This is my first ever on this platform. 2) It was the 4th of July. Pretty impressive to be open and give such personal attention. Christian, you have a customer for life!

His boat is one of the most stable in high waves/wind and is always clean and ready to fish, he always has the best equipment, does a perfect job of coaching you through the fishing, does an excellent job of cleaning the fish and makes the experience enjoyable for everyone. We have been thru three generations already on the Lucky Kid and I hope to have a fourth before he retires. You can't go wrong with Captain Ernie.

Right off the bat the owner starts being a douchebag to me but there's something very fishy about…read morehow this place does business especially their estimates and how they poorly communicate with their customers. I have never seen anything like it before how they can't even bother to pick up the phone to be upfront with a new prospective customer shopping around for the right shop to fix their boat. The only thing they did do was send me a brief short text telling me to bring my boat to them for an estimate and that was it and they refused to answer any of my questions asking them for some very important prerequisite information that anyone should be informed about before you go to any repair shop. They just expected that I will just blindly bring my boat to them without confirming they even offer a service to do the type of repair, the cost that they charge to do the estimate, and a rough cost quote of how much they typically charge for the type of repair. Only an idiot would be stupid enough to blindly bring a boat to this place. If they have to get any boat into their shop just to see it to tell you they can do the job when you can clearly see a picture that shows 2 spots of minor paint damage on a motor they sound like they don't know what they are doing or talking about. My insurance company wrote up an estimate from a virtual inspection. My insurance didn't need my boat in any shop to estimate the damage but the shop that already diagnosed my motor already told me what needed to be done, a minor paint job but they don't do paint. Anyone who would blindly go to these clowns has to be dumber than a door knob. Their requirement for you to pay them for an estimate first without giving you the necessary information you should know up front is just an excuse to lure new customers, who don't know any better, in the door to pay them for an estimate. No one goes to an auto repair shop without shopping around for and finding out from at least 2 to 3 shops how much it costs to do an estimate as well as the labor rate and a rough cost quote of what the shop typically charges to fix a car problem. Everyone knows that once you walk through that door to pay the estimate is when they got you but you should have enough information by then to have made your decision. No one wants to waste money bouncing around to different shops paying for estimates. So come on, I wasn't born yesterday and boat repair shops are no different. Something sounds too good to be true about this place. How can they have so many 5 star reviews but have very poor communication skills with new customers and not know how to answer a few simple preliminary questions up front thats important for any new customer to know? There are a few things I know for a fact why I do not trust the owner's high number of 5 star reviews and neither should you. He is very manipulative and narcissistic. He went to great lengths to suppress my review on Google and I've seen other people's negative reviews from years ago taken down recently but whenever someone happens to post a 1 star review he tells all his friends on the company Facebook page to post a bunch of 5 star reviews clearly to manipulate the public into believing the 1 star reviews are not real or accurate. In addition, When I tried to post my Google review of this place the owner retaliated against me with a lot of horrible things he said about me but none of what he said is true. Unfortunately Google does not provide reviewers any good methods of recourse against a business owner who chooses to respond abusively in a defaming manner. You can message them to no avail and hear nothing so I'm done with Google and I know not to take reviews on Google with a grain of salt. From now on I'll believe them when I see it happen. Beware unless you are ok with getting ripped off and just don't care what it costs to fix your boat. If you go here it's at your own risk that if you are not happy with their work they could try to get your review removed and slander you too for leaving them a bad review like they did to me on Google.

Second time, was from flood damage on my boat from the floods of 2017. The third, well this was my problem on scarps on port side from docking in heavy wilds and a downpour on the shore station. There are 4 levels of craftsmanship, 1 the fix it guy...does a fair job.2. The craftsman...does a really good job, but is not the detail type of work. 3 master craftsman he's the one when you need fine detailed work to be done, you pay for it but you get what you pay for. Then we get to Bill, he is far and away an artesian, in his field. Bill just does not want to do the job perfectly, he's a magician with his finished product. He does what he says he will, does it on budget, and you have complete confidence that your repair will be better than factory new. I trust my boat to no one else...Thanks again Bill, for your quality work, your dedication to doing the job right, and taking pride in your finished product. Jim B.
