Finding a truly reliable boat mechanic these days feels almost impossible -- but this guy is the real deal. After years of struggling to find someone competent, honest, and detail‑oriented, I finally found a rock‑star mechanic who treats my 31' Tiara Open like it's his own.
He's clean, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. Every job he's touched has been done right -- not patched, not guessed, not halfway -- done correctly. He's worked on everything from gas lines, water pumps, timing the engines, fixing wipers, oil changes, plugs, winterizing, commissioning.....you name it, he's fixed it, and he's fixed it perfectly.
What really sets him apart is his professionalism. He shows up prepared, he explains what he's doing, and he doesn't leave a mess behind. The level of competence is rare, and the peace of mind is priceless.
After years of searching, I can finally say it:
I will never use anyone else.
If you want your boat in the hands of someone who actually knows what they're doing, this is the mechanic you want. I've been using Matt Rysz for about 4 years now.
