I recently acquired a Catalina 25, and was moving it from Bellmore to his marina earlier this week…read more (Unbeknownst to me, the boat had some engine issues and was covered in three years of barnacles.) It was slow going and we were very late showing up to Matt's Marina. Not only were they so nice to me when my plans kept changing, but were accommodating when I showed up late and a bit frazzled from having such a tough boat move. The guys there helped 1) securely store my sailboat on their limited open dock space overnight and 2) take it out of the water first thing the next day. They reported back on the condition of the boat and necessary repairs before they got started with anything. They did hours upon HOURS of MASSIVE barnacle removal, which is a thankless and dirty job, all so I can move my boat to it's North Shore location later this week. They even did a walk-through and reviewed the condition of the hull with me after the barnacles were off and it was fully power-washed, pointing out the next steps for repairs and how to best handle it. These are some REALLY good people on the South Shore, and I would recommend them to anyone. Great crew, nice guys, and have a sense of humor if you're like me and have no idea what you're doing. It's all a learning experience. Thank you guys for being so cool and helping a girl out!

Brand new boater here. Just purchased a 26' Crownline Bowrider from Kehls. I originally met Tom…read moreKehl at the Covid Boat Show at Jacob Javits back in 2020? Left that day saying what a genuinely nice guy. Took me a few years and tons of research as to what make and model boat I wanted, settling on Crownline and I finally pulled the trigger, frequently entering the showroom numerous times picking his brain about all things bowrider and as I said, finally pulled the trigger. Coincidentally, unknown to me a friend told me he also uses Kehls for winter storage and couldn't be happier. Anyways, throughout the process I came to know his 2 brothers Mike and Joe as well as Joe's wife Anne whom handled the closing. From 2020 on, I have had only an excellent experience with the ENTIRE Kehl family. They sell family boats as well as fishing boats. You would be making a huge mistake if you didn't at least pay them at least one visit; I'm pretty certain you'll be happy you did!

My buddy picked up a used 15 foot Fletcher boat off Facebook marketplace earlier this summer and he…read morefinally took me out the other day to explore the inlets around Jones Beach. We had a great time for about an hour or so but about half way back the engine started sputtering and then died. We tried a few things but admittingly while we can both turn a wrench, neither of us are all that handy when it come to boats. While he was trying to access the carb (it's a pretty old but cool boat), I was already on Yelp looking for help. The fellas at Kehl's were as cool as a cucumber and as nice as my uncles. We tried a few more things but to no avail. We simply cracked a couple colds ones and waited a short while for them to arrive and tow us back to their marina. While I didn't ask him how much they charged for their work, I do know they were able to get her fired up the next day and he was pretty pleased with it all. I don't own my own boat yet (aside from canoes/kayaks), but when I do, I'm surely glad I now know of a friendly, reliable and honest boat mechanic/ marina nearby!

I tried to clarify that I'm just asking if I can schedule an inspection and he hung up on me! What the hell?!?

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
