Hull and joinery work in the shop that built over a hundred boats.

  • Hull repairs
  • Topside repairs and custom fabrication
  • New teak decks and resurfacing
  • Damage repairs
  • Cabinetry
  • New equipment installations

From a pump that quit to a full repower.

  • Engine re-power and overhauls
  • Fuel and exhaust systems
  • HVAC systems
  • Pumps and fans
  • Bow thruster installation
  • Refrigeration and freezers

Electrical

Systems that have to work when it is getting dark and you are still out.

  • Electrical repairs and troubleshooting
  • Batteries and chargers
  • Generator repairs and installation
  • Lighting upgrades
