They do everything from Bimini tops to complete engine replacement.

I bought a used, older boat with a 200 Johnson outboard engine. I was having problems getting the…read moreengine to run while at Barton Creek Boat launch. I trailered the boat to All About Boats in Youngsville. Even though they were closing the gates, Chuck and his crew backed the boat into the work area and spent almost an hour trouble shooting the problem for me. In the end, Chuck wouldn't take any payment for his efforts. It was then I decided they would be my marine mechanics as long as I owned a boat. I can not express how grateful I or how impressed I was. Thank you!

I am very happy with the work these folks did on my boat. I have spent thousands of dollars having…read moreother mechanics work on my boat installing my two Solix 15 fish finders, Mega live, Mega 360 and target lock over the past two years. My system never worked as designed. The other mechanics would keep my boats for weeks on end which prevented me from fishing. Took my boat to Southern Boatworks and had my boat ready in two days. Everything now works as intended. Unfortunate for me, they had to rewire my power cables and change various connections like the bus bar, fuses, ground wires to motor, etc. Not the cheapest repair but it was done right. In hindsight, this was a problem I caused by not taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. In addition, I had a problem with my trolling motor. Another Minn Kota "authorized service center" in Raleigh would only work on the trolling motor without the boat. I am too old to take all the devices (Megalive, Mega 360, target lock and hydrophone off) to say nothing about NOT being mechanically inclined. I think..... if I had taken my boat to these great people in the first place, I I would have saved a bunch of cash. I have learned my lesson and will take my boat to these professionals from now on. I highly recommend this company to others.

In June I applied for one of the assistant manager positions and was offered the job by Ms…read more Wainright, which I accepted. I received an email to fill out all the employment paperwork and I completed all forms within a few days. I was suppose to start the second week of July. When I called for my schedule, they said Ms. Wainright would call me back. I have not heard back from anyone. Is that how you should treat potential employees? I'm sorry to share drama like this, but people should know how they operate at the Raleigh West Marine Store!

Been trying to call for 40 minutes...phone rings 3 tines then you get a busy signal…read more So I went online to chat with a customer service rep to ask if the store is open (even though the website says they are). His reply was that there were no retail people in that could help and if I wanted to drive to the store and there is a note on the door, to let them know. It's a 45 minutes drive, so I won't do a store check for them. What company doesn't know if there store is open? All time worst response ever.

Well certainly not my problem in long run. I have a head gasket blown and by only testing problem in shop it doesn't show boat being tested under true load. I would not recommend these guys to anyone under any circumstance to work on a boat. If would've fully checked and inspected would have been easy to find true problem. Yes impeller housing may have been bad but had a mechanic on the lake actually do some looking and within 5 minutes he found problem. These guys look for easy way out and charge 139$/hr for service. Found a mechanic on the lake and he's mobile and only 85$/hr. You will not see my service ever again from them or buying anything from them. Highly suggest against them find somewhere else to be your mechanic not bandaid placers

While they had the boat, I had them install a Talon power pole. They did a great job with the installation and the technician even called me a couple of times to give me some advice on where the actual mount should go for the pole. I would definitely recommend this dealer to my friends and family. They have a full service department and they sale the fuel stabilizer for you boat fuel. I think I only paid bout 14 bucks for a 32 oz bottle.

Charged 3 hours of travel for owner and Helper each. $1200 dollars for nothing!!!! Oh did give 10% military discount. I drove to his shop to get our breaker and manual back - he said he would drop off Saturday as a favor. Be aware and ask charges before he comes to your boat!!!!!
