After discussions with David he advised he hoped to have the oil leak fixed in 2 weeks and would then start on the tune. He ended up taking until July to get the oil leak fixed. I would never hear from him and it got to I would phone every day to speak with him to be told he would call me back and he never would. About every 6 weeks I would catch him on the phone and he would advise he had to get his big money customers to Desert Storm, Outlaw Shootout, or some other event and then he would get back to my boat. The fact that I like to use my boat as well was lost on him apparently. After July 4th he started on the tune and again I would never hear from him minus the usual having to get people to other boating events. I ended up getting my engine builder to call David to get him moving and that helped. David would work on the tune but could not get it right. I ended up getting advised that the boat was fine except for the tune and to take it to a tuner. When I picked the boat up( in March of 2025) it was disgusting, covered in mildew, my swim steps were damaged where David had not checked my outdrive when he raised it, my passenger seat was torn, and there was a ton of corrosion. David's response to this was "there's salt in the air." I ended up taking the boat to a tuner only to discover that the issue was a fuse, apparently fuses are beyond David and his staff capabilities. In summary if you want to always to be shuffled behind people, never get updates on your project, and your boat neglected, by all means go see David Whelan at Gulf Coast Complete Marine(if you do take your boat here tell him your going to Desert Storm, LOTO or Key West and he may work on your boat). My receipt asked me to leave a review so here it is. In summary this is the worst business I've ever dealt with in any industry.

He kept everything fun but made sure we were learning, was super patient and let us make mistakes and then calmly correct. He is a master in his trade and on top of that he's just plain funny as hell to hang out with! Everyone we met at Windward was very welcoming and friendly, the boat was spotless when we arrived, everything worked, and it had all the essentials (silverware, dishes, etc etc) that you'd find in a really good air B&B, and the marina is ideal. No question, get your sailing fix through Windward and request Capt Doug!

Updating the review I posted last year…read more Let's see - we had a bottom job done. Looked great. Lousy job. They didn't prime the bottom before they painted - so not only did the paint come off in a bunch of places (painted 11 months ago), but it was EXPENSIVE paint and was supposed to last. The worst part is that the shipyard that we took it to this month said that because the priming wasn't done, we started getting bubbles in our fiberglass bottom. Not good. Also, one of the reasons we wanted to have it hauled out at the time was that they said they could maintain our stabilizers. When it came time, they said they didn't have the special tool they needed to do the job. STILL fuming. My advice to you is to stay away.

I told him that I did in fact have a few projects I wanted to get taken care before my wedding on the 16th of May so I could take the boat out after the wedding, and I gave him a few items I needed done. We exchanged a few emails between the 17th and the 20th. On the 20th he emailed me saying "My schedule's super fluid so reach out on my cell at your convenience to discuss the overall. I look forward to it." So, as he requested, I reached out by cell 2 times on the 21st, then again on the 24th. After 3 attempts, I followed up with an email on May 1st to no avail. I was ultimately unable to get him to respond. On May 13th I was finally able to get somebody on the phone, though it was not Jonathan. This person told me she would get on it and see what we could do to resolve the issue. I later got a quote for the work requested, and despite it being a bit high, I was willing to pay a little more if I can get the work done quickly. The same nice young lady gave me a call back and said that unfortunately they would not be able to do anything for a couple of weeks due to many jobs ahead of me. This left me no choice but to face the fact that my plans for taking my boat out this weekend were not happening. I am unclear why they dragged this on. If they had just told me up front that they could not get to it, or that they had better things to do, I would have gladly took my business elsewhere. It seems my money does not spend as well at Y.E.S. as it does at other businesses. Oh well, Brian at Stix N' Rig'n got me taken care of and gave me better pricing anyways.
