Big Pond Boatworks is a locally owned and operated business. Pete the owner operator of this business is nothing less than an artist/ genius when it comes to pretty much all things boat. I say pretty much just because hes not going to overhaul your outboard. Thats not what he does. He knows a guy whos amazing in that field, and he will gladly hook you up with that individual. What he is, is a very skilled, knowledgeable, crafstman, and a true artist with boat hulls in minor to major trouble. I have witnessed Pete along with Michelle repair a fiberglass sailboat that its anchor came loose in a storm from its bow roller and put a large hole through the port side of the hull above the water line. They fixed it in no time flat. One could look at the repair from a variety of angles, and couldnt tell it had ever been damaged. Ive seen them tackle huge jobs and small scratches. Hurricane massively damaged totalled boats and turned them into surveyed pieces of perfection. I witnessed a large trawler come in with a chunk missing out of its bronze rudder. This guy wanted it fixed quick and back in the water. Well you would think hey Im on a boating island theres bronze to be had to make this repair... Nope. So Pete cuts a blade off of a propeller forges it into shape and makes the repair. This is the Master Craftsman that will be working on your vessel. No Keys disease Pete and Michelle are there and there to work. They are both perfectionist. They are both very experienced licensed Captains as well. A new addition to the mix of abilities would be Nauti Prep. This is a very specialized service in wich utilizes dustless blasting medias. It is so effective at removing layers upon layers of bottom paints, he can have your bottom cleaned off ready for paint literally in a couple of hours. And its much more environmentally friendly than using your hand held sander. He can also prep any surface for paint, epoxies, or other finishes with it. Well if youre still with me this far into the review, quit reading and either give him a call or swing in.... Youll be glad you did.
Fantastic people who went above and beyond in cleaning the bottom of our boat. Thank you!
PJ and Michelle are both very good to work with,and do great work! I will contact them when it’s time to paint the hull!!
Found them on the Internet . Needed a Yacht Quality Imron spray paint job. They paint with Awl Grip which is similar to Imron. With my big boat experience, I thought Pete and Michelle knew what they were doing.I was VERY impressed with results of their Yatch Quality work. I will definitely use them again for future projects.
