The absolute worst experience from start to "finish"…read more The entire staff, including the owners son "little John" is disgustingly immature and unprofessional. They do not even greet you when you walk in. They make the experience uncomfortable and ruin the excitement. They sell boats out from under you. They make promises they cannot keep. NEVER deal with Pete in "sales" because the only thing he sells is BS. As a woman, I have a firmer handshake than that "man" who cannot even look you in the eyes while "shaking" your hand. I have NEVER dealt with a worse basin. We roamed and looked at the boats ourselves. They do NOT care and it shows. When I called to speak with "little john" he did not care at all to hear nor listen to my concerns. This place is a joke. Do not waste your time nor money. For you little John. Who I told I would review and you made a joke of it. Take care. XO. Update 4/1: (wish it was an April Fools joke) Response from the owner (photo attached)- Clearly very mature and professional the same way he was when I called and gave him the opportunity to address the things my husband and I felt needed to be expressed. Instead of saying let me make this right, there was zero concern. Complete disrespect and an absolutely pompous response. Making jokes about Mental Illness is very serious. Not to mention we never even met in person for you to say such a thing. As previously mentioned- we helped ourselves around the basin. Although we are not surprised by your response, you have a lot of growing up to do. Thank you for proving my point. You should be ashamed of yourself. Have a great day!

I left my previous review, but Yelp would not let me edit my previous post. This is an update as of…read more7/24/2020 Now my engine is dead weight. While trying to (finally) go fishing we got out into the bay, came around a buoy, and started to lose power. The motor did not sound right, so I went 5 MPH almost the whole way back. I got to the mouth of my canal, and it just stopped. Couldn't get more than 2 MPH out of her. Managed to get back into open water and hailed BoatUS for a tow back to the dock. This was the second trip with the boat and motor. A more knowledgeable friend and I have been troubleshooting extensively, we did simple stuff, like check spark plugs, wiring, etc., to disassembling and cleaning the carburetor. We disassembled the fuel pump, and found that almost every single seal had a tear in it. We replaced the whole assembly, still, nothing. Upon further investigation, we discovered that THE ENTIRE POWERHEAD IS LOOSE. When I gave them my motor, the shifter was broken, but it purred. Now it shifts, but doesn't run at all. I have another mechanic coming to the dock to look at it this week, one that has been 110% more transparent and honest in communication. When I amended my previous review, the part that I left out, in good faith, was that they ASKED me to "do something about the Yelp! review." I did something, as, at the time, they did the right thing. Now I'm doing something again. My motor is old. Very old. It probably has very little time left to begin with, but other than the shifting issue, the thing was a little reliable vintage outboard. Now it's entirely possible that I'll have to part it out. This motor has a ton of sentimental value, and that just breaks my heart. I'd say I can't believe all that has transpired, but when the towboat driver, and a handful of other mechanics and marine businesses I've visited have not had a single thing positive to say about them, that should be telling enough. Even if I was contacted about this (based on the communication I've had, fat chance), I don't want these people anywhere near this, or any other outboard I might ever own.

We hired Lukens Marine to shrink wrap our patio furniture last Fall. My son also had them shrink…read morewrap his furniture. My son had a seam open up on his wrapped furniture and called Mike at Lukens. Mike told him he was out of town for a family wedding but would come by the following week to address the issue. He never came to resolve the issue. Today I opened up our patio furniture and there was easily 3" of water pooled on the bottom of the shrink wrap packaging and there were decayed leaves in the shrink wrapping as well. Clearly the shrink wrap wasn't properly sealed at the time it was applied. There was rusty water running out of the legs of the patio table and bench. My deck has visible signs of rust stains from where the water accumulated and came in contact with the furniture frames. Covering the pieces with furniture covers in prior years wasn't a good solution. The covers would blow off and water would penetrate. I expected a more professional outcome by choosing to shrink wrap the pieces. Clearly that was not the outcome we received. I won't use or recommend Lukens Marine Services for shrink wrapping in the future.

Great service, was a pleasure to work with! My boat hasn't looked so good since the day I bought it.read more

Bob and his son at Gulf Fiberglass are great craftsman to work with if you want higher quality…read moremarine fiberglass repairs. They repaired our 13' Boston Whaler Sport helm/thwart seat that cracked thanks to a designed-in manufacturing flaw that placed a spliced in the balsa support right in the middle of the seat. We were lucky that it took 22 years before this flaw presented itself. This is probably due to our taking great care of our boat that we are the original owners. (After our seat cracked, we discovered that every other similar era Whaler that we could find, had their seat cracked exactly as ours failed, validating Bob's diagnosis of this design flaw.) Given our desire to maintain our boat's showroom condition we are so glad that we chose to have Gulf Fiberglass repair our boat. Thanks to their excellent work our seat looks as if it never was damaged. Additionally, our seat is now even better than new, thanks to Bob's suggestion to replace the inadequate balsa core with the strongest yet light weight core replacement available for this repair - Nidacore. As soon as Bob suggested the upgrade to a Nidacore replacement over the flimsy balsa core we knew that we found the right craftsman to do the repairs. Every other "repair" shop we called before speaking with Bob gave us sketchy explanations on how they planned to make the repair. Every one of these other shops left way too much doubt in my mind to entrust them with making the correct repair. So if you want high quality craftsman who take the time to do things the right way and also go above and beyond to improve your repair, If possible, then we highly recommend Gulf Fiberglass. We're glad that we did and know that you will be too! Wendy & John Penn
