    Worst marine repair shop ever. Take ur boat somewhere else. 3 months in the shop and still didnt…read morefix the problem.

    This place is a real piece of work. They had my boat for over 8 months, charged me for parts and…read morelabor never preformed, and never fixed it. For several months I remained patient and listened to their constant excuses. I heard everything from waiting on a parts to, the mechanic is hunting, the mechanic is racing boats, to this boat is not repairable. It seemed the folks there were more into their hobbies rather than turning a profit. After 8 months I finally got the call it was fixed. I was so excited to pick it up, I did not inspect the work. After getting the boat home, I start looking over the receipt to see what took 8 months to fix. I see I was charged for new fuel line and installation... the fuel line had mildew on it and was not new. I was charged for a new fuel water separator, the old one with grease marks and paint chipping was still on my boat. I immediately called and left a voice mail in outrage after hours. I get a call back from Chris and we get into a cussing fight on the phone. He tells me to meet him in the morning at the shop. When I get there he still refused to admit that he did not do any type of service on this boat. I asked about the fuel water separator and the fuel line and he gave me some BS about he knows the fuel line is new because its grey? He didn't even know what to say about the fuel water separator and blamed it on "mechanics that work for him". It sounded like a load of dog crap to me. He was only able to get the motor to run off an external tank in his bay at the shop. We agreed that I wanted him to make the motor run off the fuel tank in the hull. He never could. I was charged for parts and labor totaling roughly $1100 and still did not have a boat that could run on the water. The boat was an '08 with around 100 hrs. I got him to agree to a partial refund totaling no more than $300. Total cheapskate. I shouldn't of let this place get away that easy. I guess he was worries about the extra $800 going towards his boat racing rather than keeping a customer. I hope this comment affects them much more than the $800 I felt was robbed from me. This place is a scam. You have been warned.

They had vendors, arts and crafts, music and, sandcastle lessons, and a drum circle I participated in poetry writing and painting a Roseate Spoonbill bird in water color. I stepped out of my comfort level and skill set today!! Local published poets, Naomi Shahib Nye and Jim Boone ran the group for poetry writing; Naomi read one of my poems to the crowd; they applauded and she told me to take a bow!! WOW! I was shocked I have a video of Naomi reading my poem to the crowd but video is too big to post on this forum ... also have a video of my friend playing in the drum circle Fun day!

    We were treated rudely there today. We were driving by on a beautiful birding day and a very nice…read moreperson from Artist Boat opened her car window and said it would be alright to go in the gate and get good pictures of a pair of Sandhill Cranes. We went in and got some amazing pictures. Then a rude person who called himself the Executive Assistant of the Director came out and basically accused us of trespassing. He treated us as if we were interlopers and made it clear that no one can come in unless they are part of an institution and we were not welcome there. We would never have come in if we weren't invited. We're an older couple and didn't deserve to be treated so rudely. We've passed the building a lot of times and now will think of this rude individual and look away in the future.
