Due to the arduous nature of a thorough and complete boat restoration, we primarily restore heirloom, rare and vintage/classic boats that have sentimental value, retain value or have unique features. Costs can easily exceed the price of a new boat, however, a restored heirloom or vintage boat is unlike anything you can buy new today. Our restoration season typically begins in October/November.

Because of the cost and nature of a complete restoration, it's a very exclusive service offering and we only accommodate a very limited number of boats. Few boats are candidates for the invasive process.

For those seeking partial services (exterior only, interior only, structural only, or cosmetic only), most boats can be accommodated by our boat repair department!

Generally, a complete interior/exterior refit of a trailered boat starts at $60k-80k. This cost includes general maintenance to the existing system. If a new motor, gauges and electrical work is needed, costs can increase $10k-$50k+.

Costs vary based on what each boat requires, parts availability, custom fabrication and other specialty work as needed or requested by the client.

It's common to uncover additional damages when involved in a refit/restoration. We always recommend that clients prepare for possible cost overruns (~20%) and budget accordingly to cover for additional damages that may get uncovered.

Yes, we offer services to fit within a budget. This would be considered a partial refit and we provide thorough maintenance services to achieve a great result on a limited budget. We also offer restoration services in tiers/stages to accomplish a complete restoration over a number of years.

Keep in mind, financing is also an option to help spread out the cost of a complete refit over a term of up to 84 months. Read more about financing here.

To get started with a quote, please fill out the form below. Be sure to attach photos or preferably a dropbox or fileshare link of detailed photos (interior, exterior, motor), include the boat hull number, and also let us know the specifics of what you're looking to accomplish.

We can provide general refit/restoration costs and options with this information. Clients that wish to proceed after receiving preliminary costs are then scheduled for a drop-off date as our restoration schedule allows.

On-site inspections are reserved for clients that have already sent in detailed information and have approved preliminary costs.

After a client approves preliminary costs, this is our process:

*Client drops off boat and pays a deposit to start work.
*Thorough inspection, basic dismantling and tear-down begins.
*Detailed estimate is written and plan of action is devised.
*Work starts and follows approved work order, payments made at milestone points until job is completed.

Depending on the boat, scope of work and customized level of service, a restoration can take anywhere from 4-12+ months.

The photos of our restorations are detailed but do not tell the complete story of our work. The level of detail we give to our restorations is so tedious that we could not itemize every little step, custom touch and custom fabrication by our highly talented craftsmen. Custom plastic molding, custom metalwork, custom woodwork, and so much more goes into restoring vintage and classic boats, especially when ornate original pieces cannot be located or replicated. Our team restores, rebuilds, and repurposes.. giving new life and a long future to special boats.

We are always researching the most current financing options for our clients and you can find this information on our Financing page.

A boat restoration can be a time consuming and expensive project. Specialized carriers, such as Hagerty, offer both a Port Risk policy and Agreed Value policy. Port Risk covers damages that may occur during a restoration and Agreed Value covers the restored value of the boat at restoration completion. Navigation coverage can be added for full in-water boat operation.​
