Unfortunately, my experience was not as I expected. I took my recently purchased boat for repair to the bilge pump, install a radio and depth finder and to have the boat inspected for any other issues it might have. I was in Hawaii for two weeks and they had a month to get the work done. I found that the fiber glass engine cover had been broke at the hinges and the handle was also broke. I contacted the owner who admitted that one of the workers had broke the handle, but only after I complained. He agreed to fix both the handle and the door hinge. I then discovered that the taillights had also been damaged. I also discovered that the anchor light doesn’t work and the gate/rudder was not adjusted correctly as the boat cannot idle in neutral without moving. I feel these things should have been caught upon inspection, and it appears that they did not inspect the boat at all. My confidence level was non-existent. Please keep in mind that I specifically requested that the boat be inspected for Alll issues, but was returned to me with greater issues than when I brought it in, I was also charged for 8 hours of labor. Needless to say, I will not be bringing my boat back to this shop as I do not trust that they will return my boat in good repair.

Very hard working, honest and competent engine and fiberglass shop. Reasonable rates, works with you to get the job done. I had to re-power a 17ft. straight inboard, using a Merc. 3.0 instead of the original Mitsubishi. Lou worked with me to get the new motor and then repaired and reconfigured the engine mounting beds. With a new motor, the exhaust, cooler, strainer, etc. all had to be reconfigures within a tight space. Like anything marine, the work expanded significantly, but A to Z stayed right in there. We had to order a new shaft at the last moment, sourcing it on short notice had to be one of the highlights of this process. I was back on the water in time for my vacation! Thanks Lou and Jeanne.
