    I would not recommend going here for boat repair. The mechanics are dishonest and will over charge…read moreyou upon completion of services. I took my boat here to have the boots replaced. I was told that with the boots they do the water pump, gimbal bearing, universal joints, and basically anything else needing service regularly. Next thing I know I'm getting a call stating my engine is out of alignment and that there's a lot more wrong with the boat. Granted its not uncommon to find more wrong with it, so I got a quote on what it would cost to fix the rest of if. I was quoted at $2200 for everything, including the boot job, he said give or take a little depending on the costs of the parts. He didn't give me a write up though and said he would do it tomorrow. He acted like he couldn't be bothered with doing it right then and there. So I told him if the cost was going to be much more than $2200 I needed a call to let me know. The next time I heard from them was to state the repairs were complete. He ended up charging me $2,926 without my approval to do that much work. When asked to explain the bill there wasn't any additional parts or work done than what was originally quoted. He applied a $300 discount which brought it down to $2,626, which was still well over what was originally quoted. He wouldn't put my boat in the water to test it until I payed the bill, so I decided to just pay it because I've lost enough of the summer already waiting for repairs on my boat. I took one of his mechanics out on the boat with me for the test run. The one who claimed he did all of the work on my boat. I noticed it was running hot, to which he replied "Yeah, I noticed that too when I was running the tests on the shore." He also followed it up with, "That's normal at first with a new impeller because it needs to break in." So I asked him, "You did in fact replace the impeller?" To which he replied "Yes". I got the boat out onto open water and it cooled down. We came back in and I dropped the mechanic off at the gas dock because he was parked there. In the short distance I traveled from the gas dock to my boat well the engine started red lining temperature wise. I quickly docked my boat and headed to the repair shop to notify them there was still problems and it needed to be fixed. Something that was clearly admitted to that they worked on. He then told me that wasn't on the work order, which was conveniently left off of it. They then wanted to charge me a haul out fee, plus repairs for that. To which I told them that is unacceptable and this work was already supposed to have been done, and that his mechanic said that part was replaced by him. I was told it needed to be cleared with the owner. Two days passed before I heard anything back. I had to call them to even find out what was going on. I was then put in contact with the owner who seemed to not know anything of the situation. I explained it to him, and he said he would talk to his mechanics. When I heard back from them all I was offered was a 20 percent discount for work that was supposed to already have been done. I told them this was unacceptable and was put back in contact with the owner. I further explained the situation how I was lied to about the initial cost, and that the repairs weren't complete and that it was their responsibility to fix it. He said he would have to talk to the other owners to decide what to do. You can see how this is getting ridiculous. The next day I got a call back and he stated best he could do is a 50% discount because he only made $27 profit on that job. Which I told him that's a flat out lie. His labor rate alone is $95 per hour, to which his mechanics aren't getting all of that. Parts I'm sure he's marking up at least 15 - 20%. So now the owner is lying to me at this point, continuing to point out the $300 discount, which still left the bill $400 over what I was quoted. My boat remains in the water unfixed and I'm left holding the bill. If you are looking for an honest repair shop for your boat don't go here.

    First year keeping my boat here, very nice marina, clean, and tight security. Had my exhaust…read moreflappers on Merc replaced. Put in the work order and was told I would get a call with need estimate. Been a week and went to my boat noticed my cover was half assed snapped on and noticed old exhaust flappers laying on the floor. "I guessed they fixed it" I said to myself. Then received a invoice through my email. I'll give them the 3stars for quick in-house repairs, but customer service lacks. 10% off on parts if you keep your boat here.

    Wouldnt have minded having a poor catch rate if he wasn't so rude. Our group felt like he was…read moreannoyed to take us out. There were more rules than the amount of fish caught.

    I was excited to book a musky charter with Steve as I grew up watching his segments and commercials…read moreon Practical Sportsman (now Michigan Outdoors). He runs a small operation with nice vessels and was good about returning calls texts and emails. I had a corporate trip with 4 people total and per the paperwork we were to depart from metro party shoppe at 3 pm. I arrived early (2:20 pm) and my guests (In a different car) were late and arrived at 3:15 pm. During the entire time we waited together, Steve kept saying that we were late and that he was not going to be able to make it to the best spot, and that they were going to have barely any time to fish. When my guests arrived the first words he said were something like, hi, you are all really late, you've made things difficult, we have to go now. His paperwork said it was illegal to take liquor into Canadian waters, so I did not bring any. When my guests showed up with a 12 pack of beer, he allowed them to bring it on board, then after we were off the dock, told them how it was not allowed and how much trouble we could all get into if stopped. This also made it appear as if I had neglected to bring beer to a fishing trip, which, when i think about it, is really what i have an issue with. As far as the fishing we did not hook a single muskie, however we may have gotten one bite, which Steve said would have made the trip a "Success". I know that much of that is beyond the control of the captain, however for $960.00 for 4 hours of fishing, I would expect him to have a better command of the hot spots. On the way home Steve told my guests that Muskies are easy to find and catch, but that they made it hard by being so late and that we could not get to the good spot. Again, I would have expected a bit of flexibility as WE WERE ONLY 15 MINUTES LATE. His first mate, Len was pretty cool and very laid back and held good conversation during the voyage. I'm sure Steve has run and will run other successful charters, but overall I thought he was a dick and it felt like he was phoning it in. Not worth $900.00, will not book again.
