The engine after routine service would no idle more than 5 minutes without stalling. Would not go into gear from idle. Had to rev up in neutral and drop into gear. I called the supervisor Helios and he said to bring it back. He would make it right. I took it back. They rebuilt the carburetor. Picked up again. The engine failed on the way back. Had it towed home. Helios said he would stop by and check it out. After two weeks of not coming to check it out. He stopped answering his phone. The steering also is still bad. Highly suggest you take your repairs elsewhere. Update. 3 months later and they still will not correct the services they performed.

Wish I could post the pictures here. The office there said that they just couldn't match gel coat. I ended up getting the job done properly elsewhere and they matched it just fine. Also like other reviewers we say significantly higher end billing prices than what was quoted. If you use Manatee Bay Marine, Inc in Key Largo for boat repairs just beware of experience and other boat owners poor experiences with this Key Largo area boat yard. Overall very, VERY bad experience with them... my advice take your boat to Key Largo proper.

NEGATIVE: On arrival there was NO ONE available to assist with docking. The office is a mess. computer issues, not answer email or phones. Not sending invoices. Beware of significant billing creep.. We were charged substantially more than estimate. Some of it was due to an extra work order but it really was exorbitant. This place is obviously for-sale... they really need a new owner. We won't be back.
