Ocean Performance : Great asset to the boating community!!
As many guys on here know I'm not one of the fortunate ones who can afford to buy a boat complete or pay someone to do all my service and repairs. I learn as i go and buy what I need when I can however I can, most of the time used.
This winter I bought my excalibur from Kreed who had it stored at OP. I had very little dealings with them other than buying some used parts at the swap meet. Hanging around there I got to know Chris and his staff quite well and did some diesel repair work for them.
I traded off some of the work for parts, and indoor storage for the remainder of the season.
Since then they have opened the doors for me whenever I wanted to work on my boat, loaned me tools, equipment, experience, and access to just about anything marine related I could need. They even put my boat on one of there trailers until I finish rebuilding the one I purchased from them (for a great deal).
I can not thank everyone at Ocean Performance enough for everything they've done to help a boater on a budget with big dreams. Where else can you go that the owner of the company will take time out of his day to drive down to the ramp and help you launch your boat ?
I highly recommend them to any and all boaters looking for a great facility with old school down to earth personalized service.

Well said, lil red! 
Just like you, I've been a junk yard dog for years. What I've always liked about Chris and the guys at Ocean Performance is they are real people who are genuine with no ego. They treat you well weather you're looking for an old Gil manifold or a new boat!
I'm bummed that we missed the swap meet last fall, hope they do another one this year!

I feel very fortunate to have Ocean Performance in my neck of the woods. They have been wonderful to deal with on all the boats I own. Whether it be painting, graphics, towing, or mechanical work, they do it all with great precision and at an affordable price. I really appreciate all the help they have given me and look forward too many great years ahead doing business with them.
