great mechanic
If your boat is acting up take it to Ernie. He spent time showing me the worn parts he replaced so I knew exactly what I paid for. Honest work is hard to find these days.

reliable and fair
I have taken my boat to Ernie a couple times now. Every time he gets it right the first time. No headaches and he explains what was wrong in plain english. Thanks.

will definitely return
Found a great local mechanic. Ernie knows these motors better than anyone. Price was very fair compared to the big marinas. So glad to have him in East Palatka.

fixed my leak
Had a persistent leak in my hull and two other guys couldn't find it. Ernie found it in an hour and patched it up. It has been bone dry ever since. Awesome service.

best boat shop around
Ernie is the real deal. He fixed my outboard motor in just a few days after another shop told me it would take a month. Price was spot on too. Really glad I found him.

went above and beyond
I broke down on the river and Ernie talked me through some things over the phone to get me home. Took it to his shop the next day and he fixed the fuel issue quickly.

solid repair work
Dropped off my boat before the weekend and Ernie had it finished by Friday afternoon. Everything is running smooth and I can finally get back on the water. Appreciate it.

good work but busy
Ernie does great work but sometimes he is hard to reach. He is busy for a reason though. Once he gets working on your boat he is fast and the work holds up well.
