    I've been going to Dave for over 10 years now and he has remained a solid source of knowledge and expertise for service and repairs. Though if I had to give one reason I return year after year I would have to say because he's honest and trustworthy. He gets busy during peak season so you need to plan ahead if possible but trust me he's worth the wait. I wouldn't trust my boat or my pocketbook to anyone else!

    Boaters Beware!! This Man Dave is at his wits end and will blow up at you for no legitimate reason and then blames you for all the boats he hasn't finished. He did a fairly expensive $6000 fix but I thought good repair on engine. We soon after had damaged trailer tow company brought boat to him. He had for several weeks. Don't you dare rush him either. He calls and says boat has been wet for a week mind you. He never let us know are boat was in the rain and full or water till three weeks later until it was pretty much ruined. Then says he won't do the job and bills you and starts charging storage fees. He loves to yell and woman and is very desrespectful He said he didn't have time to call us we should know better!!

    This guy knows his stuff. Knew what I needed without the part # and was spot on. They have a bunch of stuff inside and this will be my go to spot from now on.

    He also sent me a video of my little outboard running before I went and picked it up!

    My family and I have been using Dave for years now and can't say enough good things. I don't give many reviews but when it is well deserved I do. I have brought Dave everything starting with old 2 stroke outboards, 4 stroke outboards, and inboard outboard motors. We are always impressed with the work preformed. He always treats us like family. Your boat is in good hands with Dave.

    See all

Dennis replied back and was very kind and understanding and after discussing what I needed more he was able to give me a very reasonable price for the stereo and the labor for the install. He ordered the stereo and let me know when it would likeky come in, and after confirming he had it I came in for the work. They have cold tea and water available while you wait. :) I interacted with Dennis, Sam, and Jeremy who was the one to actually swap out the stereo. Everyone was very kind and professional. I'm very happy with my new stereo. I appreciate Dennis so much because I know I can be a difficult person to deal with sometimes; I like things my way and I communicate very directly. But he was great. I also got a quote for having keyless entry put in my vehicle and I'm currently weighing it out and seeing if I want to put the money into my old car. But I might be back soon to have that done also! Thanks again to Dennis and his crew for making this experience wonderful.

When I questioned it, they blamed it on my dash cam being front + rear... which is standard. Then they instantly dropped the price by $100, which tells you everything about how they price. I asked them to honor the original quote. They went to the manager, and he still refused--said the "lowest" they'd do was $285. So the price went from $185 $400 $300 $285 in a matter of minutes. That's not pricing, that's guessing what they can get out of you. Super disappointing because I live nearby and was ready to come back for more work, but not after this. Don't trust the phone quote and be ready to negotiate if you go here.

Sell you on services that you would never know are done, and from my own experiences, fluids don't get changed, plugs don't get changed, & bigger issues are not addressed. I see that Greg is rude here from a couple reviews here and there, he may be curt, but he is dead honest & a busy man because of this. I sold a boat, it had several issues that I was not aware of, it needed fiberglass repairs. The new owner was new to anything boats & on my recommendation, not request, took the boat to GS Marine. I can promise you that this shop was more than reasonable with the repairs, kept me abrupt of what was needed, even asked me to come down to verify the issues, sent me photos and his office staff was very communicative, especially since I was not the owner & just the guy paying the bill to make this sale right. It turned into a full gut & flip of the hull. it cost me money, but I feel better knowing that GS marine did this repair, and the new owners got a better boat than I had. The Keel looked better than what I ever had. This is not the first I had dealt with GS, I have had several friends who have used this shop & will recommend Greg to my mother if she had a boat. If you are on the fence, feel free to message me, I will give you my phone number & much more detail.

I contacted my dealer, and they told me most of the parts were discontinued and there was nothing they could do. I was seriously considering selling the boat and buying a new one. Instead, I decided to explore retrofitting the boat with modern digital systems. After some research, I found Gearhead Marine. From the very first conversation, I knew I had found the right shop. Courtney was fantastic. He clearly explained all my options and confidently told me, "When I'm done, you're going to have a brand-new boat." He was absolutely right! He completely overhauled my electrical and electronic systems, retrofitted everything to modern digital standards, and even took care of several issues on my trailer that I hadn't mentioned. He performed two separate sea trials to make sure every system was working perfectly before calling the job done. I couldn't be happier with the results. The boat now runs and handles better than it did when it was new. Courtney's expertise, attention to detail, and professionalism are outstanding. I will never let another boat mechanic touch my boat again. If you have an older boat or new one for that matter, that needs work, do yourself a favor and take it to Gearhead Marine. You won't regret it!
