They wanted payment up front (didn't know that lack of business etiquette/professionalism still existed). When I asked about guarantee/warranty, he shot back a rather snide reply, but did end text saying he would warranty work for 6 months...

A few years ago they sold us a boat that was not at all appropriate for the SF Bay waters and they overcharged us. (I later found a price sticker on the boat with a lower price). We were neophytes at the time. Live and learn! One reason that I go back is that they are the only Boston Whaler (a great boat) dealer in town.

I stopped by outboard motor shop and they had a set of 10" drums on the shelf as well as a set of hubs. Talked to Matt in parts and he gave me a screaming deal on everything. Nice shop with a selection of most boat and trailer parts. Needed brake line kit as well, but what they had did not fit my need. No biggy, I well ordered that from amazon 1 day delivery. If looking for a tough to find part or have project don't forget about this shop. They got some of everything and may have that hard to find part or piece.

Unfortunately, this phone is my life and of course, I didn't back it up to my iCloud! I thought it was gone forever and I was not going to try to retrieve it. However, one of my team members made a bunch of phone calls and John Curry readily contacted us back! I got back to him a day later cuz I didn't have a phone. He told me that about a month ago, his diver, Felipe, retrieved his iPhone 12 that was in the salt water for 36 hours and it worked! So my iPhone was also 36 hours in the salt water later, Felipe met me at my boat dock. And within 5 minutes of diving down 9 feet, he found my iPhone! Jumping for joy!! I waited another 24 hours to turn it on. I washed it off, used an air compressor to blow out any water and used an electric blanket to help dry out the inside! My iPhone asked for a plug! Plugged it in and I'm back in business! Thaaaaaaank youuuuuu, Stem to Stern for helping me get my iPhone back and Felipe for telling me how to get it to turn back on! 5 stars for sure!!

I was looking for one particular item that had fallen off my boat from a past storm while moored in my slip. Unfortunately I waited months before calling (I didn't think it would move once it sank to the bottom... boy was I wrong). Although they didn't find what I was looking for they did a very thorough search of the bottom around my boat and then some. Their price was fair, and all aspects of their customer service was better than expected. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if a need arose.

We contacted Nathan and Eva at Marinelube and they "polished" our fuel to remove all of the water and bugs in our tanks. No more worries about a recurrence of the engine damage and the polishing was a fraction of the bill for the engine work. They were extremely flexible in scheduling the work and did everything dockside so we didn't have to move the boat. Nathan also installed fuel level sensors in our two tanks and a gauge so now we know at a glance how much fuel we have. Such a pleasure to work with (especially Eva) and highly recommended!!
