Took my boat to them, with complaints of it not running properly, not getting on plane properly. They replaced half of my fuel line, leaving the line to short and bulb is in the corner and can barely move it to utilize it,and performed a dyno. Original bulb was in 2 feet closer to motor in middle. Got my boat back, got it started and off the trailer, ran for 2 minutes and stalled. Then did not want to restart. Called them back, they said do a few things while on the phone and to bring it back, which I did. They replaced spark plugs and did water test. I had a stainless steel prop when it came to them. They put a smaller aluminum prop on it. Total was 600 dollars. And they kept my stainless steel prop on top of the 600 they charged me.Boat still had issues getting on plane and running properly.They also talked poorly of ABSeas Marine. Any good shop will not talk poorly of another shop. Over the winter I took it to another shop, they replaced other end of fuel plug on motor. Noticed a poor wire on top of motor and fixed it. Also replaced spark plugs, as the wrong plugs were put into it when Slavation replaced them. Boat runs great now. Gets on plane instantly, instead of taking forever to get on plane and engine rpm's to climb. Would definately not recommend them to anybody. Glady take to the shop that fixed my motor for the original reason taken to Salvation Marine who stole my prop and not fixing my issue it was brought to them for.

Not easy to find a service center for Yamaha jet boats. Not only do they work on the boat, but also the trailer. They do a great job at repair and keeping it ready. Fast, affordable, and customer service like it should be - even for someone with 1,000 questions. Great shop!

I was hesitant on taking my boat, as I like to do repairs myself, but I was up against the clock with time and tools,I found Salvation Marine. I was super impressed. The professionalism they have is amazing. They diagnosed my issue, and gave me feedback back. They fixed my problem to get me back on the river. Will use them from now on. Very trustworthy company!

Salvation Marine really transformed my kayak. They installed and wired my motor, fish finder and added a dolly wheel to our trailer. Blake and all the employees will go out of their way to make sure everything you want and need are done. We got my kayak out on the water for it's maiden voyage and the motor wouldn't turn on. We called Blake and he was eager to diagnose our problem and we got it working and had a great day on the lake. Highly recommend these guys!

After a failed attempt at reinstalling the lower unit after I changed the impeller, I threw my hands up in frustration and called the team at Salvation Marine. They made the repair quickly, flawlessly, at a reasonable price, and they didn't make me feel dumb in the process 😁. I highly recommend and will return for any future needs.

I have never been to a place and been and treated so well ever! These guys are absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend them. They have done work on my boat and their work is flawless. If it’s not, you can bring it back and they’ll fix it and take care of you. And if he’s busy, trust me, he is worth the wait. So I say if you need to trust somebody with your property at all your boat needs this is definitely the place to go. Thanks so much, Blake.

Just had my 2023 Sea Doo Switched serviced and winterized at Salvation Marine. Very pleased! Boats have a bad reputation for being money pits but they don’t have to be. If they are maintained and cared for they can last a life time. That’s why it’s important to have a marine service company you can trust. I’ll be back to Salvation Marine

Salvation Marine helped me keep my old boat on the water with good advice and a cost efficient repair on my inboard/outboard drive. I was impressed with Blake's knowledge and level of communication throughout. Both he and his staff were courteous, and they got my boat in and out of the shop on short notice... just in time for me to enjoy it for an important weekend of boating/fishing/camping with family and friends. I'm glad to finally have a local shop without ridiculously high rates. I will be seeking their help and advice again on future repairs/upgrades/service. Highly recommended!
