Marine Specialities of Louisiana

I was looking for a long-term relationship with an honest, dependable boat installer/repair/maintenance facility. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that this is not going to be the place. I went in on a Friday to try and set an appointment for graph installs, probably about a 4 hour job that I was ready to pay $600-$700 for. I met the guys in the shop, and they told me they were finishing up on a boat, and to come back Monday and they would start on my boat Monday or Tuesday. I returned Monday and then the plan has changed, they told me they would call me "later in the week". I didn't hear from them until the following Friday... So much for dependability. Also, while I was in the office I found out (the hard way) that this place buys and sells used boats. I mentioned that I had another boat that I was gonna be selling, and the "salesman" tried the old "used car salesman technique" of acting like he was looking up my boats value and immediately started brow beating me and telling me about "trade-in value" (which really does not apply to SELLING a boat outright ) He tried telling me that my boat was only worth $10k. I guess he preys on the uninformed and the naive to make his commission. He used to be a boat salesman for a now bankrupt boat dealer. I sold my boat for almost double his ludicrous appraisal to the first guy that looked at my boat. I will have to continue my search for a boat repair place that values repeat customers by honesty, dependability, and integrity. I was disappointed that this is not the place.

Bought Lowe boat from Marine specialities of Louisiana in spring of 2024 and discovered it had no recirculate in livewell. They wanted to make me happy so I bought a portable recirculating unit and they installed it for me. They gave me a good deal on the boat and took care of the recirculating problem. Ben in sales and Kevin the owner were great to work with. Thank y’all

Took my boat in for repairs, Kevin diagnosed quickly and helped me with insurance company. Jay sent in pictures and repair estimate to insurance company and repair was approved and done very promptly. My boat runs like brand new and I’m very happy with the pricing and customer service. I would definitely recommend these guys to anybody that has any problems with their boats!!!
