I didn't have any issues until we upgraded to a new bigger boat and took it in for servicing. This is where we started having issues with the servicing and lack of customer service. I understand that have limited space and can only take in a certain number of boats, which is why they have a waiting list. The problem is have is that they don't call you when there is an opening, you have to constantly call them. They also take in commercial boats over people that are waiting to take in their boats as well as putting your boat on hold if it is in the shop already. I guess regular recreational fishermens money is not as good as the commercial fishermen. This has happened on several occasions. More recent example i took my boat in for servicing and winterizing a month ago. I didn't get any call informing me of the status. This is for an entire month. So I called them on Monday and I'm told that they haven't even gotten to it yet because they were short handed, people were out either on vacation or sick, but they were able to work on the commercial boats. Wtf!? So now that my batteries are probably drained completely because it hasn't been on the trickle charger i might have to get new batteries again. Thanks Tom's. Now to talk about my servicing nightmare. A couple of seasons ago I took in my new boat to get serviced. Apparently I found out that they didn't tighten or put on the oil cap on my main motor. Last season when I went shrimping my friend asked me if that oil slick on the water was normal for my boat. I was like, umm no, but I had just gotten my boat serviced and this is the first time out since then. So, it is definitely not a normal thing on a new Honda 150 4 stroke outboard. We opened the cowling on the water because that oil slick was pretty bad. Oil was everywhere in the cowling all over the motor. Just a mess. Luckily we made it back to the launch with no major issues at that time. I called Tom's as soon as we got the boat out of the water. They asked if I could bring it in and they would decrease and clean it up. I thought after they cleaned it, all my problems would be over. We'll, the problems were just starting. It's now another season had just started. I paid good money for them to fix whatever issue they might have caused. I took the boat out again the start of Kind Salmon season. It seemed like everything was working OK. We only ran the main motor a short distance and ran the kicker motor the for the next several hours. However when I ran the main motor to shoot it across from Owen's beach to Dalco it started with the alarm beeping and the voltage spiking again as we just made it across. Very disappointed. I called them up the next day to see when I could bring it in. The guy said he would call me back later in the day. No call. So several hours later I decide to call before they close. No answer, so I left a message. No call back again today. I call again. Left another message. I believe at this point they should just replace my whole main motor. I'm going to write to the better business bureau and also talk to an attorney. This is ridiculous. They should be trying to get my boat in ASAP due to what I believe they caused all these on going issues.

I just wanted the motor easier to raise and lower. When I went to collect my boat a few days later, I was told it now had an electrical raising/lowering mechanism (I didn't need anything that fancy and it was not discussed with me). The point is the bill came to over $1200 on a boat not worth more than $6000. I was not excited with that bill. Yes, the oil and plugs had been changed but really? In addition, they had gotten beneath the deck to screw in bolts and unsettled everything - they couldn't even put back the cushions that were under there. It really wasn't appreciated that I had to clean up after them.

He kept the cost of the repair to what he estimated, let me know about some other things to do or keep ab eye on, and also suggested I take it back out in the water before I start trying different props. That speaks to integrity as he could very easily sold a prop to a newbie like me right then and there!

One of the first things we needed to fix was the toilet (for the in-laws). We bought an electric toilet and needed someone to install it. We were introduced to Nick from Binnacle Marine from a vendor in the marine industry. The one thing that stood out first versus other marine repair companies, is that Nick is immediately likable, and extremely friendly. He took the time to explain to us "newbies" what he was going to do, how he was going to do it, and then he just made it happen. He was so thorough with the install and so professional. He even cleaned up his mess after and it was like he was never there. That was on day one. With the laundry list of upgrades and minor repairs that we had, he was able to help up prioritize need to do vs. want to do, and has been very upfront, communicative, and informative. I have learned more chatting with Nick about our boat in 3 weeks than I learned in the 10 yrs of saving for this boat and reading about yachts, online. We won't use anyone else. Nick now does ALL of our boat repairs. The guy loves boating and it shows. His passion, his main mission is to keep people on the water and keep them safe by giving them peace of mind through the work he does. We will be recommending him to anyone that needs marine services in the Seattle area. If you want to see his work, message me. I'll try to update with photos (I haven't taken any because I didn't know there was a Yelp page until just now).
