Kept me updated, located at a marina with a lift so I was able to boat there instead of having to drag the boat over with a trailer. Pricing was fair, they use authentic parts, warranty their work. They won't sell you on repairs you don't need or can put off. When contacting them, think doctor's office - busy, might take a day to get back to you - as they are often off-site. But good luck finding someone good who will turn your boat around in Miami in 1 or 2 days without costing you an arm and a leg.

I've used them to upgrade my audio equipment, upgrade the wiring/electronics on my two Mercury outboards and countless other repairs. They've been extremely patient with myself and my father, who isn't the easiest to work with. I've brought up repairs and they've flat out told me I didn't need them, even though they would have made more money by doing so (ended up being something else). Years later, my boat is still running strong and I can't help but to credit it to these guys. I even had issues once after a repair (because of my own dumb fault) and Johnny personally came to my house to check out the boat, which ended up being entirely user error. Fact is... boats are expensive and they'll always need repairs. At least with these guys you know you're only paying what you have to. Can't recommend these guys enough.

Outstanding service! My Yamaha engine was stuck down in the water, and despite being extremely…read morebusy, he came out to my boat after 8 PM to help. He quickly diagnosed the problem, got the engine raised, and even assisted me in ordering the necessary parts. He's a one-man operation, so response times can vary, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in honesty, knowledge, and dedication to his customers. It's hard to find someone this trustworthy in the marine repair business. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and honest boat repair service.

I recommend Ricardo to work on anything on one's boat as his knowledge of boats, engines,…read moreelectrical and plumbing systems is vast! I am not aware of anything he can't repair. Ricardo is an unassuming, modest but highly intelligent person who quietly listens to one's issues with the boat, engine or systems and then just goes to work confirming what one intuits he already knows is the problem and how to fix it? I wish I had called him to work on my boat sooner as instead, I called some else (I previously posted a review about that "mechanic"), who not only clearly is not as astute when it comes to outboard engines but boats' systems and unlike Ricardo, charges abusively for his sloppy services. Ricardo shows up on time but if he expects to be detained by some other job, has the courtesy to call the customer to alert him/her he's delayed. Unlike the other guy, he does not dress with a monogram uniform as he allows his work speak for him, not a uniform. I have owned sail and motor boats from 23' to 46' for 50 years (yes, I am 75 years old as the other guy for some reason, saw fit to point out in response to my review) and have taken multiple boating courses, inclusive of outboard engine repair. Over the years I have used the services of multiple boat yards, electricians and mechanics. Ricardo stands out way above any one else who has worked on my boats! I enthusiastically recommend him to boating friends and family without reservation!
