- CGCynthia GrantAug 16, 20255.0Here’s a polished version of your positive review: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dave Moore at Northwood Boat Works did an outstanding job remanufacturing the raw water circulating pump for our 1978 27’ Tartan sailboat. The workmanship was excellent, the attention to detail was clear, and he delivered exactly what he promised. It’s hard to find that level of skill and reliability these days, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Highly recommend!
- BPbecky petersonJun 26, 20255.0Dave is “Master” of the Chris Craft World! We purchased a 1962 16 ft Chris Craft Ski Boat. Our boat needed some TLC and we found Dave-searching and hoping for the best place for Chris Craft repair/maintenance. We were not disappointed. Dave took on our project. He took copious notes on what he found, told us what he thought we should do, and then he got to work. We knew we were in good hands because we could see the passion Dave has for his craft. (His knowledge can not be challenged.) He covered every inch of the boat. When all was said and done; we were able to take the boat out on a nearby lake. Dave took us through the paces, showing us what he did and why, and how to “love” our boat in the future. He also tweaked our trailer so that the boat would have a safe journey home. We are now enjoying our boat on Lake Maxincuckee thanks to Dave.
- EFEd FairchildAug 12, 20215.0Dave is an amazing source for all things classic boat. His passion for early Chris Craft triple cockpits has been a tremendous help in our quest to complete the restoration of a 1926 26’ Chris Craft. His experience, knowledge, collection of resource materials and inventory of parts have been a key to the completion our work. If Dave does not have a needed item in stock, he either knows where to acquire it or has the ability to reproduce it. Every visit, either in person or by phone is an educational experience. As we near the end of this restoration, it is obvious to me that the quality and correctness of our work have been enhanced by the involvement of Northwoods Boatworks and the relationship that we have built with Dave.
