So I needed a ground strap for my Yamaha 20 horse, my local boat shops could have it here in a few weeks, I called Island and they said come down, I'm horrible with names but the owner's son came up with a perfectly good used one and wouldn't take any money for it, he told me to tell my friends, but all my friends already know about them so I figured I best tell the people I don't see at the ramp. I live in Vancouver and drive an hour to Island marine, and they have never let me down. They replaced an output shaft when I drove through the rocks, and they found me parts when I felt comfortable doing the work myself. These guys are great and worth any amount of driving.

Jerry and his son RJ have been working on my boats since 1997. Jerry has always gone above the call of duty to make sure I was happy with his work. Always making sure to fit my needs and cell the cost more than fair.

I bought a 200hp Mercury 2 stroke off of them. They install it for me and all for a good price. At first I had problems with the motor but call them right up and they took it in to check it out and they did what they had to do and fix it for me I never went back because they fix the problem and haven’t had a problem ever since. Would drive the 4 hrs to them again for honest work.

We were recommended these folks by multiple people in our area. They replaced an outboard with a rebuilt Yamaha, and so far everything is running great. These guys are knowledgeable, friendly, and expedient. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the market for marine repair!

This place is awesome. I tracked down a boat that was very special to me and my family. Unfortunately that meant it was also very old. After several calls around I found these guys who were the only ones who would even talk to me and offered any tips and solutions for what I had. Ended up getting every part I was looking for at great prices. Super knowledgeable, very friendly, great parts stock. #1 go to for my boating needs

Let me just start off and just say I’ve been looking for someone to look at my Yami 150 2 stroke for months and nobody seemed interested and rude on the phone. My last desperate call was to Island Marine. They were super friendly and professional over the phone and talked me through ideas and possible issues in case I wanted to fix it myself. My drop off was smooth and run a very clean shop! I was super impressed! I just dropped my boat off and already felt I needed to type a review!

I recently was looking for a new motor to put on my Arima. The Deer Island Team explained few options and the pros & cons for each. Once I decided they gave me an awesome deal on a new Yamaha 115. Definitely plan to keep them in mind for all my boating needs!

Personally i had a Great experience buying a used motor. Most importantly, they are upfront and honost. I wasn't forgotten about after I made the purchase. They are quick to respond with Any questions or concerns getting it installed. They tried to save me money not take my money. They will take care of you!

I drove 1 1/2 hrs too island marine from Portland to purchase a new gear case for my outboard after being told from another shop they could not fix my case they said it was no good the men at island marine took my gear case and completely rebuilt it the same one that I was told was no good. The customer service is so over the top. I was told it would take a week to get it back I was not even back home from dropping my part off when my phone ring I thought oh man what know and the man on the other line said your case is done you can come pick it up. That man heard me tell is father that I took the day off work to bring my part too them so he took it opon his self to get it done that same day. Now that is customer appreciation and I appreciate them so much i am a customer for life thanks guys

The team at Island Marine Salvage did exceptional work in my dad and I’s Tiderunner. They installed a Yamaha 115 within a couple of days, and were very helpful. I highly recommend them for any of your marine and outboard needs.

So far so good, picked up a used 60hp mercury and couldn’t be happier. They were spot on with their time estimate, price estimate, and came right out to help me with a small issue I found when picking up the boat. All work looked neat and done well. Great people and glad I made the hour drive to them. Motor rips on my little lund.

I've been taking my boat here for years. I'm lucky to have them in my neighborhood! But if that's not the case for you, trust me, it's worth the trip. They spend every winter just rebuilding all kinds of outboards, so they know and understand what it takes to remedy whatever is keeping you off the water. This time I needed hydraulic steering added to my boat. They didn't recommend the least expensive one either, but I'm super happy with installation and performance of the new addition. Routine and preventing maintenance are also a specialty of this shop. Give them a call.

These guys are the best. Tye is an incredibly good engine mechanic. Outboard motor whisperer. Worth the drive. Hard to find a skilled,honest,fair place like this. They sell used all types and new Yamaha. Check it out.

I took an old 7.5 hp mercury that was broken and parts were no longer available. Ty was very helpful and had a part to repair it. He even installed a new lump impeller and changed the oil in the out drive. I highly recommend them.

Gerry bought & took off my old 92 mercury jet, him & his crew put on a 2020 Yamaha F70 & saved me thousands compared to what my local dealership quoted me for. Professional service, crew is knowledgeable & the job was done within a very reasonable timeframe. I recommend their services.

