They work on my boat also. Twin 200 HPDI’s. Also helped me figure out a wiring issue that drove me nuts for years.
They are my number one choice.
He may be good for working on boats but I wouldn’t buy one from him. I spent 6 months trying to get my title for a boat I bought last November. He would not return my calls and emails. When i got lucky and he answered the phone he would lie to me. I turned him into DNR and all the sudden he got the title the next day. And 6 months is not an exaggeration, I bought the boat last November and just got the title last week.
first of all tom, no one ever lied to you.
the guy who owned the boat, not me, was gone for several months, and he had the titles. he brought me the titles the day the DNR office called about your titles, which is how you ended up with the titles in hand in columbia the next day, because they had already been sent.
did it take to long, yes
did anyone ever lie to you, no
sometimes the hassle involved with the paperwork isnt nearlt worth the very small amount of money ($300)(it was a $3000 boat motor and trailer) we make selling older used boats, but the seller is a buddy, and a great customer, so we sold it for him.
If you had a notory stamp your bill of sale when boat was purchased you could have gotten a new title yourself at the DNR, instead of waiting on the title.
I have done that before on a boat motor, that I bought.
problem was, we didnt have the titles or the seller signature, the seller was out of town. He said he previously brought us the titles, and dropped them off with someone who isnt here anymore, and we didnt have any record of the titles, and we had to wait for him to get back to get duplicates.
I have lived in Charleston my whole life and have used about every repair shop in the area and have no major complaints about any but in my opinion Chris and his team are the best. They try hard to accommodate, they troubleshoot well, their work is great and if a mistake is made they are quick to correct it. Charleston Marine is the only place I take my boats and I would highly reccommend to give them a try.
How about this line from back in April
“He brought the title in today and I am taking it to DNR this afternoon, you will have the title by the weekend”
The following week
“You didn’t get it, I took the title to DNR on James Island last week. I’ll call and see what happened and call you back.”
To me that is lying. And if it was not worth you selling then you should not have sold it. Whatever, it’s over and I did get the title. And I do understand stuff happens. But I just don’t like being lied to.
I am going to get a chair and some popcorn for this one.
tom
I wouldnt even attempt to say I could recall a conversation from 3 days ago, much less 6 weeks
I do know I told you the guy was out of town, and I couldnt do anything until he came back, and I also know we had the stuff done before DNR called us.
Never heard a bad thing about Chris at all and I have had my boat worked on by him and no problems, Great business and will continue to use him, the only problem they have is they fix to boat to well so no return work!!!jk Thanks chris for all you do for us and this site!

Chris, As a dealer for over 30 years up here in NC I know how big a pain in the butt it can be to chase down a seller for a signature on a title. (especially if you’ve already paid them for the consignment sale) As soon as they get the money the sence of urgency to complete the transaction is over (at least for them) Most don’t have any idea how much jeopardy they put us as dealers in when the title is not perfected in the allotted time frame both from a legal stand point and from a reputation stand point. I know first hand on several occasions over the years I wanted to strangle a consignment seller for the very same thing. We adopted a policy here to not pay the seller until he produced a signed bill of sale and title for the vehicle that we were selling for them. You’ll find that a lot of consignment sellers still owe money on the vehicle that thier selling and can’t produce a title till they pay off the lien holder - in that case we deal directly with the lien holder and pay them when we consumate the sale and get the title directly from them. I know you probably know all of this but I for one have first hand expierence with situations just like the one you’ve described and thought I’d offer this tidbit of information to those who have never operated a dealership that sells on consignment.
