I've had my TLC12-30 for a few years now hauling my 2825 Kingfisher offshore. This big rig tows…read morelike a dream with EOH stainless brakes. I've recently been looking to make some changes to the set up of the trailer for overall ease of use. I contacted Bill Bowes and he took the time to walk me through all of my options and offered his opinion to best resolve my "wants". He suggested I bring by the rig to take a quick look at it to make sure the truck trailer and boat are all sitting properly. I found Bill to be a very down to earth and personable individual that was more than willing to share his years of knowledge. If Bill can help you out he'll do what he can to provide you the best service possible.

Ryan and the team did an excellent job repairing the bow…read morecore on our Bayliner 3488 in June 2019. (M.Y. Gypsy Mist). I was really happy with the repair methodology chosen that saved the original deck finish and made the job more affordable. Also it was great that they were able to fit us in so quickly so we got to enjoy the boating season with our "new to us" boat. Lastly the price came in under the original estimate which is always a plus and Ryan passed that saving on to the customer which was very much appreciated. It has rained pretty hard since then, and there have been no leaks at all and everything is working well. Hard working no frills shipyard they don't have a fancy office - but they do good solid work and have fair and honest pricing.

If you have $110,000 lying around and looking for a custom boat, this local father/son team should…read morebe one of your dock stops, especially if you're looking for luxury, reliability and reputation. According to one of the guys helping out at the booth, they've been in business for over 20 years. Known for their strong hulls, and looking at a closer inspection, you can see why. It's got that "V" look (unlike those sleek power boats) that splits the water, better fuel efficiency, easier in terms of impact thus wear and tear. Just a matter of personal preference as it does look a bit outdated. Call it more family-style lol. Does take several months to come up with the blueprints. But really, they can make the boat, right here in Richmond, for any budget. No pressure, friendly service.

I have owned my Monaro now for just a little over a year, and I could not be more pleased with the…read morequality of the build, and the performance of the boat. For the same money, you can by a flashier production boat, but you will not have the quality and structural soundness of a Monaro. Dan and Brad were always available for advice during the build. It was great to see the boat come together from the ground up. The few minor issues that have cropped up in the year since launch have been handled quickly and effectively by the Monaro team. You will have to be patient during the build, but you will not be disappointed with the end result!
