      So I , bought a 20 year old Wellcraft last August that had Evinrude problems. These guys brought those motors back to life twice for me. The last time I blew one up so I recently had it re-powered with Hondas. (on the re-power they were the most reasonable )They were the most reasonable in the area and did really great work everybody there is great to work with very knowledgeable. You have to remember it's not Jiffy Lube so it takes a minute to do things right !!you have to be patient with these guys but they do it right and they do what they say they're going to do. I would recommend anybody that has boat issues. Talk to these guys or re-power or even buying a new boat

      The staff is always friendly, and willing to help. They are a wealth of knowledge. I doubt there is a boating problem that they haven't already had to address.

      The outboard motor shop is by far the highest skilled shop with the best parts and service. There are two generations of boating and mechanical expertise here.

      Be patient as all shops are struggling with the insane Covid demands. These demands are abnormal and since they are the best in the business they are on high demand.

      Hate to let the secret out, but this shop does quality work. I purchased a Evinrude E-Tec from them back in 2008, and they have servicing my boat ever since. The outdrive shaft broke after the motor was only a few years old, and Sharon called the manufacturer and went to bat for me and they replaced it with a heavier duty outdrive at a very discounted price. Excellent customer service, great team...Thank you!

      This is my goto spot when I have a tough repair. I may need to wait a little bit to get an appt. but they fix things right. Recently needed some hard-to-find ignition parts and they had what I needed in stock. The parts guy Matt always looks up the parts numbers to double-check everything is correct and leaves no stone unturned when trying to help find a part.
      They also have a good selection of fluids for all brands of outboards and stern drives. Prices are pretty competitive and I would rather give my money to a mom-and-pop shop than the know-nothings at West Marine.

      Don't shop here. The owners are cheap.

      They intimated they would take care of a BRAND NEW outboard motor,
      that NEVER, NOT ONE DAY functioned. Didn't/wouldn't take it back.
      You need to make "Written Arrangements" to expect a return on a defective, non functioning outboard motor. They fixed it........can I trust it? Never.

      I thought buying a higher priced Mercury outboard was the way to go, turns out its actually made by Tohotsu! Huh?
      Kinda wished the Owner/Salesman had told me that.

      Take my chances next time with Amazon, they at least give money back guarantee!

      I bought a used boat that was originally purchased here. Today I called with a part question and the nice lady who answered my call said she'd have someone call me back. A few hours later I got a callback from a guy who may be the most condescending d-bag I've ever talked to. You'd think I was asking him for a load rather than a question about parts that I'd like to purchase. Unbelievable that someone like him could be handling customer calls. Never will I shop there. Never.

      I paid $124 for the privilege of writing this review. Really, they should be paying me to do this for them so they don't end up backed up with more disgruntled customers. After two months of waiting (no surprise there- that's boat yards in spring), I have a perfectly tuned-up engine that doesn't run, complete with brand new parts that I'd already replaced with brand new parts, and four carburetors that never got cleaned (which was all I asked them to do). I got two "we'll have it done by" dates that came and went with out a single phone call. I even got to throw away a pair of binoculars and a box of fishing gear that I found submerged in a rain-filled glove box. I want my money back, and then some, but hey, writing this review is worth it if it means no one else has to go through this bs.

      My binoculars and electrical gear after two months submerged in rainwater. Not shown: Non-working motor with new parts I'd already replaced.
