In this post, we’ll walk you through what to expect when you bring your boat to Strong’s Marine for repair, maintenance, or upgrades—whether you run a rugged offshore fishing machine or a comfortable family cruiser.
In the sections below, we’ll clarify how different premium boats stack up in real-world use and what true, day-to-day care for your vessel looks like at our Long Island service centers. Honesty, quality workmanship, and long-term value guide everything we do—especially when you trust Strong’s Marine with your boat repair service in Suffolk County.
At Strong’s Marine, we have always had the conviction that a boat is not merely a hull and engine but a vessel for memories. Our experience in selling and servicing such high-end brands as Pursuit, Regal, Cobalt, Grady-White, and Cobia has taught us that a top boat consists of the very best in terms of performance, comfort, reliability, and craftsmanship combined.
Even the sturdiest vessels require maintenance, repairs, and sometimes even upgrades, regarding their operational performance. We are your partners throughout your boating journey, whether you’re heading offshore into bigger seas or simply enjoying a relaxed cruise in Long Island’s protected bays.
When you entrust your boat to Strong’s Marine, we do far more than fix what’s broken. Our extensive range of services encompasses mechanical boat service and repair, engine/diesel maintenance, winterization, spring commissioning, hull and fiberglass repair, and detailing.
Quality—and, when appropriate, restoration—are key priorities for us, especially when we’re caring for premium boats whose construction and craftsmanship made brands like Pursuit, Cobalt, Regal, Grady White and Cobia stand out.
Technicians Truly Expert and Certified and Who Grasp Premium Boats
The collective knowledge of our service advisors and technicians is over 30 years. We have been specifically trained for servicing high-end brands such as Pursuit, Boston Whaler, and others. A full understanding of the high-quality construction process enables us to work on every boat in the same manner.
We take care of everything, whether it is engine service, hull repair, winterization, storage, detailing, or electronics work. This implies that the management of several suppliers will no longer be an issue for you, nor will you have to deal with varying quality of work.
Continuously working with the purpose of your boat's highest potential being alive
We know the specs, hull-design strengths, and trade-offs of different brands. For hydrodynamic/finer-finish boats like Pursuit, we treat the craftsmanship and finish with the care they deserve. Our job is to preserve (or restore) what you love about your boat, whether that’s stability, fuel efficiency, comfort, or versatility.
Poor maintenance can quickly erode a boat’s performance and resale value. We believe in preventative care, meticulous repairs, and honest service, because in many cases, that saves you money in the long run while keeping your boating experience smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
While each boat and job is unique, based on our service history with all types of premium boats, here’s roughly what you might expect:
If you own a high-end fishing boat, offshore cruiser, family cruiser, or even a vessel used occasionally for leisure, we’re here for you.
At Strong’s Marine, we consider every boat an investment, not just in money, but in experiences.
Why Our Long Island Location Matters
We support boaters running in all kinds of conditions, from sheltered Long Island bays to more demanding offshore waters, so your vessel needs to be ready for whatever you ask of it. Whether you’re heading out to chase stripers at first light or enjoy a sunset cruise with family and friends, we make sure your boat is seaworthy, comfortable, and fully prepared for the day ahead. The location of our boat repair Long Island offers convenience, skilled service, and a team that understands very well what high-quality boats need.
In the end, having a boat is not only owning a boat but also living the life of freedom, adventure, and peace while enjoying the company on the water. Strong’s Marine standing by your side with your boat is like selecting a partner who takes care of all those things. We handle every boat with the same commitment we would have for our own. No matter if you want regular servicing or if you want major repairs, or cosmetic improvements, you can rely on us.
Come over with your boat, and we will assist you in finding out the reason why you got attracted to it in the first place.
That depends on what the boat needs. Minor work ,basic maintenance, small cosmetic fixes or detailing , often gets done within days to a week. More involved jobs such as hull/fiberglass repair or engine work may take several weeks. For major refurbishment or overhaul, the timeline will depend on scope and parts availability.
Boats that are premium generally consist of high-quality materials, specialized hardware, and complex systems with higher costs. We are treating every boat with the highest level of care; therefore, the price reflects not only the materials but also the craftsmanship needed in the process. Though maintenance done rightly now can prevent huge problems later on and, thus, save a lot over time.
We offer a full suite of services: mechanical repairs, engine/diesel service, drive maintenance, hull/fiberglass repair, detailing, upholstery, interior finish, storage, winterization, and more. Our goal is a comprehensive service so your boat is ready ,inside and out.
If you notice any of the following rough ride, unusual vibrations, water intrusion, wear in upholstery or finish, engine or drive irregularities, or just general signs of wear, that’s a good cue to schedule service. Regular preventative maintenance can catch issues before they become major problems, extending the life and performance of your boat.
It’s easy. Just reach out via our Service request page or give our team a call. We can arrange pickup/delivery, assess your boat's condition, provide a detailed estimate, and walk you through the timeline, giving you peace of mind before you even commit.
Contact us at Strong’s Marine and let our dedicated team handle the rest -for a safer, smoother, and more enjoyable boating season.
