Hi Sea Hunt,
We keep our boat at a boat yard in Morgan, NJ where the mechanics are
VERY busy. But they're good -- at least we haven't had any problems with any of the work we've had done there -- and they're expensive. I can't vouch for anyone else's experiences with them. But boats are brough there from all around the area (from both NY and NJ) just to have them worked on by the folks at Lockwood's.
Morgan's a daysail away from Weehawken (south and west, about 20 nm) and the boat yard,
Lockwood Boat Works, is located on a small creek off the Cheesequake Creek at the southwestern end of Raritan Bay.
I mentioned earlier that the mechanics are very busy, so you'll have to get in line. That means that you may have a long wait to get any work done since there will be a pile of work orders ahead of yours. So if you want them to work on an engine for you, submit your workorder ASAP. It has to be a written workorder, you can't just ask them to do something for you or it'll never get done. And be very specific when filling out your workorder. They won't do anything that's not on it.
