His skill level and knowledge are extremely impressive--especially when it comes to outboards. He helped us repair our 2-stroke 50hp Mercury, and the attention to detail really showed in his work. On top of that, he's friendly, easy to work with, and his pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service provided. If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and takes pride in their work, Dennis is the guy. Highly recommend!

Ron at Manasota Marine not only did exactly what he said, but went the extra mile for me as well. Ron did a 100 hour engine tune-up, replaced the prop shaft and provided a loaner prop while my prop was being refurbished. He provided the loaner so I could use the boat to entertain visiting guests. Once the prop was refurbished, he came to my location and installed. He did all his work with a pleasant, service-oriented attitude and in a timely manner. I wish he did landscaping, painting, HVAC, appliance repair, etc, etc. !!

The owner, Richard…read moreAllen, had our pontoon boat from November 2024 to June 2025--a total of seven months--to repair hurricane damage and reupholster the seats. He initially promised completion by Christmas, then New Year's, then mid-February, and finally Easter. Each deadline came and went, with a revolving door of excuses: employees quit, contractors were unavailable, he was hospitalized, or on vacation. We paid him $12,000 in good faith. After seven months, not only was the boat still not repaired, but it was in worse condition than when we dropped it off. It sat exposed to the elements the entire time--uncovered. The upholstery had been removed, and the foam cushions had rotted. Both batteries were missing, wires had been cut, and stale fuel was left in the tank. Richard Allen has acknowledged he owes us the money but now says he "just doesn't have it." We are left with a severely damaged pontoon boat that now needs a full refurbishment, and he has kept the money. Do not be fooled by how friendly he seems. The experience was devastating. Avoid this business at all costs. We have reported him to the BBB and the Florida State Attorney's Office.
