South Shore Boats & Powersports

Oriellys’ person on Saturday night said it was open on Sunday. It isn’t. I am from 300 miles away and thought I had an emergency. I realized I don’t. I called their number hoping I could leave it at the shop. They didn’t answer. Missed my business.

They had a Backlog of Boats to fix but still took time to take my Motor for Repair. Great explanation of what was needed, very courteous and knowledgable. Dan and Patrick are Stellar! If you are in Tahoe this is the go to place!

Patrick Kelly and his staff here at South Shore Boats saved our family vacation! We rented a house on the Keys with a boat dock and after dropping my Cobalt in the Tahoe Keys Marina it took all of about 5 minutes for my impeller to blow out, this caused my engine to over heat, which caused my coolant to boil over. Bad day 🙄 I called every boat repair shop and mobile boat mechanic I could find but everyone was either not answering, or busy and booked solid for at least three weeks... and frankly most of the folks I spoke with at other shops were rude. My friends and family were just sitting at the house waiting for me to arrive with my boat to take them out for a weekend on the lake. I thought I was destined to rent a boat and store mine on the trailer for the weekend. Was losing hope... I was at the point of asking random people at the marina if they could help me get an impeller and put iit in. Then randomly, I met Patrick Kelly, owner of South Shore Boats, who happened to be dropping his boat in at the same marina. I asked him if he could help us and he asked me to drive my boat to his shop and he'd meet me there. About an hour later, he and his staff had me up and running again. My friends and family are forever grateful for Patrick and his kind spirit. He could have been just like all the other shop owners and blown me off, but he didn't. He knew he could help out another boater and he took some time to do it. Good man here. 👍

Patrick and the crew are the guys!!! I had 3 different macanics look at my boat for an electrical problem, within 5 minutes Patrick had my boat diagnosed, he came out to the boat dock and got the boat running. My boat took on a lot of water and caused a lot of other damages. Patrick drove with me back to the loading dock with his tools in hand just in case we ran into more trouble, no other problems on the way back, but comforting to have him on board. We brought the boat to his shop where he had all the parts in stock. Patrick and his people is the only to take your boat in Tahoe!!!

I was visiting from out of town, during the starting of the summer season where I felt my starter had filled. These guys seem to stop what there doing and within a day had the starter up and going and were available during the day on the water via phone to support some other troubleshooting issues I had. They were polite, respectful and knowledgeable. 2003 Sanger Terry
