He was knowledgeable and very friendly and gave this new boat owner some piece of mind and several tips and tricks which were greatly appreciated. I was very happy with the service and price given the convenience that they come to you. Big Mike was very personable and accommodating when I called the week prior to see if they could help me out and got me quickly scheduled for service. I'm happy to be back out on the water worry free! I will be using them for all my future maintenance and service needs and would highly recommend them!

I told Lance I would pay him to look it over and give me his opinion on whether it was going to be worth the money to get it running and keep it running. After a few days, he told us exactly what it needed, exactly how much it cost and even let us store it on his lot for a couple of months. The trailer blew out a new tire on the way to taking it in and I thought it might be the tires that were on it and asked him to replace them. He looked at it and said one of the springs on the trailer was broke and he replaced all four of them as well as the one tire. I can't say enough about this business. If you have a classic boat, or any boat that needs repairs, this is the place to bring it. I am so glad another Boat Dealership recommended him.
