This is my first boat so I am not too informed but Alex was extremely helpful and made sure to address any and all concerns I had. He also made sure to keep me updated throughout the entire process. It's been a few months and it's still running perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better service. You've gained a lifelong customer!

Outstanding service! My Yamaha engine was stuck down in the water, and despite being extremely…read morebusy, he came out to my boat after 8 PM to help. He quickly diagnosed the problem, got the engine raised, and even assisted me in ordering the necessary parts. He's a one-man operation, so response times can vary, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in honesty, knowledge, and dedication to his customers. It's hard to find someone this trustworthy in the marine repair business. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and honest boat repair service.

I recommend Ricardo to work on anything on one's boat as his knowledge of boats, engines,…read moreelectrical and plumbing systems is vast! I am not aware of anything he can't repair. Ricardo is an unassuming, modest but highly intelligent person who quietly listens to one's issues with the boat, engine or systems and then just goes to work confirming what one intuits he already knows is the problem and how to fix it? I wish I had called him to work on my boat sooner as instead, I called some else (I previously posted a review about that "mechanic"), who not only clearly is not as astute when it comes to outboard engines but boats' systems and unlike Ricardo, charges abusively for his sloppy services. Ricardo shows up on time but if he expects to be detained by some other job, has the courtesy to call the customer to alert him/her he's delayed. Unlike the other guy, he does not dress with a monogram uniform as he allows his work speak for him, not a uniform. I have owned sail and motor boats from 23' to 46' for 50 years (yes, I am 75 years old as the other guy for some reason, saw fit to point out in response to my review) and have taken multiple boating courses, inclusive of outboard engine repair. Over the years I have used the services of multiple boat yards, electricians and mechanics. Ricardo stands out way above any one else who has worked on my boats! I enthusiastically recommend him to boating friends and family without reservation!

This is an updated review: Alex Kosinksi is unprofessional and untrustworthy. We used him more than…read more3 times, and always late (or no show). He did DAMAGE to the surface/flooring of our yacht. He made us pay up front for services (a red flag there) and parts, giving us a huge sob-story about getting into an accident, behind on bills etc. Then he kept the money from parts he billed us but didn't use. He sent us repeated texts saying he will refund us, but of course never did. We finally filed a complaint with the BBB and texted it to him, which eventually got him to refund us (see attached screenshots...note the dates). I added an extra star for him at the very least doing ONE thing he said he would (despite the effort involved). My strong recommendation is to go with someone else.

After 3 weeks and I got the boat back I was informed, "Customer was made aware of poor repairs made to the bottom and may cause bottom to delaminate and take on water." This information was not provided prior to the painting, it would have been nice to know before hand. However, while working on the boat at home found my bilge pump disconnected.I informed John who said "I know nothing about it but sorry about that." He offered no compensation or repair. Work done seems to be ok, ramps closed so I can't test the motor. John seems to know his business about repairs however does not take responsibility for damages done to your property while in his care. Beware

They were able to squeeze me in as I explained I needed the boat for mini season, even though they were very busy. Long story short, I got a call a day or two later and the boat was ready for pickup. Even better, the total bill was significantly less than I was quoted for just the part at their competitor down the road. They have more than earned my business and appreciation after being ripped off by every other etec mechanic/shop in a 50 mile radius.
