Atlantic Boat Rentals

Do not go here!! Ron is extremely shady and unprofessional; I spent over $3,000 at his shop and my boat still does not run properly! Last year I had Atlantic rebuild the carburetors, clean the fuel tank, replace the thermostat and water pump, change all the fluids, remove the vro to go premix, fine tune the engine, replace the wheel bearing on the trailer, etc. You name it, it was done. When I picked up the boat I noticed that the wheels on the trailer were lose. Because I'm a mechanic, I instantly knew it was a wheel bearing issue. I called Ron and we agreed that he would fix it next year because it was so late in the season that I decided to winterize the boat. This year I launched the boat and had to take it right out of the water because the engine would not run on full throttle. I called Ron and brought my boat back thinking he would make it right considering I didn't even use the boat and spent all this money on an overhaul last year. Wrong! He told me the carburetors needed to be cleaned, which seemed odd because they were completely rebuilt before being winterized. After going back and forth I caved in and paid $500 to have them cleaned because all the boat places in the area were completely booked and I wanted my boat back. Regarding the trailer issue, he said water must of got into the wheel bearings and they were ruined. Funny, Ron was the only one that had the trailer in the water; the trailer was in the water a total of two times. After going back and forth again, he told me he would replace the bearings but after that I needed to take my boat elsewhere. Extremely rude! And he really thought I would go back there?! After picking the boat up from having the carbs rebuilt a second time within a year, the boat won't idle and consistenly stalls out. Ron says he'll warranty his work for 30 days, but after my horrific experiences at his shop (not even taking into consideration the fact he told me not to come back), I'll take my business elsewhere. Don't waste your time and money going to Altantic Boat Repair, go to a reputable shop where the owners treat their customers with respect and who will actually fix your boat.
