How the hell am I the 1st review for this place????
This place has been around for years, and I am happy to say that I am a new, and will be a long time customer of theirs.
This place not only got me scheduled in fairly quick, but they did a VERY THOROUGH job of my outdrive service.
I went in for a simple shift cable, but I also asked him to look at a few issues with my outdrive.
Not only did Grant (owner) and his team send me pictures daily, and call me to explain what he saw, but he also didn't replace things that "didn't" need to be replaced immediately.
I felt very comfortable that he was being honest with me, and straight forward about the work that needed to be done to keep me safe on the water, rather than being towed in behind a boat because I was broken down.
Along with the pictures, he also kept all my parts that were bad, and showed them to me to get a good look at what he was dealing with, and what I was boating with.
Ill be honest, this isnt the place you want to come to if you want cheap and quick, but if you want it done right and with genuine parts, then this is your place.
its one thing to find a "cheap" mechanic to work on your boat and save some money, and its another thing to find a respectable and highly educated mechanic to work on your boat that you'll use in the middle of the ocean. (Peace of mind for sure)
Unless you're a bad ass swimmer and can swim 25 miles back to shore with a rope towing your boat behind you, I wouldn't let anyone else but Sea & Ski Marine work on your motor.
These guys are pros at Volvo Penta's, but I'm sure they can work on just about any other motor.
This was the first time I have used Sea & Ski, and I am glad that I chose them.
Owning a boat in Newport Beach, you have TONS of options for people that can "work on your boat" but there are only a select few that are specialist, and these guys are definitely one of them.
Do it right the first time. It may hurt the wallet a little, but as the old saying goes "You get what you pay for" and this place is it.
Thanks again guys! Looking forward to taking her out this weekend. read more
