I told my wife I would never leave any business a review unless I was absolutely blown away. Long story short, today I created a Yelp account so I could leave Zane & Charlie a review for their great work. We were in a bad spot and no one wanted to help us because we have an "older boat." We were turned away by several shops in the San Antonio area. (People don't like money here)
We're the original owners of our 96 Mako 262 and we're on our second pair of Merc 225 outboards. We recently moved in from Rockport to be closer to our grandkids and I had a long conversation with Zane on the phone about general maintenance and some ideas on some upgrades. After a plethora of ideas he convinced me into some things, I'm not big on technology so when I can figure out how to upload photos I hope to remember to do so. My boat looks brand new and I've had half a dozen offers to sell it this weekend on our fishing trip here in Rockport!
Zane met me on the street with a smile and a handshake, I didn't know where he wanted me to park the boat it's a smaller building but very nice, professional & welcoming building. I pulled up a seat and we chatted for quite some time, I felt right at home. I'm an older retired "successful" man from West Texas and I felt Zane to be an old soul so we hit it off well. He walked me around the boat shop and I learned they work on ATV's & golf carts which I'll be bringing both of mine in for service. I'll tell ya, they made me a customer for life!
Anyhow, I made a very nice investment in my boat. Zane & Charlie were able to refinish the deck of my boat with Raptor Liner (something new for me), then replaced all of my rusted stainless accents, cleats, handles, cooler tie-downs, and even all of my visible hinges with new & had them powder coated to match my brand new T-Top. We also upgraded the floor to a two-tone foam floor completely custom. I catch a lot of flounder & black drum and my wife loves the look of the sheepshead fish. She always smiles at them when she catches them like they're going to smile back. Anyhow, can you believe Zane had these fish etched into the foam for us & they look great! He actually made the sheepshead smile for my wife! An audio upgrade with overhead soundbar, lighting, and dock lighting (which we've never had) and even overhauled our trailer and made it nearly new again including matching Raptor Liner.
We'll be back Zane & Charlie, just wait my new friends! We will have plenty of referrals for you too. Take care. read more
