I did my homework before purchasing a 22 foot 1987 Bayliner with the expectation of getting a couple of seasons out of it, mostly just to see if I would like and use something that size before spending real money. I knew the boat ran but I set a realistic maintenance budget of $3500 to deal with anything and everything that would need to be fixed or replaced. Gerry's Marine did a fantastic job and had me out the door for under $2300. The work was competent and done in a timely manner. Frankly, they caught a lot of problems that I would have missed entirely. I couldn't be happier with it. The boat is running so well that I'm rethinking the whole, "two seasons," thing. Very impressed!
The work was solid. Their communication with me was fantastic. Gerry was generous with information on the boat, positives and negatives, and things to consider. He answered a number of questions for me, many of which didn't necessarily relate to the work being done. When I later had an operator error issue, I called and he was kind enough to help me out of a tight spot.
I can't say enough good about the shop and the way I was treated. The feeling I had from the staff there was that they would rather do the job right and have long term customers than do the the standard Vegas treatment of sticking it to the customer. I'll be using them from here on out.
