Eldies pulls the boat…read morefrom the water and stores it for the winter along with winterizing the engine and putting it back in the water in the spring. Eldie owns the shop and his son Justin and daughter Kirsten work at the business which makes them a great team because they are a very close family. When I am in Galena I love to go fishing so my boat is very important to me. The one thing I greatly admire about Eldies is they do excellent work and I know I can absolutely 100% trust them. Eldie recently helped me get a new trolling motor as mine was outdated and not functional. Eldie had a boat owner looking to sell his trolling motor which was almost brand new and truly state of the art. Eldie was able to get me a great deal on the trolling motor so I bought it and Eldies son Justin and staff member Mason rewired the boat and did an excellent job of installing the motor which is so simple to operate. If you need work on your boat in the Galena or Dubuque area, Eldies should be your first stop. They do outstanding, reliable work and I know they are going to tell me the truth and give me options to resolve the problem. This is a long time, family run business that does outstanding work and they can always be trusted to do the right thing for their customers.

My father's boat and motor reached the 40 year mark in top condition thanks to the continual care…read more(over decades) by Bob's Marine. We always followed Bob's advice on how to care for the boat and motor, and were able to sell the boat/motor for a very reasonable price. Bob and Deb always treated us with respect and that special small town consideration. When we were getting ready to sell it, Deb even helped us write the ad for Craig's List; the boat sold in less than two days of posting. We'll be forever grateful to Bob's Marine and the outstanding service received over the many years they maintained the boat and motor.

Being new to Savanna and loving our pontoon we had before moving here. My wife and I decided we…read morewould like to have a fishing boat to go in shallower waters to pan fish. I like to give local businesses my business when I can. So on Friday the 21st. I talked with Jarrett and made an inquiry about a boat they were consigning. He said he'd ask the individual that night. I hand heard back from him on Saturday and it was approaching the last 45 mins.. of the shops hours so I decided to ask in person . I couldn't make a deal on that particular boat . At that point Jeff spoke up and referred to a boat he'd would sell me for 2k. I looked at it and told him I liked it but would he take a sporting good item on partial trade. He agreed that he would look at my item .I told him id go get it ( I just lived up the block and told him I could be back in just a couple min. There was 20bmins. Left in his day. He said " im not looking at anything today" and to bring it in on Monday. So Monday comes i pack it up around 945 am and bring it in. I was greeted with im to busy I have stuff I have to get this done. Myself not wanting to take it back home and then later in the day( 3pm per Jeff) load up and come back. I had a few preliminary questions​​ I needed answers to ask him that could save us some time and trouble in the long run. So I asked for just a couple minutes to clear up things. After a couple questions. I got a statement I never thought id hear from a retail dealer. He said Yah know im pretty nice to point and then....) I was like wow a couple minutes and im making you mad ? His response was " you are getting there" I was shocked and per him he wasn't working on something directly for a customer. All I wanted originally was for him to look at my item for a couple min. And we agree on the difference id pay or we wouldn't. No hard feelings . I reminded him that we could take care of paperwork later if need be. I had out of town plans id have to cancel if I waited until he wanted to help me . At that point he started referring to me as "honey"​ .three different times he called me honey. He finally said what did I want to pay difference. I told him and was counting my item 300.00 under what I had in it. His statement was aFirm " No" !! And he stated that "he doesn't mind negotiating , but he wasn't doing Bullshit" and said come back at three o'clock honey!!!. I work in a boat shop part time and have been in retail many times in my 63 years. I / we never talked to customers that way. I would have been fired. Needless to say I didn't make my three o'clock appointment he dictated. And I sold my item for a fair price and will be taking my business elsewhere. And not be recommending m& m to anyone. I do have to say the only positive was that Jarrett was nice , friendly and understanding.

I broke the skag off my mercury 150. They had me drop it off in the morning. I received a Curtsey call from Jenn that they were painting the skag and start driving in and it will be done before you get there. I left my house and rolled in to my boat ready for hookup. They charged a good price and I was more than satisfied with the service received from beginning to end. I recommend these guys to anyone that runs into a rock like I did.
