I was doing trrolling motor repairs back in the 80's and early 90's. Lee and Julia were my go to…read morepeople when I got stuck on a repair. They went out of their way to help me and if I needed parts they were on their way ASAP. They always had time to help. Julia was a GREAT business woman and knew long term relationships made her more money in the long run then if she just rushed helping you. L:ee was a wizzord on repairs, no motor ever stumpted him. Their prices were always reasonable, I was proud to call them FRIENDS. I think Lee and Julia are retired and their kids have taken over, however the same care and helpful service is still of the utmost importance. I can NOT give a higher recomendation to them.

I got ahold of the owner Donald on 2-24-26 as i was frustrated about them trying to change the pricing, he decided to honor original pricing and throw in 3 services free of charge. They tried to remove some of the additional accessories and requests that were agreed upon. Craig, the salesman, agreed to let me view the boat at their Wildwood location when it came in from the manufacturer before additional accessories were to be installed. The boat arrived in Wildwood and then was transported down to Lakeland before being able to view the boat at agree time and location, Donald informed me this was his decision. I discussed with Donald how this had already been agreed upon with Craig, Donald stated 'it's your decision to come see the boat where it is, or sign the documents and we can start your boat.' The loan documents are signed. The boat is still in Lakeland. The boat has yet to be started. We are now being told that the boat still will not be done on 5-15-26, 13 weeks after said 3-5 week turn-around. They will not give me a date of completion or date of delivery.
