Finally got the call that it was ready at the end of April 2014 two days before I left for a two week vacation in Aruba. They called several times and I told them I would be out of town. When I arrived back home it took week or so to get the trailer lined up and get there to pick up . On arrival I was given the bill for over $1700, $250 of which was charged storage for the prior 3 weeks, $100 shop supplies, $75 environmental disposal fees?, $75 miscellaneous fee?. When I asked about these fees, one of the owners, Leon, got upset and yelled at me "Do you want the boat back or not?". On top of all this I was asked to sign a form saying that all work was done satisfactorily...ha.. They couldn't even crank the motors to show me that ANYTHING had been done at all much less satisfactorily repaired!! What a way to do business.. They will never get any more of my business!

It was a fun adventure taking the bobbing bridge down to this floating marina store and fuel dock…read more The buoyancy of the bridge conjures childhood memories of playground bridges--not the easiest route for those with stability challenges--but a joy for those in touch with their inner child! I learned from the two young men working yesterday that once COVID threat has subsided this location will begin renting paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and pontoon boats again. In the meantime, the store is recently re-opened and sparsely supplied with some basic camping supplies, snacks and drinks, Havana flip flops, hot/cold thermoses/water bottles, and yacht club tanks/tees for sale. It's a small, humble establishment but was doing some steady business fueling boats. **I'd love to see this place offering fresh burgers/deli sandwiches but maybe that'd bring too much of a crowd of hungry boaters;). Speaking of hunger--to support this local business, I purchased my first ever pickle in a pouch! It was a a Tapatio's Salsa Picante and it was delicious!! My partner was skeptical but enjoyed his fair share;) Fortunately, there are many trash bins throughout the state park (where we headed after) to dispose of the leftover pickle juice and pouch. If you're supplied with some whiskey, this would be great for campsite/onboard picklebacks!!
