Poor diagnostic skills, paying for repairs( over $3000 ) that never got boat in acceptable running condition, and personal abuse by the owner are the hallmarks of R and S. I hate to dis a fellow business owner on the Island but Russell never failed in his attempts to characterize me as nothing but a pain in the arse even though he was happy to accept my money, charge me time and a half when asked to expedite repairs, and never properly diagnose the problems from day one. God forbid I would show up after the boat was there for weeks without any update, and be mistreated for asking for a progress report. Not the way to conduct business. Thanks for souring me on the whole boating experience.

I brought my boat to Gulf Coast Marine in March of 2024 to get an oil leak fix and the tune…read moreadjusted at the recommendation of my engine builder. After discussions with David he advised he hoped to have the oil leak fixed in 2 weeks and would then start on the tune. He ended up taking until July to get the oil leak fixed. I would never hear from him and it got to I would phone every day to speak with him to be told he would call me back and he never would. About every 6 weeks I would catch him on the phone and he would advise he had to get his big money customers to Desert Storm, Outlaw Shootout, or some other event and then he would get back to my boat. The fact that I like to use my boat as well was lost on him apparently. After July 4th he started on the tune and again I would never hear from him minus the usual having to get people to other boating events. I ended up getting my engine builder to call David to get him moving and that helped. David would work on the tune but could not get it right. I ended up getting advised that the boat was fine except for the tune and to take it to a tuner. When I picked the boat up( in March of 2025) it was disgusting, covered in mildew, my swim steps were damaged where David had not checked my outdrive when he raised it, my passenger seat was torn, and there was a ton of corrosion. David's response to this was "there's salt in the air." I ended up taking the boat to a tuner only to discover that the issue was a fuse, apparently fuses are beyond David and his staff capabilities. In summary if you want to always to be shuffled behind people, never get updates on your project, and your boat neglected, by all means go see David Whelan at Gulf Coast Complete Marine(if you do take your boat here tell him your going to Desert Storm, LOTO or Key West and he may work on your boat). My receipt asked me to leave a review so here it is. In summary this is the worst business I've ever dealt with in any industry.

I asked about places to dive with while travelling to Mexico and honduras and got some excellent recommendations.

"We are very busy" is their excuse, and I understand being busy but I don't understand telling me that the owner will call me back on 3 occasions and then being blown off again, again, and again. I don't have confidence in leaving my boat with people who lie about, or forget to call back people that they have assured would be called.
