I had to have my faulty outdated trim/tilt pump replace. I was informed by Dale (I think that is his name!) that it would be better to put a “jack plate” on instead. I was skeptical but was informed by the shop manager that it would give me the better out come in the long run. Well, it took a lot longer to get my boat back because of back order issues. But when I was able to get back on the water my trim worked better than ever. The manager comes across a little hard and straight forward but he knows his job and cares about making sure the job is done right. He made sure I was happy with their

Needed a quote to paint a 17ft boat and the owner tried charging me 10k for a 5k job. Told me he had another winter job and couldn't touch my boat for 6 months. Also, they are not BBB accredited went to Atlanta Marine and they took really good care of me.

Del is extremely professional, honest man!
I took my boat in for a fiberglass patch, he told me a price and the wait time, he ended up finishing a few days early, and when i went to pick it up, it was less then the price he gave me... alot of people won't do that, they tell u a price and thats what it's going to be, not him, he is honest.. and did a heck of a job! Can't wait for him to do my carpet!!!!
Thanks Del!!!!

Just had my first experience witg JDA Marine/Del. Very impressed with the honesty and efficiency in finding the problem with my outboard. It was a small problem and that’s exactly how Del handled it. No upselling or other shenanigans.
Thanks Del.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. They took my boat in when others wouldnt and went above and beyond what i asked for. Del called me and we went through every step of the process. The most important thing is he takes pride in his work and pays attention to detail with everything. It showed when I saw my completed boat. If you need boat restoration or repairs done for a fair price, I highly recommend taking yours here. Especially if you have classic.

I have been using JDA for the past 20 years and I've always had good service with any type of repair. I have had mechanical, gel coat/fiberglass and upholstery work done. You can literally get everything you need done at this one shop and done in very timely manner. Thanks JDA!

Del is unprofessional. I spoke with him on a Thursday about buying a boat he had for sale. Due to the fact I'm in another state I agreed to a $1000 nonrefundable deposit. We agreed that I would call back the next day so we could get everything started. I called 4 time and text him to give me a call so I could get a check out to him. He never responded. I continued to call and text for the next 4 days. Finally on Tuesday he answered to tell me he sold the boat Friday afternoon. I'm more disappointed that I wasted my time contacting him. When he could have easily respond back Friday or Saturday that

Unbelievable. Del was SHOCKINGLY rude when I called to see if someone could help lift my engine prop so I could tow an 'inheritance' boat to JDA for restoration. Before I could even finish my first sentence, he cut me off to ask questions about the details of the motor, and then treated me an idiot for not knowing (or caring about) the answers. He then impatiently tried to walk me through troubleshooting, treating me like a 4-year-old the entire time, and IGNORING the accurate feedback I was giving him. I finally ended up sending him a picture to prove to him what I was looking at, and Del came
