This is my second review of the John Thomas Boat Company. In late March our 80 y/o yacht went into…read morethe yard for maybe just a "shave and a haircut"- that's a bottom cleaning and paint to you landlubbers. However I asked John Thomas to take a sounding of the hull. He found a plank that was "going proud" (coming away from the ribs) and several seams that needed renewing. He called in his crew and the job was accomplished quickly, done well, and at a fair price. The boat has been in the water for four days and now her bilge is as dry as new. I couldn't be more pleased and our FREYA is good for more adventures to the North.

If you want quality wood work for the interior or knowledgeable shipwrights for your yacht, this is the place. Old school-no WiFi or iPhone gazing here; but so very knowledgeable, open and friendly. Just walk in and smell the Alaska cedar shavings from the planer mill. They have done interior, hull and exterior work on my classic yacht for 20 years. Always on time, on estimate (or below), and to the highest degree of fit and finish has been the norm. You won't go wrong to give them a call or visit.

Tom notified me, as requested, when a particular model I was seeking came available. Tom facilitated a viewing and helped with the purchase negotiations. When,after a survey the boat was found to need a few upgrades -Tom stepped in and got the work done immediately. And at no cost to me. Took delivery today and Tom helped get the boat clean and sorted out how my truck would best trailer the boat. As a final gesture, he gave me two co2 fired floatation vests that I admired. Could not be happier with my experience. This review is the least I can do to say thank you.

We paid Bill ~$450 for around 4 hours of observation and inspection. About 4 days after his inspection, we discussed his findings over the phone. He initially gave us his findings from a different boat staying that our electrically driven fuel pump was on the verge of failing. I was puzzled by his findings because our engine had a fuel pump powered mechanically. Bill said that the engine was in good condition otherwise. About 15 minutes later, Bill called me back to say that he had mistakenly read us his notes from a different boat and had given us faulty information. He then said that our engine was "in good working condition with nothing notable requiring servicing or replacement". Now a few months later, we had a reputable diesel mechanic in Seattle look at the engine to conduct a service and maintenance. This inspection found Bill's evaluation of our engine completely off the mark. In less time than it took for Bill to conduct his survey, the Seattle mechanic found notable and obvious problems with the fuel filter system (leaking diesel!), heat exchanger, exhaust manifold, raw sea water pump, and PSS shaft seal. This evaluation was made with the same observation techniques Bill had available to him when he made his survey. From this, I followed up with Bill to share this experience, express our dissatisfaction with Bill's service, and ask for a return of funds paid. My hope was to find a mutually agreeable resolution to our concerns. Bill could not have been more unprofessional in his response. He questioned the integrity of the mechanic who found the problems he could not identify and threatened to sue me for libel if we shared our experience to other potential buyers. Sorry Simmons Marine, incompetent service gets a bad review. Buyer, take your business elsewhere if you need help with your marine engine. Simmons Marine Service does not know what they are doing and are completely unprofessional.
