Repowering: Oftentimes, half of the value of your boat is in the
engines. Boat hulls generally last longer than their engines and after 7-9 years
it’s often a practical choice to repower your boat with a new trouble-free and
fuel-efficient power plant.
Here are a few things to consider when making the
repower choice:
Today’s new diesel and direct injection engines are much cleaner and more fuel
efficient than their predecessors. 30% less fuel consumption can mean $875/year
in fuel savings for a typical 500 gallon boating season.
Gas or Diesel? New fuel-injected gasoline boat engines are basically truck and
SUV engines, marinized for marine use. If switching from gas to diesel, keep in
mind that you may be additional costs involved with replacing fuel handling,
shafts, struts, and propellers in addition to the engine.
See our Repowering Page for additional information.
Mechanical:

facility for both diesel and gas powerplants. Thier expert staff will do a
complete examination of your exising
engine and give you cost estimates of your options.

Restoration and Refinishing
There are many companies involved in boat restoration, but most of them
specialize in one aspect of the boat restoration process. At Gregory Boat
Company, we can
complete all phases of boat restoration at one location, allowing work to
progress on several portions of the boat at the same time. This allows the boat
to be finished in a more timely manner and in a the most efficient progression.
We specializes in boats from 38 to 60 feet in length. The price of a new
boat in this size category is typically from $225,000 to $1,800,000. Prices this
high prevent most people from enjoying the luxury and family recreation of a larger
boat. At Gregory Boat Company, we can bring a 38 foot double cabin to market for around
$100,000, which is what a new 30 foot boat of similar styling would cost.
Perhaps the best thing about boat restoration is the ability to customize the
boat to the customer's needs and desires. An inexpensive older boat can be
customized and modernized into a masterpiece that will serve its owner for many
years to come.
