I was lucky to have found Ken and Classic Boat Works. I like that he is a family man and this is a…read morefamily-owned operation. I communicated with Ken back and forth a couple of times via text before I finally brought my 1987 Sea Swirl in and met him. After speaking with him and meeting him, I could tell Ken is an honest guy who doesn't try to upsell you or make you pay for repairs you don't need. Much like with automobiles, I'm not mechanically inclined so I have to rely on mechanics who know what they are doing and trust they won't rip me off. I got the sense from dealing with Ken I wouldn't have to worry about that. He helped me get my boat up and running after it had sat unused for about 18 years. Luckily, he said the motor and most of the boat were in good shape and all it needed was some new fittings and parts and it was up and running. He also fixed the floor in the boat because rot had damaged a section. I was able to take the boat out with my family and let our daughter experience boating on the water. I plan to continue to have my boat serviced/winterized with Ken.

Their communication is broken with no information being utilized in either direction. Their pricing is predatory with additional charges, exorbitant charges added later. Mechanical work was incomplete and sloppy requiring rework. Pass through charges and transportation to work shop typical predatory, high double tap on outside work and max two way travel charges. Tech broke integral fuel line @ disassembly and wrote up complete fabrication, (lie). There is no reason to pay top dollar and be training their menial labor to train/play mechanic. Avoid this yard

So I called Chad earlier this week to do a seawater impeller service on my Mercruiser alpha one gen…read moreone. He told me that appointments weren't available till late June. He had done it last May but it had already failed as boat wasn't cycling water and was overheating. So instead I asked if he had the parts so I could do it myself. He confirmed that he did. So I drove to his shop and it took over an hour to get anyone to acknowledge me. Finally he looked up my order from last year to give me the correct parts but he didn't write down part numbers, so we had to guess based on my knowledge, $59 for gaskets and impeller. And wait need case oil to recharge, after another $45. ( He would have let me leave without it.) So glad I had to do the work my self. Last year he told me that he had to charge me an extra $200 to cut of my impeller cause it was ceased to shaft. Well upon my own discovery I was going to have to do the same thing. The ding dong that worked on it last year did not do a good job cleaning off excess material from shaft and forced it on. So here I am cutting off my impeller. Then using a sharp file cleaning up shaft. The pump housing was old and destroyed from the impeller melting down. Uh oh, the kit Chad sold did not include a pump housing. Well I'm not driving back to his shop again when I can do a little research and buy it from someone else. Called West marine and with a little coaching we were able to locate just the part I needed and a whole rebuild kit that had everything. $45 for just the housing or $65 for the whole kit. I bought the kit. So after a couple of part run trips and some patience I R and R'd my sterndrive and was back up and running. Chad your shop is a pig sty. Your stuck in the 60's as far as how you run a business and your work is minimal at best. Thank you for being to busy, so that I could see how easy it is to do this common maintenance for a boat. So my conclusion is that after $600.00 bucks spent last year they did not supply professional service. They re-used the old parts that are included in the kit.
