I spent months researching options for solving a leak in the fuel tank on my 43-year old Grand Banks trawler, with no one willing to undertake repairs in lieu of replacement. Luckily, I kept searching and found SP Marine. Darren quickly called me directly and engaged in a long and detailed conversation aimed at exploring all of my options before we settled on a repair commonly used in bigger ships. I was immediately impressed with the scope and depth of his knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of the various options. It gave me confidence that his repair plan could be carried out successfully. After excellent coordination of travel and estimated costs with the professional staff of SP Marine, I made the decision to conduct the work. From that point on, Darren and team made it effortless for me. They arrived on time, introduced themselves to my marina management and executed the repair plan as described; providing periodic photographic progress reports. In the end, I confidently refilled the tank and voyaged the very same day. Months later I am kicking myself for not choosing Darren’s plan earlier. If I have issues with my other tank, I won’t hesitate to contract SP Marine again to solve my problems quickly and effectively. Thanks for working with me to give me the right repair options!
