If you are looking for a mobile marine mechanic, look no further than James at Reel Southern…read moreMarine. I've worked with a lot of different boat mechanics over the years, and I know how jammed up and backlogged they can get, but James is simply on another level. I literally call him the "Dr. House of boats" because of his diagnostic skills and ability to fix everything. He essentially rebuilt the foot pedal on my Ranger Z521L from the ground up. He found all the underlying issues, ordered the exact right parts, and explained everything to me step-by-step as he worked. He is extremely efficient and super thorough in everything he touches. Recently, I wanted to get the boat in absolute top shape to sell it. James came out, went through the entire boat, and did complete maintenance on the OptiMax 250. Because the boat had sat in a garage for almost a year and a half before hitting the water again, there were inevitably a few hidden gremlins that popped up right around the sale. This is where James's customer service truly shines. Not only was he incredibly understanding, but he immediately helped troubleshoot one issue via a phone walk-through. Even after the buyer took the boat and found a couple more things, James adjusted his busy schedule to make sure the boat was taken care of for the new owner. He knew how important it was to me that the buyer walked away with a perfect rig, and he made it happen. His prices are absolutely fair, and his genuine care to ensure everyone is treated well is unmatched. I cannot praise or recommend James and Reel Southern Marine highly enough!

Yelp, i want my money back & him to be banned/criminally charged *****notice how i said PRORATED- nice try tho. Still fucked my car up, it only blew MAJORITY of the way cold for an HOUR if that???? You can't lie on me homie, truth speaks for itself. Facts are facts. Good luck recanting, disputing, or denying screenshots & tangible proof don't get bold bc you're what i exposed you to be, then cry when it comes time for the consequences of your actions to be faced.

It takes a lot for me to take the time to type a review. However, I was so impressed with the work…read morethat Tristin, with Panesons Upholstery, did on my 21' Malibu Ski/Wake boat, that I felt compelled to share my experience. First of all, this was a very big job as there were 20+ cushions, seats, side-panels and engine cover that had to be removed from the boat and reupholstered. As such, it was a complex job versus a bass/bay fishing boat. The quality of the work was exceptional, the total price was much less than other shops and the amount of time to complete the job was, I would argue, "best in class". Additionally, Tristin cares passionately about the customer experience and was a pleasure to work with during the project. He kept me updated throughout the job and even gave me some smart suggestions throughout that made the boat look even better than what I originally asked for. Getting your boat reupholstered is a timely and expensive service so if you want to feel good about the quality of material and work, timeliness in communication and completion, and a value for your hard-earned money, I highly recommend Panesons! I have three boats and will definitely use Panesons for my boat upholstery needs in the future.
