Are you having communication issues?

This client came to us with concerns about his VHF line of sight communications. This is a brand new boat fresh out of the factory. We started with a power and reflectivity test with unsatisfactory results. The antenna installed had over 30% reflectivity! That equates to a huge loss of power output and very limited range. After the antennas were swapped out for the Shakespeare phase3, we were able to get the power loss down below 2% but the vhf transmitter was already damaged reading less then 12 out of 25 watts. We have the equipment and knowledge to quickly and accurately diagnose your issue, provide a detailed explanation of what the root cause of failure was, and why It was effecting your vessel.

Hells bay upgrades! A fantastic repeat client asked us to take care of his interim flats boat so he could enjoy It while the new rides being built. We removed the raymarine system and replaced It with the Simrad Yachting NSS9 evo3s paired with the active image 3-1 transducer. Acrylic dash pad hand made in house. We topped off job with some Black Oak LED “headlights” to help him avoid crab traps on the skinny creek transit back to his dock.

After 4 months of back orders we were finally able to complete the last part of this clients suite! Garmin Marine fantom 24 on a seaview 5” aft leaning pedestal.

Attention all clients! I know the posts are lacking on the page but after many requests I finally found out how to enable facebook reviews on this page. If we have provided any service on your vessel, Good or bad, please feel free to share your thoughts! These reviews will help us work on any shortfalls we have and share the good word with potential new clients.

Thank you all!

Does anyone need an Airmar B175-M 20* tilted element transducer? I had a client back about since the unit was ordered months ago. With supply shortages I would rather sell the unit local then let It sit on the shelf. This unit is a Mix match transducer so I can provide the appropriate pigtail for whatever brand of MFD you’re running. This transducer is a perfect match for the north east Florida fishery. Excellent bottom coverage while trolling, high speeding, and even mid depth deep dropping! Available immediately.
