Batrum’s Marine

I have been coming down to Lake Nacimiento for years and have been fortunate not to need boat service while on vacation. But this year we blew an exhaust gasket… Erik and his team at Batrum’s Marine were there to help! They fit us in with short notice and completed the job quickly. Thanks for keeping the family happy on vacation!

Like I have put on their Facebook page as well. Erik is awesome. My dad has been bringing his boats here for years. And I have brought my ski centurion since I have owned her. He’s willing to try and help you out on a moments notice when something happens to the boat. He’s always good at explaining proper maintenance and preventative maintenance. Thanks Erik and the entire Batrum family.

This shop was recommended to me by a local friend in Paso. It was not highly recommended but is was close to my vacation home so I gave it a try. I’m giving it a 2 stars because it took over 2 months to fix the boat but it eventually got done). I attribute it mostly to their lack of knowledge on Honda motors and their lack of customer service. I don’t believe it was a very high priority for them to get my boat done. Parts would take over a week to order and they order the wrong part two times. No hurry in re-​ordering and getting it shipped faster (I guess FedEx was not an option). Also a very poor lack of communication in letting me know what was going on. They never called back when they say they would and always the same story. I would have to call to get updates. If I didn’t start calling every couple of days my boat would most likely still be in the shop.
If you think you will get a great price for parts and labor think again. The prices are pretty much the same as other places. Mark-​up on the parts are double and labor was $ 135/​hr. I’m sure this is pretty standard and they are doing what other boat repair places charge but don’t be fooled that you are going to get a great price and save a ton a money.
Family run business and they are nice people.
