Took my road cover to Smittys and explained what I wanted done the gentleman said ok and if there was any questions he would call. They called 2 weeks later and said it was finished I went to pick it up and there was only a little bit of seam sealer on it. I asked the guy what they did and he said "I don't know". It was not the response I was hoping for.

A friendly greeting goes a long long way with me. You won't get that with the office staff here.
I had a Bimini top built last summer for my boat at Smitty's. It's pretty nice, but if you're looking for something like newer models have.. you may want to look elsewhere.
I'm giving them another chance with a road cover due to logistics. I will update upon receipt of the boat.

Rick takes care of his customers - first off, if you are reading reviews about Smittys being busy and you think that's somehow a bad thing, think about a good restaurant you've been to recently and whether you had to wait or not, whether it was easy to get a table or whether it was challenging...smittys is busy because they do good work at a fair price. It's really that simple. However, that's not why I'm writing this review. Considering the demand from customers and how they are keeping Rick busy, I didn't expect me situation to go well. I had a pontoon enclosure made by smittys last spring. Over

I contacted Smitty's in early April to find out cost and possibly schedule a new mooring cover. The price was comparable and the timing was 3 weeks out. My response was please schedule me in and when do you want me to drop the boat off. After no response, I e-mailed again and they couldn't remember what boat I had previously described. I continued to ask when I should drop off the boat and after many e-mails and almost a month went by I was told to drop it off Mid June... Say WHAT??? I will look elsewhere.

We were all ready to purchase a custom top for our pontoon and someone recommended we try Smitty's for a repair first. All I can say is wow! Affordable, fast and fantastic work. You can barley tell where the tears were and saved us thousands. I will use them for everything. Lady behind the counter was nice and helpful to me.

New interior and cover, both are perfect. The interior looks factory, all the way down to the embroidery and the new vinyl floor. Judy in the front office was easy to work with, even when we dropped by from time to time unannounced, Steve and the rest of the entire team were amazing at putting our pontoon back together. We would absolutely recommend having your watercraft repaired here, glad we did. Also thanks for making the delivery back to Monticello. Have a grt rest of the year.

My experience working with Todd at Smitty's was nothing short of the best transaction of my life. They helped me through the entire process of purchase, installation of a new tower, and helped me find the best process to transport it home. These guys are the best. The next vehicle I buy will come from these guys. Thanks Todd.

So very disappointed. Left our boat seats and other interior pieces for repair/replacement and were given a pick up date, with them knowing we had a water-based vacation planned the week following the agreed upon date. Called two days before scheduled pick up date, and guess what? We were told they weren't going to be able to do them in time and hadn't even started on them.
They had our seats for weeks, and did not bother to call to tell us they were too backed up to do them. Simply dumbfounded over the lack of courtesy to advise us they could not fulfill their promise. A simple

Not a boat but a JEEP!! I took my soft top Jeep to have some minor rips repaired. After what I had read on line about repairing it on my own I decided to have it done by professionals. I was very pleased with the workmanship, cost and timeliness. They repaired the back windows each with similar tears, but made them match. Not everyone would care for the aesthetics. Also, where the soft top had weakened in the front, from the previous owner keeping it out in the elements, they applied matching canvas to strengthen and waterproof. I'm very happy with the outcome. The cost was very reasonable

The Indiana University Waterski Team has always strived to find the best quality products for our boats that can be delivered as quickly and fairly priced as possible. Smitty's Indy Marine was recommended to us by our regular mechanic in Indianapolis and they definitely did not disappoint us. We received a great quality custom boat cover and are sure that it will turn out to be a great investment. Highly recommend.

The true test for boat canvas is how it holds up outdoor use. After a year the boat tarp that Smitty's made for our boat is as good as new. They did the new tarp on schedule and on budget. They improved upon the original tarp design and added an additional position for a pole for water to roll off the boat. The bilge pump is almost never needed since the tarp does such a great job keeping water out if the boat. The tarp fits snuggly but is easy to snap into place. Quality work from a dependable local merchant. I would take my boat there again if I ever need another boat cover.

This place rocks. They custom made my road cover 16 years ago, it is still withstanding the rigors of 70mph going down the highway for over 150 thousand miles, well done! I have and will continue to use Smitty's for all my canvas work.
I recently had a brainstorm about how to fix the problem of while sitting in back seat of the boat on rainy day and getting wet. I had some ideas. After putting it on paper and explaining how I wanted it to work and adding my wife's request. It took a little engineering, it was accomplished.
It looks as though it came from the factory. I only wish

This place was recommended by West Marine in Castleton. Apparently there are several shops in town all run by extended members of the same family who are genetically predisposed to be great boat upholstery craftsman. I'm sure some patent troll is in the process of patenting that gene right now.
I got my boat seat repaired at the price their quoted and in the amount of time they quoted. That's all I ask for.
Let's see if it lasts 10+ years like it did from the factory.
