There s so much to say. I can t recall who recommended Eli to me but I m forever grateful. He has done everything imaginable to my boat and has done a fantastic job, electrical, electronics install, stereo install, trolling motor install and rewiring, motor service, and most recently he repowered my boat with DF200 through his Suzuki dealership. Boy, do I love that motor so far. Eli is great and goes out of his way to ensure the customer is satisfied and spends the least amount possible. This guy is doing right. He will have my continued business. Thanks Eli!!Services: Tune-ups, General repairs & maintenance, General installation, Accessory & electronic installations, Engine repair

Great service. I had a tournament last week and last day of practicing my motor was giving me trouble. I brought it in to Eli and his guys and they had it diagnosed and fixed in an hour. I take both my boats to him and he always treats me fair. Thanks Eli and crew.

Highly Recommended! Eli stayed over, on his off day, for a meeting I was late to. I had reservations when I realized this was a dealership and I needed major repairs for my off-brand boat & trailer. Eli s honesty is impeccable. He is absolutely fair and reasonable. I felt secure as he guided my every decision about the boat. I am so grateful I took a chance on Eli s Marine s 5-star rating and complete line of service. You, too, shall not be disappointed!

Eli is a stand up guy! I brought my boat in because it was time for an engine upgrade. He was able to give an even bigger engine I couldnt afford for the same price. Him captain Dave and the crew had it in the next day and I was on the water by Sunday. Eli also was able to sell my old motor for me so I didn't have to deal with anything. Ty Eli the boat is running great. I Highly recommend this place!!!

These 5 star reveiws must be from friends to boost ratings. I didn't want to, but feel I need to, we can't be the only 1 treated this way and don't want anyone else to experience what we did. First of all, let me tell you. Their invoices aren't very detailed, so you don't know exactly what you're getting and they don't exactly explain it to well. The first time we picked it up, when they said it was ready and all cleaned up, things were were missing off the boat and had to ask for, and didn't give me back my old new gauges as requested, gauges and bilage pump not working and they were when it went to their shop.By the way, that's the best thing about it. When he says it went in to get cleaned, it actually comes back dirtier than when you took it. On my first 3 hour idle test run across Lake Apopka, after i was able to give it more gas, it only ran 18 miles an hour, due to that throttle linkage not being installed correctly.P***** coming back across the Lake, i texted the owner and ended up back at their shop that day. 2 trips to the Lake and 3 to the shop. He said it was running correctly so I took it home. Took it out with the family, and it ran 30 miles per hour. With 50RPM, so you guessed it, went back to their shop. Saying it was resolved I picked it up and we took it out yesterday and the over rev light comes on at 5800 RPM's and they burnt our boat deck, God knows how. In short, I am done with this place and waiting for a call back from Suzuki. So it can go elsewhere and get resolved. There are more minor details but I am done.

The gentleman running the counter can not make it through a price quote for an engine without cursing in front of a 6 year old. Don t take your family in.

Eli used his CnC machine to fab a new acrylic dash for our 2013 Sportsman. Installed a new Lowrance 12 HDS Live and an awesome Clarion stereo that can be play through the Lowrance. We love it. It s perfect. Just like that and the boat looks like a 2020 model. We have a few more ideas to update/upgrade our vessel in the future. Eli and crew is who we ll go with.

We had recently upgraded to a bigger motor on our boat - and of course - experienced several problems to follow! Eli reached out to my cry for help on Facebook (I had a big birthday boat party coming up the next weekend!!) and he was able to schedule us in for service.We dropped our boat off Wednesday night and it was ready by Thursday afternoon. He was very responsive and knowledgable - and since then, he has even gone out of his way to always answer our phone calls to troubleshoot other issues we have experienced. (2004 Sea Fox - so we have been pretty much replacing everything... )Highly recommend Eli's Marine!Services: Tune-ups, General repairs & maintenance

Awesome service. Very responsive and knowledgeable. I was most impressed when he tried to Trouble shoot the problem over the phone to try and fix the problem quickly. Most people don t do that. Eli immediately sets up a time to come and see you asap and comes straight to your dock! Very convenient. He even got in the water to install new steering cable underneath the boat. Truly A+++. He just wants to get you back on the water. Thanks Eli.Service: General repairs & maintenance
