Will a repair shop in Palmetto take my boat?
That depends on the boat, so check first. Atlantic Pro describes its engine work as covering a wide range of outboard-powered boats, and its site publishes no maximum length or weight for haul-out. An owner with a larger boat, an inboard or a diesel should call 941-292-1112 with the length, the propulsion and the job, and confirm the boat can be hauled there.
How do I choose a boat repair shop near Sarasota?
Start with the engine and the job. A shop that services the boat’s engine brand, can haul it out if needed, and also does the fiberglass or electrical work a repair can turn into saves moving the boat between yards. Ask what the estimate is based on, and what will only be known after inspection.
For outboard boats, Atlantic Pro is an authorized Mercury, Yamaha and Suzuki dealer, with engine, fiberglass, electronics, upholstery and bottom paint work on the same site.
What repair work does Atlantic Pro do?
Engine service and repair includes routine maintenance, computer diagnostics, cooling, fuel and electrical repairs, steering and controls, rigging, major repairs and repowers. Separate pages cover outboard service and repair, outboard repowers, fiberglass and gelcoat repair and bottom painting.
Electronics, upholstery and canvas, and trailers and transport are on the services page.
Can I get a repair estimate without bringing the boat in first?
For a first estimate, often yes. The fiberglass page asks for photos of the damage, and the repower page builds a quote from the boat’s year, make, model and current engines. Other jobs can start through the contact page or by phone on 941-292-1112.
Some work is scoped only after inspection. Soft spots, transoms and stringers are examples the site names.
Can engine and fiberglass work be done on the same boat?
Yes, at the same shop. Atlantic Pro’s site describes one shop handling the engine, rigging, electronics and fiberglass work on a repower, and combining service, fiberglass, upholstery, electronics, bottom paint and detailing into a restoration. What gets combined depends on what the boat needs.
The Suzuki repower guide covers how new power is quoted.
Where is the shop, and when is it open?
3311 US-41, Palmetto, Florida 34221, in Manatee County. Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 3pm, closed Sunday. Phone 941-292-1112 or 941-292-1119.
