When it’s time to have your boat serviced, whether it’s a detailed electronics rig, a simple spring tune-up, or time to winterize your boat for the season, you can count on me to get the job done. I’ve been working on boats for most of my life and I understand the complexities and importance of proper maintenance and expert service. I’m Yamaha certified and I make it easy by bringing my skills to you – no need to haul your boat anywhere.
I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by water and boats. A long-time resident of Pawleys Island, I’ve been working on boats for as along as I can remember. Small boats, big boats, jon boats, outboards, center consoles, you name it.
I am a native of Columbia, S.C. and made a move to the coast in 2000. My early years were spent fishing in Broadwater Swamp with my dad and skiing on Lake Murray. My love of being on the water hasn’t changed, just my coordinates. I caught my first flounder in Pawleys Creek with my future wife, Courtney; I have had a passion ever since for that creek and my wife, but not necessarily in that order. In 2004, I became a marine technician for the Boat Shed of Georgetown, S.C. and in 2009 I achieved Yamaha Master Technician certification. In April 2013, I started a company that provides on-site boat, motor, and trailer services in an effort to fulfill a need in the community and surrounding areas. If time on the water is what you enjoy, my focus is to keep you there. I am committed to keeping your boat at peak performance so that your play time is uninterrupted.
Manning’s Boat Service…committed to keeping you on the water.
From Spring tune-ups to major engine repair and electronics, I bring over 20 years of professional experience to each and every customer and boat I service. Best of all, I bring my services right to you - no need to trailer your boat into the shop.
Experience has taught me that boats are a lot like people – each has a distinct personality. It’s my job to get to know each and every client and boat I service. I offer a range of services from basic maintenance to complex electronics and major engine repair.
Whether your boat is tied up on the creek, sitting in your driveway, or waiting in a boatyard, the last thing you want to do is transport it across town for maintenance. No matter how large or small the job is, I am happy to complete your service at a time and place that is convenient for you. A phone call, text message or email is all it takes.
