Went looking for new outboard; called around for pricing got a hold of Sportcraft. A couple phone…read morecalls, an appt date and yippee- a new outboard installed painlessly. I was traveling to Oregon for this install and spoke to Ryan on the phone twice. He sent an invoice and we set an appt time. I showed up the install bay was waiting for me and 2 days later a new 200hp outboard had been professionally installed and water tested. His lead technician Jason walked me through a very thorough tutorial on the differences and maintenance procedures from my old outboard to the new one before I left the yard. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and no nonsense approach to their customers.

I spoke to Tim and explained what I needed. He said they normally don't do much painting, but had someone who has been with the shop over 30 years that had a lot of experience over the years. He asked for some pics which I sent. He called me back the next morning and said they could do it. I really appreciated Tim's responsiveness and professionalism. I brought it in to them and explained I needed it back within 10 days. They were able to get it back to me in that time and the motor looks great. Tim gave me an update call during the process which I appreciated. The price was more than fair. Tim estimated a range of hours it would take and shared the hourly rate. The price was for time and materials. In the end, the cost was the best case scenario for me. Thank you Tim and Steve (who did the work). Tight lines.

Fuhgetabout the gym... Rock the boat, baby!…read more Most Portlanders, if they know anything about dragon boats, know the big Portland/Kaohsiung Rose Festival races, with the opulent, dragon-headed boats, the flag catching and the sprawling, boisterous crowds. But all that happens between April and June. And then *poof* it's all over and the heavy Taiwanese boats are stashed away beneath the Hi-Hat Restaurant for another year. The real juice of Portland's dragon boating milieu -- where teams train year-round and often go to national and world championships -- is the paddler-run DragonSports USA. A single dragon boat club has maybe 25 or 30 members and can't afford to buy, moor or maintain the 12-meter craft. So DragonSports USA was formed to provide all of Portland with access to sleek Hong Kong-stye dragon boats for recreational and team uses. And since 1997 they've been right downtown at Riverplace, where everybody can get to them. What really makes DragonSports rock is the level of volunteer commitment. With 8 boats and 2 races each year to run, an undertaking like this could cost a bundle. But when it's time to move a boat or organize a competition, it's all hands on deck. Because there isn't a big staff to support (just the ever-heroic Ayla) a lifetime membership in DragonSports costs $40 and then a team rental for a 22 -person boat is $22 per hour. Individuals can paddle at open practices for -- get this -- $25 per quarter. Yes, $40 up front and $100 per year. Take that to your gym and see if they'll match the price. And even if they do, when did you ever see people leaving spin class with the kind of goofy grins you find on those soggy people trodding up the boat ramp at Riverplace?

From the owner: DragonSports USA is a non-profit dragon boat paddling club located in Portland, Oregon.read more

After informing Kevin I'm about 3-5 years out on buying, and I'm simply in the information gathering and planning stage, Kevin still went out of his way to provide all the information I requested, and then some. He was very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and whatever information he didn't have at his fingertips he found in a day or less, including reaching out to SeaSport directly. When most sales people likely wouldn't give me the time of day when they find out I'm not currently buying, Kevin went above and beyond to assist me. I can't recommend Kevin enough to anyone in the market for a new boat. Thank you Kevin!
