Found out the transom on my boat needed to be replaced. Sealand Marine sent me to Steve and the work he did is incredible. I have a pretty big big aluminum deep V that’s 22’ long and he did an amazing job. Throughout the entire job he stayed in contact with telling me how things were going and also send me dozens of pictures throughout the process. If you need any kind of body work done Steve is the guy to go to

Steve is a great guy who does great work. He went the extra mile to get my boat looking right again, was super easy to work with, and is a true expert. Can’t say enough good things about this shop.

Steve is a craftsman. He takes the time and care to do absolutely beautiful work. Our boat was involved in an accident and had what I thought was end of life damage. Steve assured me he would get it looking right again. I was blown away by the work he did. My boat looks like it did when I first purchased it. Great guy and an amazing craftsman.

Our boat was involved in an accident and needed lots of work. Steve's repair left us speechless. The boat looks like brand new. He is not a craftsman, he's an artist. Hopefully, we don't need his help again, however, if we do we are going back to him. Excellent work! Thank You Steve.

AWESOME on every level, from customer service to price, to quality! Steve is a perfectionist and went above and beyond without me asking! He treated my boat as if it were his own and it looks better than it did when new after he was done with it! I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for fiberglass boat repair.

Steve was great to work with! Our boat looked very dull and had a ton of calcium built up on it. Steve was able to get us in very quickly and our 14 year old boat came out looking brand new!! He treats every boat as if its his own. I like that Steve is a perfectionist and his works reflects it. Thank you Steve!
