Best shop in Long Island

[95Activator]

Hey guys just curious what is the best shop to get a hydraulic jackplate installed on my 22ft activator and in the future get the heads milled? thanx for the info in advanced please put a website and/or phone number and address if you know? BTW this is the best site in the world.

[Scream And Fly]

You should give Ocean Marine a call - they are in Freeport. www.oceanmarine1.com (http://www.oceanmarine1.com). Jimmy Mulnar is the head mechanic there and does very good work.

Jimmy knows his stuff really well, he rigged more 22 activators than anyone in the late 80s. He helped me a lot with my boat. Defantly give them a call.

[THE HOSER]

The best
I like joey at eastcoast 631-422-7997
joey has only worked on performance boats for 30 years.
i guess that should say something for the quailty of workmanship.

[95Activator]

Yeah I think I will call Ocean Jimmy but I first gotta get my tax return back lol.

[EddyT]

oceanmarine, jimmy is the man. your activator and yourself will leave "FASTER" and very happy. ED

Midcoast Patchogue 631 289-3949 Eric Or Lou

[Superboat24]

Try Mike B at Thrasher Marine 631-363-8076 Patchogue, Ny
Quality work and easy to work with.

[299]

I use Midcoast Performance MArine in Patchogue for all of my work. Eric is very fair and knows his stuff. You will not find a more attentive person in this industry who cares about his work then him. You will not be dissappointed...

631 289 3949

[GelcoatJoe]

i would have to say, east coast marine is one of most experianced perf. guys, he has been around the block.....i known him since 1975, and you will pay top dollar, but hay, quality cost money

[SERIOUS]

You guys forgot Marine 2000,he is good 4 me,nice work and priced properly!!! trippsWHERE ARE THEY LOCATED?:confused:

[Outlaw Too]

I was at Bob's shop over the weekend. Great work, reliable and priced reasonable. And what a clean shop!! Don't miss stopping by his shop. He is helping re-do my motion. His glass guy Vinnie does some awesome work also. Seems like they work great together. I'll show you what kind of work they do when my Motion is finished!

[sxypal2]

I would go with Jimmy from Ocean Outboard. He is the man when it comes to outboards. I have nothing against Joey at ECM but the prices. Just my opinion.:cool:

[activator22]

I've had work done at both ECM and Marine2K.

I would avoid ECM when it's racing season unless you are spending major $$$$ with Joe, it took him 4 weeks to put my lower unit back together (2 weeks longer then promised) because he was off racing.... (It took him all of 30 mins to remove and tear down the lower unit when I brought the boat in, looked like he could do it in his sleep)

Bob at Marine 2K was a little better staying to his promised schedule, had him install a new gas tank, and mid on my 2.4. , but still not perfect - they foamed in the tank and the foam expanded more then they expected, putting the back of the tank just above the stringers... He just looked at me and shrugged...

[Mastercraft241]

they foamed in the tank and the foam expanded more then they expected, putting the back of the tank just above the stringers... He just looked at me and shrugged...
I dont know what you did after he did that but i would FLIP. I honestly dont know what i would do but if i paid for him to foam in my tanks and he screws it up and gave me a shurg......:eek: i dont know what i would do

[gotboostedvr6]

lol that is classic he shrugged lol i hope you didnt pay him.

eastcoast marine work

[T2x]

Joey at East Coast is the best....... bar none.

The other shops mentioned are in many cases good as well..but Joey has more experience and talent than anyone else. While he may have had "issues" in the past when he was racing actively, you must also remember that there is a reason why he was sought after for years by the biggest names in the racing business and Mercury Racing as well...He is simply ...That good! His schedule is no longer an issue as he is not on any active race programs right now and has put his work priorities in better order.

He has my highest recommendation.

Joe at ecm is the best. Also it fun to go to his shop for his inciteful musings of waynes (jerry's) block on to of his neck. Joe is the only guy who can shut "jerry" up and that not an easy thing to do.:D

[SUPAJAY]

Rob- your superboat looks great, cant wait to see the finished product.

I think this thread has made it clear that both East Coast Marine and Lighspeed (John) do excellent work.

Jim at Ocean marine has always done the right thing by me. He rigged the new power on my boat,he handles all the problems I bring to him; gets it right the first time and at reasonable cost.He always takes the time to talk to you and gets the job done with minimal down time.

[Scream And Fly]

Lightspeed is the best around he is the only person I would let work on my boat. He's been doing it for longer and better then anyone else around.

John, why are you signing up additional logins to congratulate yourself? I thought you were not commercial in any way, yet you're breaking forum rules by registering additional logins to promote your work?

John, congratulations. You are the very first person in Scream And Fly history to have a spot-on location and ISP match for every login with the other login name in question and yet you're not the same person :) . Not only that, but it just so happens that MM23's very first post was on your thread, congratulating you. What a strange coincidence that is. Please don't make me post complete IP tracer route information. :)

You also said you were not commercial in any way, yet I see many of your customers on this thread. I'm confused.

I'll call tomorrow - things have been extremely hectic here, so please understand that. My phone messages are backed up like crazy.

hey guys long time no been here but guess I could close this topic since I chose Joey at east coast marine he is very nice and was honest with me. Thanx for all the info.

[Mastercraft241]

how'd you get in contact with him:confused: :eek: ... Ive been trying to get in touch with him for over a week and a half

[SERIOUS]

If someone is to be found guilty and ostracized in a public forum I
would like to see the facts.

I find it interesting that details, that are assumed private, are
posted in a public forum. To be fair everyone's IP address should be
POSTED, preferable in XML format. I'm certain other interesting details
can surely be mined.

Footnotes:
1)This system is written in perl script. I wouldn't rely on it
producing accurate data telling me my tractor is running out of gas, let
alone condemn someone.

2) This thread reads like a censored Blog from China or Iran. Is this
really about Fifty Bucks? Appears more like the "Communist manifesto"
being implemented word for word.

3) Users should be aware that the sysop is Data mining users, take
special note of the text "[View Other IP Addresses for this User]".
This clearly provides insight to intent.

4) "Don't tell your neighbor about the branch in his back yard till you
clean up the trunk in your own". In short update your copyright
notice.

5) You got way to much time on your hands.
Oh I get it tree trunk:rolleyes: Do you know a good tree guy?:D:eek:

I heard ECM is good, but i have to say Jimmy at Ocean Marine is just great, he rigged my F1 boat and at night they blocked it in so it wouln`t disappear,He also built the 225 Merc that was on the hydrostream that I bought last year,the thing here is he built it 20 years ago, and 20 years later the thing is still going 90 + mph,They also do Skaters and STV s all the time,They are really good !:D

[SUPAJAY]

Jimmy also rigged multiple 21superboats and 22 activators in the 80s
- he knows his chit, noone else touches my motas :D
