I guarantee that I'll be calling Salty Boys before I call anyone again. I can't tell you how flaky some companies are (electrical engineers and mechanics who don't call back, don't show up). Rick made two trips to my boat, one for assessment and the other for completing the work --which he did, and then even organized my shore power cord so that don't have to worry about pulling it out by accident in the future. I feel totally cool giving Salty Boys 5 starts.

Rick went through it more thoroughly and critically than any of them. The boat is running faster and cooler at lower RPMs than it has in years. He is the first marine mechanic that exceeded my expectations. He also takes care of his customers. Like all marine mechanics, scheduling can be a challenge, so contact him early. I worked with Salty Boys in Olympia, but they serve a wide area.

Having recently purchased a used sailboat that hadn't had the bottom painted in a few years, I…read moredecided to take it to Yachtfish for bottom paint. They got me into their yard a week early and finished the bottom job in half the time they said it might take. Although expensive (what isn't) I was ok with the initial quote they gave me. Then they discovered some blisters that needed attention as well as some extra bottom sanding. This added an additional $1000 to the job. However, Darrin worked with me to get the best bang for the buck. The crew was super friendly, as was the office staff. I might not have given them five stars due to cost, however, their customer service made up for it.

What a great experience. 10 years ago I wouldn't have said that, but I'd recently heard some very…read morepositive things about the new management (4 years ago they started) and new staff so I thought I'd give them another try. So glad I did. They were committed to doing a good job from the get go - thorough, very communicative, reasonably priced (it's expensive no matter where you go, so it's wonderful when you actually get what you pay for), and Darren kept me posted every step of they way regarding my service requests so there were no surprises in timing or cost. I am pleased to say the entire crew that I met was nothing short of terrific, and they all worked as a team on my behalf.

I've had good experiences with these guys…read more They fixed the carb on my old Honda B100 and they had parts for that old motor that I couldn't even find online. They did annual service on my Honda 75 4-stoike and it runs pretty sweet now. I've had it serviced elsewhere for years and it never ran this well. Service is pretty quick as far as I can tell. Mony is a nice guy and will try to help with advice. I've had the mechanics do the same, unprompted. If you're moored at South Park they'll come to your slip to check out your issue. Pretty good deal. And to that reviewer on here who gave them one star because he forgot to put his own drain plug back in before going out on the water? Dude that's your fault... Don't blame the business for that.

Overpriced $200/hour, slow, and careless…read more 8/20 update Boat engine would not start. Likely due to water damage caused by repair shop carelessness. 8/15 update Boat top speed was going lower, and alarm was starting to go off when going above 20. Took it in to Rick's. They said it was overheating but couldn't figure out the problem and kept changing things, water pump, electric fuse, wiring, and even the temperature gage which turned out to be fine. The alarm stopped, but the new temp gage which doesn't mast he my other gages, shows even higher temp close to 200. They forgot to put the plug back in and sent me on the water and the boat started sinking. I am lucky the engine didn't get damaged. I paid $7000 for this boat. It took them 4 weeks and cost me $2500 to have them fix the alarm. They kept saying they'd call me when things are done but never did. I had to call everyday to check on progress and they kept pushing it, blaming the tide, the parts, and so on. Still not sure what caused the alarm and what stopped it. They almost cost me the whole engine, and since they have you sign disclaimers they would take zero responsibility. Go somewhere else. Most places charge almost half the price for labor, are faster, and are probably less careless.

Calm and relaxed -- he made sure he new what we wanted, telling us the first time we came to see him that the boat we were interested in was not for us. "I'll call you when I get something here that you want," he told us. A month later we drove home with exactly what our family hoped for. When the boat for us showed up Darren answered any questions we had. He speaks with few words and doesn't embellish or pretend to know everything about everything. What I'm saying is that you can tell he's telling the truth. On our test drive we had a small problem that Darren quickly diagnosed with a ballast tank. When we arrived back at the shop he sent us out for lunch while he fixed the problem. With the problem fixed Darren sent us home saying, "You're going to love this boat. Call me if you need anything."

Darren and I shared a few emails and texts, and settled on a price without a bunch of back/forth or games. Before buying from NW Inboards, I shopped at two other dealers who were no where near as straight-forward.

Zac quickly helped me get squared away with the new boat and Paul answered my random mechanical questions. The guys were a great team, professional and super passionate about boating. I learned a bunch from them and I'm 110% happy with the purchase experience. Best of all, my family is thrilled with our new boat from NW Inboards!
