What is included in a full marine detail?
Our full detailing includes hull polishing, oxidation removal, interior deep cleaning, vinyl conditioning, and a protective sealant application.
How long does shrink wrap take?
Typically, shrink wrapping takes 2–4 hours depending on the boat size. We recommend scheduling this before the first snowfall in North Idaho.
Do you offer climate-controlled storage?
Yes, we provide secure, climate-controlled indoor storage as well as outdoor options paired with our professional shrink wrapping.
Can you repair my boat at my dock?
Absolutely. Our mobile mechanics are equipped to handle most diagnostics, oil changes, and minor repairs directly at your location or dock.
How often is upholstery service needed?
We recommend a deep clean and UV protection treatment annually. If you notice cracks or wear, we can discuss full restoration or repair.
What is site-specific Winterization?
Winterization involves draining fluids and stabilizing the engine. In our region, this is essential by late October to prevent freezing.
