I brought my 2024 Stabicraft 1550 Frontier equipped with a 2024 Honda 75 outboard to Oceanside…read moreMarine Center after experiencing engine performance issues while I was in California undergoing pancreatic cancer treatment. I explained the symptoms and my concerns regarding the fuel system. The staff were initially very compassionate and understanding of my situation, which I appreciated. After several days, I was notified that the boat was ready. The work included a tune-up and fuel filter replacement, and the total bill was nearly $900, with the majority of the cost attributed to labor. Unfortunately, after returning to Minnesota and launching the boat, the engine exhibited the same problems it had before the service visit. The issue had not been resolved, and I ultimately suffered another breakdown on the water and had to paddle back to shore. My disappointment is not the cost alone but the fact that a nearly new 2024 Honda 75 outboard left the shop with the original problem apparently unchanged. Based on my experience, I expected a more thorough diagnosis and a repair that addressed the actual cause of the malfunction. I can only share my personal experience, but I left feeling that I paid a significant amount of money without receiving a solution to the problem I brought the boat in for.

I see some negative reviews, but can only comment on my experience. I had a hard time finding some…read morehatches and Ted found and sourced for me in a day. I was asking a bunch rookie questions, and he was very helpful and kind. Prices were cheaper than West Marine. He gave me a small tour of the yard. For a new boater, I was treated very well. The yard and shop were full, so they must be doing something right. Seems like they know what they're doing.

I used to be a livaboard in Oceanside Harbor, and I noticed that Steve is the only diver that…read moreactually tries to steal hull cleaning clients from other divers in the harbor. Not only are his stories untrue, he dives the boats of tagged clients on the docks, and tries to con the owners into thinking that their bottom isn't being cleaned. Even with brand new paint, I was told that my diver wasn't doing his job, and that he was just 'waterlining' it. I called him to tell him the issue, and he promptly came down, took a video of the bottom of my boat, and showed me the video. Perfectly clean, as usual. There's been a lot of talk about this guy badmouthing other companies, and I don't support this type of business. Steve has a bad reputation in the harbor for overscrubbing brand new paint, and has a bit of an attitude when you approach him about his opinion of other companies in the area. Recommended? Absolutely not! There are plenty of other companies with honest, ethical means of acquiring business. Go with them.
