If you want your boat to look like new, you do not need to look any further than Julian. Literally,…read morelike new. My wife & I were completely shocked at what he was able to do with our 2005 40' Regal. Julian is responsive throughout the process, on time, worked with our new logo installer to ensure everything was done in the proper order and worked on Saturday to complete due to a weather delay we had. I've had several people on my dock ask for his contact info and one of them asked if we had the boat hauled out & repainted. They definitely have us as a client for life - Chad & Jen

I paid for diagnostic services on a no-start issue expecting a clear diagnosis and repair…read moredirection. Instead, I was given a list of things that might be wrong and thousands of dollars in recommended repairs with no guarantee any of it would actually fix the problem. They recommended replacing the manifolds, risers, and spark plugs for nearly $4,300 based largely on exterior corrosion. Before approving the work, I removed the manifolds and risers myself and found no significant internal corrosion, scaling, or blockage. The cooling passages were clear and the main issue I found was worn gaskets. Most frustrating of all, they still could not get the engine started. After continuing to troubleshoot the boat myself, I was able to get the engine running and found several issues that were never clearly identified during the paid diagnostic process. I paid for a diagnosis, not a list of expensive guesses. If you're considering this shop, ask for actual test results and confirmation of the root cause before authorizing major repairs. Do your homework before spending thousands of dollars here, I won't be back! I would not trust this shop.

The job was to be finished in 16 days and it took 4 months and the job was still not complete . The dry dock time cost over $12,000 and I was left with over another 10,000 dollars worth of damage to my boat. He quoted 6000 dollars to do the job. The boat still leaks, 1 pontoon he put on floated away, an electrical charging system had been stolen, wiring that he had done was left in water unprotected that could have started a fire on the boat, and the work that has been done to the boat could have been done better by a 7th grader in wood work shop. He is a habitual liar and promises many many things that he will never follow through. Beware of this person he is a scam artist. As far as I am one star is way over rated.
