Beware Of Competition Marine
Located near St Charles, MO they are trying to bill my buddy for $34k on a rebuild project that was quoted $18k. Now additional work was done to the tune of $3-4k. The boat was picked up in December, promised by May 1, now July 1 and another $12k appears on the bill. Another case of a shop trying to screw a guy.

A number of years ago, I brought my 28 Cigarette there for service, 2 weeks later it was still sitting in their lot, not in a locked area, not chained down, not covered.... I took it home and found a different shop. Later I started to hear simular horror stories like the one posted here.
Stay away from them.

Horrible to deal with and will screw you every chance they can. Never on time. I have quite a few horror story's about them. Two other friends of mine used them and had bad luck with them. They lie through their teeth. STAY AWAY!!!!!

They have lost me as a customer, I asked for a quote to convert my boat for tripple to staggered and Jeff told me he would get back to me by the end of the day with a quote.....and that was three weeks ago. I have called and left 10 messages and no calls back. After I hung up the phone the other day leaving my last message I thought to myself "If they don't have the time to return a call regarding a large job, is this the place I want working on my boat 2 1/2 months from boating season?"
I really would like to stay somewhat local, but if I have to travel I guess I will.
