What customers say
★★★★★
“An absolute legend in the game. Searched and searched for a mechanic to look into my 2 stroke 2003 Yamaha 150 v6 that was stalling in idle and low gear. He had the problem diagnosed quoted and repaired very timely and for a great price. Great communication the entire time with text updates pictures videos etc. He has experience and insight to resolve problems in the most effective and efficient manner. And came up with a great solution to a unique problem with my motor. Also I must mention he is also super friendly guy and will teach you things while you're there. Very valuable for people new to outboards like myself. Got us ready for the water and back out there! Cheers to you Charles I owe you a few cold ones. 5 stars is the truth.”

“Charlie is hands down one of the best boat mechanics I've ever worked with. He worked on my year 2000 225hp Johnson and absolutely brought it back to life. He knew exactly what he was doing — got brand new controls installed, swapped out the spark plugs, and had that old 2-stroke starting up on the first turn. Super knowledgeable, professional, and just genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. If you've got an outboard that needs work, Charlie is your guy!”

“Charlie is the best! Brought our boat to him for some repairs and not only was the price very reasonable, he got us in and out the same day! Went home, ran the boat and had some more unforseen issues. The first time we had trouble Charlie took the time out of his day to help trouble shoot our issues...we ran it again and the same issue occurred, again Charlie responded with patience and expertise!! We had to take our boat back to him, no fault of his, and again did an amazing job of fixing the issue at a very fair price!! I am an 1 1/2 hour drive from him, but I will not take my boat to anyone else unless u have an issue out of state!!!!!”

“Amazing guy! I will not be taking my boat to any other mechanic. I thought I had to get my lower unit resealed but in reality I didn't, it was just leaking unburnt 2 stroke oil as old 2 stroke outboards do. He took the time out of his busy work schedule to assist me and show me exactly why it wasn't by doing a pressure test on the lower unit instead of just saying 'yeah that's not good you definitely need to do that' to collect a check. I really appreciate his honesty!!!”
