I wouldn't buy a boat paddle from this place. When I lived in Austin, TX I had an older jetboat and dealt with him off an on several years for parts. Every part I bought from him was crap and had to be returned. When I tried to return the parts they would not give me a full refund, they would charge me a re-stock fee or give me store credit. I bought two boats from him & had numerous problems of one sort or another before I could get either of them on the water. Boat #1 - I waited three weeks for the title and never got it s... read more
Awesome salvage yard – If your looking for used parts this is the spot, I have never had them work on anything of mine i do all my own work ........ But if you dont wont to pay a butt load of money for what you wont .......this is the place....
Captain Mac's- What a Place! – I've been to Captain Macks a couple of times. My impression is it is primarily a salvage yard. Capt mack is a very nice guy. For the people that had a bad experience, do you take your car to a salvage yard to have it fixed>? No you dont. If i need any parts at all, I will visit the Captain. The place is amazing.
Capt Mac, just good people doing Dirty Jobs – I needed a part to fix my old boat motor (69 Evinrude 85 hp). I searched every online store and local 'Boat Salvage' I could find. Captain Mac's Had it. If you are the type of person that has been around a salvage yard, and or people that work them, you will appreciate their abilaty to track every little nut, bolt, part, engine, in their entire yard. And they will know a thing or two about most everything they have. So treat them respectfully and curtious and youwill find they wi... read more
Find another repair shop – Ok, so I feel stupid for going to this place more than a few times. I've had bad luck with boat mechanics in the past and this just added to my misery, but it's very hard to find people that work on the old stuff anymore, so I kept going back. In all respect this place was probably a great place at one time, it's been around probably since the 70's, but I think it's gone way down hill since. Things that you will find out quickly are: they don't give you a time estimate that's ever close. They may s... read more
Friendly folks, but poor quality technicians – I took my boat to Captain Ma'cs for routine maintenance. They did the job very promptly. However, they mechanics did the work so poorly that caused other problems on my boat, costing a lot extra repairs. I asked around and found out their machanic turn over rate is extremely high. They are not certified and don't get treated well. I enjoyed talking to the friendly folks there. Regrettably, I won't be taking my boat back for service.
Stay Clear of Captain Mac's! – We took our boat in for repair and they had it for 5 weeks. On many, many occasions they said it would be ready and that they would call us back, but they never called back. When we would finally reach them, they would tell us there was yet another problem they found and that it wouldn't be ready until the next day or week, and then it would start all over again. This went on for 5 weeks! We finally told them we are coming to pick it up whether it's ready or not and will have it fixed else wher... read more
Captain Mac gets the job done – Captain Mac's Marine has a large selection of used boats and 'fixer upers' to choose from as well as jet skis, and other aquatic recreation gear. This is definitely a used boat store so don't expect anything fancy, but there is a LOT of selection. Acres of it. They do repairs and sell certain parts for boats as well. The staff there is a little bit country, a little bit 'old Austin'...even if a bit grungy, but on the whole, honest and helpful. They have been around for a long time and have a l... read more
Rude and Crass Customer Service! – Okay, so we had this old boat that we didn't want anymore. It needed a lot of repair work. When asking where we could take it to drop it off, we were told to go to Captain Mac's. Well, we took it by there in August and it was HORRIBLE customer service from the moment we walked in the door. A very gruff gentlemen talked with us. When we told them we heard that they sometimes pay people for the parts, he said "let's go take a look...". When we got out there he said our boat was a "*$%#ing pie... read more
