Keith is such a pleasure to do business with! He installed Garmin electronics as well as a Power-Pole shallow water anchor. They are both working perfectly after two years. I called him up today with a minor opportunity . He had me to come over and worked on it right away (in the rain). Plan to have him perform yearly maintenance on my outboard mo…

They moved to Hampstead, but still doing the same great work. Keith knows his stuff and does very good work. He is working on my motors, but keeps me informed. Great shop.

Keith has maintained my boats over the last 3 years……it is truly a rewarding experience working with Keith (…and his wife)!!! One of a kind…..

Keith is more knowledgeable than any Yamama certified mechanics I have encountered. Can’t beat practical experience!

Took care of my issue the same day I called. Very nice, smart, an responsive to help out when from out of town. Thanks
