Does anyone have a recommendation for a boat/marine mechanic around NB? I bought an older boat and want to get it checked out and establish a relationship for when stuff inevitably breaks.

I haven't used them personally yet but several friends have been happy with Nxt Lvl. Our neighbor was also somewhat happy with Mayhem marine up at the lake.

Thanks yall. I wonder if NXT LVL works on old boat's because the ones they sell are ridiculously expensive

Fuquay Marine was pretty good when we lived there.

Call Heath at Bucky-J's in McQueeney. He's a great guy and a fantastic mechanic. 210-445-7667

Call Heath! He is the best!

Excellent suggestions. It looks like Heath has convenient hours too

Does Heath do small fiberglass repairs?

Also if anyone wants an affordable upholstery guy I have one of those too.

He does Small and large fiberglass repair. He has honed his craft from all the guys hitting stuff with placid and McQueeny getting lowered.

Yes, Heath can handle anything you can throw at him.

Evidently Heath does not do any outboard engines. He said he only specializes in ski boats.

Nxt Lvl reconditioned my 2002 bowrider (Rinker Captiva). Tuned up the motor (220 Merc), installed new bilge pump and replaced the steering system. Great job. I later had a guy come over and fill a couple of chipped spots and polish the entire hull to like new. Also eplaced the old decals on the sides to complete the refresh. The carpet and upholstery are in great shape.

Do you still have the guys contact info that filled in the chips and polished?

Yeah, but he's moved out of state. I think there is a kid at Nxt Lvl that does that as a side gig but don't remember his name.

Give Steve Robicheaux a call at:

They do great fiberglass work and have mechanics there as well.

Really no-nonsense guy. Straight shooter no BS.

Agree about Steve and fiberglass repair!

Mechanic I used in the past is Brian. Eckroat on 3009 and 1863. Honest guy and knows his stuff. Eckroat Marine.
