I had…read morethe Side Mount shift lever changed a few years ago and ever since it just would not shift correctly. After several return trips to get it fixed without success, I had to give up on the repair shop that did the work. I then came across Curtis Boat Works and had a conversation with Don. He suggested a few things to look for that might solve the problem. His advice was right on target! It now shifts smoothly and as it should. I only wish I would have found Don sooner. Thanks again!

I recommend Chris without reservation as a knowledgeable, informative, thorough and enjoyable…read moresurveyor. The survey was originally going to be for insurance but prospective buyers materialized, so they and I spent the morning with Chris, listening to his observations and winding up understanding a lot more than when we started. This Cape Dory 30 powerboat is 35 years old, so there was a lot to talk about. His detailed 55 page report, with text and photos, listed what was in good shape (his term is "serviceable"), what needed fixing, and what should be looked at further. It was a roadmap for making a sturdy old boat ready for sea and fit for the 350 mile trip from San Francisco Bay to its new home in Southern California. The cost of the survey was a bit lower than the other two I considered. That wasn't a factor in my choice of Chris - that was based on the sample surveys I saw - but it might be another reason for you to check him out.

Chris is the best surveyor I have encountered in 30 years of boat buying. He is extremely…read moreknowledgeble, energetic, personable and did a very thorough and complete evaluation. He spent over 6 hours on the boat including a 2 hour sea trial. He looked in every nook and cranny and even removed a screwed in panel so he could see if the boat had a galvanic isolator buried under the dashboard. I give him an A plus. Makes me want to buy another boat so I can work with him again

I had a very disappointing experience with Mike Marine. When I initially spoke with Bryan, I was…read moreassured that he was an authorized Evinrude mechanic, which gave me confidence to move forward with the repair. I dropped off my lower unit for installation, expecting professional service. After several days, I found out they didn't even have the proper software to calibrate my actuator--something that should be basic for a shop claiming Evinrude expertise. That was already a red flag. It got worse after I took my boat home. When I tilted the engine up, oil poured out of the motor, indicating that something was clearly mishandled or improperly reassembled. Overall, this experience left me feeling like they lack the necessary tools, knowledge, and attention to detail to perform reliable work. I would not recommend this shop if you want your boat serviced correctly. The boat was dirty. The cables were hanging. Now I have to take my boat to some other shops.

Tugzilla had a stern thruster cowling literally fall off, as unbeknownst to me, that the tunnel and the cowling were not compatible despite being from the same manufacturer.

I took my boat to Sierra West in October 2024 to have SeaDek flooring put in it. Was told it was…read moreabout a 2-month job. 9 months later, multiple excuses, lied to several times and found out the flooring material was never ordered, extensive damage done to my boats hull and upholstery while it was in their possession, substandard work done (used superglue to fix a broken bow light when I asked them to install new one that I provided, put varnish/lacquer on my teak swim platform when I never contracted with them to do any work on the platform, built one of the floor hatch pieces incorrectly, etc. and I could go on). The final straw was when it was determined that his scanning equipment to accurately measure the boat for the SeaDek fabrication was broken and he was not going to be able to complete the flooring properly. His solution was to make a hand drawn pattern with mylar fabric and a sharpy!!!! The fabricator I spoke with said absolutely not and that he would not cut the SeaDek material with that type of method. I ended up taking my boat elsewhere to have the work completed. The hatch piece had to be completely rebuilt. I asked Sierra West for my money back and the owner refused. I took him to small claims court where he refused to negotiate in mediation prior to appearing in front of the judge. All I asked for was my money back which was $5000.00. Since he was unwilling, we had to go to the judge, so I sued for the maximum amount ($12,500.00) I won the case!!! He decided to appeal. We then went to the Superior Court, and he lied to the judge about the previous attempt to negotiate. He told the judge that I was the one unwilling. Ultimately, we negotiated finally and I got my money back. On August 24th, 2026 I received my $5000.00 back (almost 2 years later). I highly recommend you steer clear of this business. The poor quality of work, lack of respect and care of your boat while it is in their possession and lack of knowledge about the products to be used on boats (even though this is what they are supposed to be experts in) is scary. Don't let him do this to you.

The entire experience was a disaster, characterized by zero communication, complete disregard for customer service, and blatant unprofessionalism. When I first met Lou, he seemed friendly, but then I was hit with a cloud of marijuana smoke following him out of his office. Fine, I don't judge, but it's hard to trust someone who can't stay sober enough to run a business. When my boat trailer was towed to GT Boats, Lou had promised to move my boat and trailer to the back of the shop within 30 minutes and find a place for it. I left it in his hands and awaited for his update. However after a few days with no updates, no returned calls, and no communication whatsoever, I got suspicious. I stopped by at 6 a.m. to find my boat still sitting on the street--4 days later. I immediately called Lou from my cell phone, but it went straight to voicemail. When I called from my work phone, he picked up right away. I asked why I hadn't received any updates and why my boat was still on the street. He gave me the excuse that he was still looking for parts and claimed he'd move my boat at once. I told him I was worried about my gear being stolen, and he assured me not to worry. At that point, I realized I couldn't trust this guy to do the work he promised. Three days later, my boat was still sitting on the street 1 full week after dropping it off, so I called a tow company to take it away. Lou's either scamming people or too busy getting high to actually run a business. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.
