Called Billy at BlueWater, he promptly called me back, showed when he said, helped with approvals and installed on schedule (actually a few days earlier than promised). The workmanship and quality is the best I've seen in the marina. Seriously can't say enough about these guys. Super pro. If you need a dock these are the guys to call. Not the cheapest but worth the investment!

I called Ti's Onsite Auto and Marine Mechanic and he immediately was able to set a date and time to arrive at my house. It was literally a few days later. Tracy the owner, was friendly, easy to talk too, very professional, and extremely knowledgeable in regards to my boat, trailer and its systems. He was able to completely rewire my trailer in a very reasonable amount of time. He then had to fabricate portions of my led light mounts so that the light would fit the brackets to be put on the boat. I would definitely recommend Tracy for any work needed on your boat or otherwise!

We were on a time crunch, and Jim made it happen with less than 24 hours notice to get us a trailer to get our boat out of the shop and into our wet slip. He went above and beyond with taking my calls and helping us launch the boat. Not only that, but he is also as nice as can be! I can't thank you enough Jim, you're amazing!

This is a review I am so happy to give!…read more I just bought my first boat - a 14' Livingston - from a friend, with zero experience, and needed a number of repairs to make it seaworthy. I called PDF and spoke to Jim, the owner, who told me that their schedule was absolutely packed, and that they have a huge waitlist; which was very disappointing to hear, since my family was coming in from abroad in a few weeks, and I was very much hoping to being able to take them out on the boat when they were here. That's when the "dedicated small business owner" came out. With a bit of back-end gymnastics (and a small expression of concern that he was biting off more than he could chew) Jim managed to work me into the tiniest gap in his schedule. He evaluated the damage, gave a detailed overview of the work that needed to be done, and even proposed some sort of barter to help cover the costs! (I'm a small business owner myself) From beginning to end, Jim was the consummate professional - patient, fair-mined, helpful - going above and beyond to make this work for me. And the work completed was phenomenal: the boat looked better than when the original owner bought it! I could not have gotten a better first-boat repair experience. Wonderful work, and exactly the type of service I so appreciate in fellow business owners. PDF just earned a loyal customer!

We got a re-power (new motor) through him. While we had multiple quotes from shops all over the island some being way cheaper with rebates we decided to come back and spend the money with Paul as his work is outstanding. He's very honest trustworthy and we will continue to support our local business' in the area. We always bring our boat here for any type of work, diagnosis, repairs, upgrades etc. One of the plus things after the new motor is that he wanted us to take our boat out for a water test with one of his mechanics to make sure the prop pitch was correct and everything was good to go before letting it go. That right there sealed the deal for us and will always come back and reccomend Paul.

Starting with one star and will update when progress is made…read more K&C has a nice clean shop, the employees are very nice and friendly. How ever this is about an ongoing problem I am dealing with since the installation of my Yanmar 4LV 250 Diesel with ZT 370 out drive. On the first sea trial I was told that the engine has noise and vibration at idle, I accepted that and proceeded with the sea trial noticing that the engine has noise and vibration when turning left but the noise and vibration is non existent when going straight or turning right. As I have gotten familiar with the engine and drive I've noticed that the rough idle and noise / vibration are very different things that only occur when turning left in forward or reverse at low rpm. I had 2 separate sea trials. First sea trial with Colleen confirmed there is an alignment issue. I took the boat to their shop on a Friday and was called a few hours later to pick up the boat. No work was performed to check the alignment, they purged the power steering pump which had no affect on the noise and vibration and they adjusted the engine height at the motor mounts. I was told when picking up the boat that there is no way the alignment could be a problem as engine and drive bolt up together. If there is no possibility of an alignment problem why does Yanmar recommend having the alignment checked annually and at every 100 hours? Second sea trial with Paul, confirmed there is noise and vibration only when turning left at and above idle. He called the technical support manager at Boatswains locker and explained to me that the noise and vibration is from gear chatter because the amount of torque engine produces. BS. I spoke to the Tech support manager and confirmed that it is an alignment problem. Gear noise would occur if the boat is out of the water with engine running because there is no load on the propeller and gear train. I have also spoken to another Yanmar dealer that confirmed that it is an alignment problem that needs to be addressed by the company that installed the engine. As of 8/29/2025 nothing has been resolved, they will discuss the problem with Boatswains locker and get back to me. Hopefully sooner than later. Like Johann G, I'm waiting for a call from Tyler to see what their plan of action is. And I have the invoice that is billed for their first sea trial and engine alignment that never happened. Up date coming as soon as I hear something. P.S. Engine is quieter, more fuel efficient and powerful than my old Volvo 230 hp and the drive with counter rotating props has much better response than the 290Dp drive.
