I can't say enough about the great service I received at Lawson Boat and Motor. I'm new to boating…read moreand had purchased an old fishing boat. The motor was bad and certain parts were no longer manufactured. The team at Lawson spent weeks diligently trying to find the parts but were not successful. I ended up purchasing a used motor. Mark, Trevor, the President of Lawson's, Andy and even the owner of the marina all worked to fix problems that kept creeping up with the motor. Mark, knowing the trouble I had had with my first motor, went so far as to come in on his day off to make sure I would be taken care of. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, determined and creative in problem solving. They exhibited top customer service and patience towards me and my little fishing boat. Kudos and thanks to Lawson Boat and Motor.

Outstanding Boat Storage & Winterization - Above & Beyond Service!…read more I can't say enough good things about my experience storing my boat here! From the moment I first inquired, the manager was an absolute pleasure to deal with--knowledgeable, professional, and truly committed to making the entire process seamless. They didn't just offer storage; they provided peace of mind, which is exactly what every boat owner wants when entrusting their vessel to a facility for the winter. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. I was running behind on getting my boat properly covered before winter hit, and they noticed it before I even had a chance to worry about it. Instead of just letting my boat sit exposed to the elements, they took the initiative to ensure it was protected until I could get there--something I never expected but greatly appreciated. That level of care is rare in any business, let alone a storage facility! Beyond their incredible service, their pricing is unbeatable compared to other storage options in the area. There are no hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons--just straightforward, honest pricing for top-tier service. And when it comes to access, they make it effortless. Whenever I need to check on my boat or grab something from it, I never have any issues; they are always accommodating and make access simple. For anyone hesitant about storing their boat at a facility, I completely understand--security, exposure to the elements, and ease of access are always concerns. But this business checks every box: Secure, well-maintained facility - My boat was exactly as I left it, without a single worry about theft or damage. Winterization that goes the extra mile - They don't just offer storage; they make sure your boat is properly protected from harsh weather, saving you from costly damage in the long run. Customer-first approach - They notice the little things and take proactive steps to ensure your boat is cared for, even if you're not there to ask. Unmatched convenience - Whether it's storing, covering, or accessing my boat, they've made the entire process effortless. If you own a boat and need secure, reliable, and customer-focused storage, don't waste time looking anywhere else--this is the place to go! The level of service they provide is unmatched, and I will be recommending them to every boat owner I know. A huge thank you to the manager and the entire team for making this such a stress-free and outstanding experience. See you next season!

I have docked at SB for many years and am reporting, more than reviewing. SM's new manager- Tim…read moreand Sales Manager-Melissa have done more harm to this business in the last 2 1/2 years than ever before. Neither one of them know how to manage people as is evident by the scores of people who have quit and by the fact that these 2 have yelled at other employees and boaters in front of customers and boaters. Melissa even had to find someone to pilot the boats when she was attempting a sale, because she couldn't do it herself. (No license and no experience). It is extremely disappointing that the owner seems to be blind to what is really happening. The rates in 2023 increased by 30% and yet I have witnessed boaters cutting the grass because SB's has no employees to do this work. New restroom facilities were installed by prior management; however, under Tim's management are rarely cleaned. (Emptying the trash does not constitute cleaning). My educated guess is that they are down to under 5 employees (which includes the 2 "managers"). If the owner wants to keep this business afloat, then he should fire the 2 managers immediately and attempt to salvage his business. What was once a decent marina is now pretty bad. Sad to report, but thought you ought to know.

I recently had work done on my boat at smith boys. This included winter storage and several repairs…read morethat cost thousands of dollars. I was to have the boat moved from their property in the mid to end of June but had difficulty finding a hauler to take the larger boat. They were well aware of the challenges and provided no referral for a ship hauler. Instead of the end of June, I finally got it moved July 16. I was shocked when they hit me with an additional full summer storage charge which approached $800 for the extra few weeks I needed. No discussion, no advanced notification and no prorating. I was just shocked they had the nerve to do this. They have my money but they've earned an extremely unhappy customer who will never set foot on that property again. I will remember getting screwed by them for many, many years.

I used Ready About Sailing for my spring tune up due to their proximity to where I store my boat…read more This included a tune up, plugs, cap and rotor, and a routine change of the bellows on the Mercruiser out drive. After about a week on the water the engine began running rough and the out drive was clunking on turns and the engine temp was erratic. I then took the boat to my usual Marina for service. The wrong spark plugs were installed, ancient plug wires not changed, found corroded wires in the distributor, bellows were installed wrong and kinked, blocking coolant water flow, and outdrive reinstalled without proper shims, causing the clunking on turns. All told, about $2K to address these issues.
