
- 60–100 HP: $400
- 115–140 HP: $500
- 150 HP: $600
- 200–225 HP: $750
- 250 HP: $1,000
- M300: $1,000
- 350 HP: $1,500
Instead of taking the instant savings, qualifying buyers can choose Honda’s standard 5-year limited warranty plus an additional 2 years of HondaCare Protection, giving you 7 total years of engine protection at no additional cost. Honda lists the added coverage as a value of up to $3,390.
The promotion applies to qualifying new 2022 and newer BF2.3 through BF350 outboards sold for personal use and can apply to both Honda-powered boat packages and qualifying repowers.
If you’ve been considering a Honda repower, this is a good opportunity to decide which matters more for your situation: money off now or longer-term coverage.
Crestliner: Save Up to $8,000 Through October 17
Crestliner has also extended its Built for This savings event into October, but this one has a shorter window.
Customers can save up to $8,000 on select new 2025, 2026, and 2027 Crestliner boats at participating dealers through October 17, 2026.
Savings vary depending on the model, so if there’s a particular Crestliner in our inventory you’ve been watching, give us a call and we can check exactly what applies.
With fishing season winding down, fall can also be a great time to buy. You can get the boat figured out now instead of waiting until everyone starts shopping again in the spring.
Crestliner Military Discount
Crestliner also continues to offer its Military Program, with eligible customers able to receive up to $1,250 off select boats.
The current program applies to qualifying new, unused, and unregistered 2025 and 2026 Crestliner boats packaged with Mercury engines and trailers. Eligibility and documentation requirements apply, and the discount must be pre-approved.
If you’ve served, let us know when you’re looking at a Crestliner and we can help determine what discount may apply to the boat you’re considering.
Fall Is a Great Time to Start Planning for Next Season
You don’t have to wait until spring to start thinking about your next boat or motor.
Between Suzuki’s October rebates and repower financing, Honda’s choice between instant savings and extended protection, and Crestliner’s current fall savings, there are several ways to save right now.
Manufacturer promotions can get confusing, especially when eligibility depends on the motor, model year, boat package, or how the engine is being purchased. That’s where we come in.
If you’re considering a Suzuki or Honda repower, looking at a new Crestliner, or simply want to know what current promotions apply to something in our inventory, give Clark Marine a call or stop in.
