I was buying a private sale boat w/ and Evenrude outboard motor. I wanted it checked by a cert. Evenrude mechanic so I went to BWB. I told him (Doug) to go through the motor and tell me what it needed. I was told everything was good after they checked it. I was finally able to go out with it with my wife and got stuck in the inter coastal. The boat would not go up on plane. No high speed throttle. I took the boat back and told them the symptoms including that it was smoking excessively. I was told it was because the motor was a 2 stroke. Now I know 2 stroke motors and this was not normal. Again it was checked by BWB and I was told it was OK. I asked them if it was tested at high speed and was told NO. Now I told them it was at high speed throttle that it would bog down and stop. I was told again it was OK. I took my wife and grand-daughter out on the inter coastal and got stuck again. NO high speed throttle. I was told to bring it back and again I gave them the symptoms. Finally after the third time their I'm told it was my VRO pump. WELL it was the VRO pump all along. Mind you I'm charged all the time. The third time I told Doug there was no way I was paying. But he had the nerve to charge me for shop supplies. Now that took nerve plus he did not come out and even speak to me when I picked the boat up. The lady that worked there was snippy and rude. So BEWARE before you bring you boat to Blue Water Boats in Holly Hill, Florida.

We interviewed several other companies, but in the end decided to go with Jerry because he wasn't trying to put a bandaid on the bullet hole. We aren't disappointed in our choice. He gave us a written estimate, repaired the issue and had our boat back in the water ahead of schedule. His pricing was more than fair, we received the boat back in beautiful condition, he even sent it out for cleaning, and he found and repaired several other small issues we didn't even know existed.
