Find Boat Safety Pros in Sparta

I am a 100GT Captain with more than 35 years in the marine industry as a professional captain, marine technician, rigger, salesman, and more I have seen just about anything and everything in the marine industry you can think of.

Working for dealerships during much of my career, I was responsible for inspecting many of the trade-ins taken in for resale. It was my job to review boats before the dealerships agreed to make a deal, and then inspect the boats for necessary repairs or improvements once a boat was traded in.

I also worked as a professional marine mechanic for most of my marine career and hold a folder full of marine industry certifications including Mercruiser Master Technician.

My extensive marine education and experience cover structural, electrical, plumbing, drivetrain, electronics, and any other system or accessory onboard.

If you are interested in purchasing a boat that’s currently in or near West Michigan but you do not live in the area, I can be retained as your representative to inspect the boat and verify it’s been accurately advertised by the seller.

Once you are satisfied that the vessel is one you wish to purchase, I can also be retained to perform a complete marine Pre-purchase Survey if you wish.

I also provide Captain's service, delivery or relocation services, and boating lessons to be boaters or those who have moved up to a bigger boat. I love to teach people to drive and be more confident and safe on the water.
