Finding a truly reliable boat mechanic these days feels almost impossible -- but this guy is the…read morereal deal. After years of struggling to find someone competent, honest, and detail‑oriented, I finally found a rock‑star mechanic who treats my 31' Tiara Open like it's his own. He's clean, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Every job he's touched has been done right -- not patched, not guessed, not halfway -- done correctly. He's worked on everything from gas lines, water pumps, timing the engines, fixing wipers, oil changes, plugs, winterizing, commissioning.....you name it, he's fixed it, and he's fixed it perfectly. What really sets him apart is his professionalism. He shows up prepared, he explains what he's doing, and he doesn't leave a mess behind. The level of competence is rare, and the peace of mind is priceless. After years of searching, I can finally say it: I will never use anyone else. If you want your boat in the hands of someone who actually knows what they're doing, this is the mechanic you want. I've been using Matt Rysz for about 4 years now. If you want things fixed, he is your guy! Oh and you can tell a lot about how good a mechanic is if you see their boat. His.... You could eat off the floors!

For example, I was going out for several days with my bro on his catamaran and I asked if he needed anything for the boat. He needed line tape. I called West Marine in Stratford and they didn't have any. I called Milford Boat Works and they had it which made me happy as I am from Milford and didn't have to go out of my way. Since it was raining, I decided to get some rain gear for my trip. Milford Boat Works had just what I needed. And, you know how the saying goes, if you have rain gear, the sun will be shinning! So true. Staff at MBW are very friendly and helpful. I also saw some other items that I needed at home. Tubing for my water fountain is sold by the foot so I was able to pick that up as well.

They found the problem and fixed it quickly and at the very reasonable price quoted. While working on my boat they found another minor problem.

I would highly recommend BPM in Shelton CT. Thank you Randy!

When I put my boat in the water one of the lower units blew. I took it to it to another marina and they told me that this happened because all my 4 drain plugs oil and gear case oil plugs where finger tight and never tightened with a socket wrench and my seals where ripped and never changed which is mandatory when you do a Mercury tuned up. (see attached photo) I had sea water in both my engines and both my lower units. When I called the owner Don of Guilford boat yard to inform him of what happened he got really nasty and rude with me and told me I was on my own and didn't want anything to do with it.

The engine came off one of their rental boats - but was told that it was 'the owners boat' (I found out the rental boat bit buy looking at their web site and seeing the boat and the engine in their photos). When I started to ask questions, the sales guy was 100% rude and evasive. He promised to send the service records but when my wife called the main office to see about servicing the engine for shipping, the sales guy called back and went off on her. She was supper upset and crying after the call. I was just trying to buy a motor. No need to make my wife cry. Probably lucky that we did not buy the motor. They were clearly trying to hide something. I would stay away from Rex Marine. There is something bad going on there. No one does customer service this way.
