How it works
Three texts. Done.
Tell him where it is
Your address or storage yard, the boat and engine, and what it's doing. A few photos help more than anything.
He comes to the boat
A two-hour window, and the parts the job is most likely to need already in the truck. You don't have to be there.
Photos, then an invoice
What he found, what he replaced, the old parts if you want them, and a bill you can pay from your phone.
Rates
No surprises.
$150 an hour, one-hour minimum, then quarter hours. Evenings and weekends at no extra charge. Parts at retail, itemized; tax on parts only. Pay by card, Zelle or cash.

Questions.
Do you charge to come look?
A diagnostic is $195 at your home or storage yard and covers an hour of troubleshooting. Book the repair that visit and the $195 goes toward it.
Do you work on boats in the water?
No. We work on boats on their trailers, at your home or in dry storage. That is how the price stays low and the job gets done in one visit.
When do you work?
Evenings and weekends, which is usually when you're at the boat anyway. Weekends are easiest in winter, when the light goes early.
Do I need to be there?
No, as long as he can get to the boat. Most people text the address and leave it unlocked. You get a photo report either way.
My boat has sat for years. Is it worth fixing?
Usually, and that's what the inspection answers. Fuel, batteries and the impeller are the common ones. You get a written number before anything is spent.
How do I pay?
An itemized invoice by text, paid by card or Zelle from your phone, or cash. Parts are paid before they are ordered. Jobs over $1,000 are half down and half when it runs, and bigger jobs can be paid over time.
