Boats are expensive to maintain, so it's important to trust that your boatyard is reasonable and…read morecompetent. My boat has been in and out of a number of North Bay yards over the past 30 years, and Bay Marine is the one I trust. Each item in their work orders is either a fixed price or an accurate, reasonable estimate that they usually come in under. If additional work is needed they ask for a change order. Jaime keeps me in the loop as they work through issues. I can get at the boat 24/7 if necessary while it's in the yard. I used to get a bottle of wine along with my bill from KKMI, and it was the most expensive wine I ever got. Bay Marine has good communication, prices no higher than they have to be, and an always filled candy dish in the office. Good enough for me.

I am having a horrible experience. I called around and got quotes from a few places for a dual axel…read moretrailer. Boat specialist beat all the quotes ans said it would be ready in a month. So i paid my deposit and stared waiting. After a month and a few days after the date i was told it would be ready i called and was told it was told then that it wasn't ready yet and it was going to be another month. I reluctantly kept my order because i didnt want to start this whole process with someone else at this point (even though kokopelie said they would have a trailer ready and delivered to my house in 4 weeks). After the next month passed called and they said it was going to be 2 more weeks. Disappointed again i kept waiting. After about 10 days they called and said its here. So the next day i drove from davis to richmond (3 hours) only to be show a trailer with only 1 axel. Idk how someone else didnt notice this before me but i cost me a tank of gas and 6 hours of driving. Then after another week of not having any idea whats going on they finally tell me that there is a trailer in Washington and that there is a truck going up there as we speak to pick it up and that it will be here next monday and i can pick it up tuesday. Im writing this on that tuesday right now. I just talked to them and they are now telling me that the manufacturer is making it right now and it will be here early next week. Idk if i even believe it. Ive missed 3 months of this el niño fishing so far waiting for this.

We made arrangements for me to pick up the generator at his new address (651 South 15th Street, Richmond CA 94804). At first, I wasn't sure I was at the correct location because I was looking at a dirt lot with a truck parked on it. But yes, that is where he is located. I now have what I need and know who I can count on for future service/purchases. Four stars only because he doesn't take credit cards and doesn't have an office (yet!) as he is still in the process of settling into his new location. Happy to upgrade to 5 stars when he gets it all together. Love his dogs!

I recently had my Moore 24 at Gilles' shop to have a few repairs and modifications done. Gilles…read morewas a pleasure to work with and his fiberglass guy Denise is a wizard. #1 Toe rails. They look great. The contour fits the boat and is high enough to provide good traction without being imposing. Beautiful execution and design. #2 Misc repairs. Denise did an incredible job repairing an old inspection port and compass hole that needed filling. I couldn't even see the transition in paint until he pointed it out to me. #3 Barney post. Gilles and Denise designed a custom barney post to replace the thwart where the main is currently attached. This opens up the cockpit and makes it much easier to move around in the boat. Wow. Great design and a total beast construction wise. While it is still pretty light to pick up I am convinced I will probably be able to lift the boat by the barney post. It is made from an old carbon/kevlar spinnaker pole section and a number of custom bits. Very very nice. #4 Various soft padeyes and delrin inserts. I've used these all over my boat to install hardware (turning blocks, twings, etc...). Replacing so much stainless junk on my boat with these bits from Gilles is a big part of how I pulled 115# off a 2000# boat. Highly recommended. These guys are the best.