Island marine is definitely a great place to have your boat worked on! They do excellent work with a very knowledgeable pro staff with over 30 years experience. They have excellent customer service and stand behind their work, I would definitely recommend island marine for all your boat problems!

Great group of experienced and knowledgeable guys. They do great work and stand behind the work they do. My husband Tom and I have and will continue to refer these guys to anyone needing anything to do with boats from motors to repairs and parts.

Good group of guys out there at island marine! I purchased a used T8 from them about a month ago and when I made the purchase they told me if there is any issues to let them know. These guys fixed any issue I found on the engine and made it run like new again at no charge for that! Will gladly recommend these fellas to anyone needing anything boat related that they may be able to help with!

Within the last year, I’ve had my 24ft cuddy to several different shops/mechanics. One shop was from Vancouver, two were from Longview WA. None of the them were able to correct the issues with the boat. In fact, one of the Longview shop’s repairs almost caused major damage to my motor. Then I learned about Deer Island. They had my boat for just over a week. They explained all the repairs and costs. The repair bill was MORE than fair. Now the boat runs better than ever, she's like a"Lincoln" in the water. Thanks guys! Honestly, I could have saved thousands of dollars had I just gone to Deer Island first instead of the boat shops in Longview. The drive is well worth the quality work and savings. Great staff too. I'm a real guy, with a real boat slipped at Willow Grove Marina.

Went in to ask a question and ended up purchasing one of their previous owned outboard's. Super knowledgeable staff and down to earth. Great customer service, had one minor issue when I put the boat back in the water, they told me to bring it back and they fixed it within 10 min. Motor runs like a champ! I've been spreading the word! Super stoked!

You guys ROCK! In the middle of summer you turned my motor around in lightning speed and I cannot be grateful enough--ON TOP OF THAT you were very professional, extremely friendly--super clean shop, AND you charged me a minimum to work on my motor! YOU EVEN SENT me a new cable-lock at your own expense when my couldn't be found! AMAZING service and pride in your work. I haven't experienced this type of service since -- well ever! Thanks Guys!

Owner and employees are wonderful people! They replaced my motor with this honda 90, and they explained everything in detail for work being done and they would make double sure everything was 100% correct and running right before I brought it home. I'm more then satisfied with the work that was done and my family couldn't be any happier! Thanks guys!

Guys are very humerous and friendly. They are also as real as they can be, they tell you how it is and what needs to be done.They didn't let my dad leave the main office without making sure that our new optimax was in running condition and told him what to do to help keep the motor in excellent condition. Besides the exhausting ride from Spokane, this was one hell of an experience! If you go there, make Gerry happy 😂

I discover a freeze cracked head with my 2013 Yamaha F200XB and take it to Island. Tyler gave me a competitive price to fix it, but with about 1500 hours and my use offshore (50-60 miles) i decided to explore a new motor instead. I got a fantastic deal on the new motor, and they had it on and ready 2 days after my initial call for an appointment. I called other places and they could not even look at it for 2 weeks. After I picked it up, it only had one minor issue, the tilt/trim gauge would only work under 2000RPM's. They were very proactive in making me totally happy. In fact they even offered to give me my money back and put the old motor back on. They told me too bring it back and within 24 hours it was fixed. A minor adjustment. I would recommend these guys for two main reasons. They offer fair pricing and they have Yamaha certified techs who do fantastic quality work.

I had them pull a center console and put a tiller handle on a vmax hpdi. They added a friction bar with used parts to keep the price down. I also had them move all electrical, tach, switch panel, fuel gauge, and depth finders from console to the rear side panel. They moved the battery forward, added a switch and also moved the oil reservoir to where the battery was located. The install was very professional and clean. I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be back for service or more custom work. I thought the price was fair as well.

I'd give 7 stars if I could. The guys are super easy to deal with. After calling a number of other dealers and searching craigslist for months, I found the older yamaha 30hp Id been looking for. Once I got the go ahead to buy it, called them up and headed that way. They stayed late to ensure I could see the motor running and ran through all the functioned in their really cool outboard tank. They hooked me up with nearly every last little piece needed to install it on my little Whaler clone including cables, fuel fitting and drag link for steering. The sale was low pressure, the guys were extremely knowledgeable and the facility was far nicer than I had imagined prior to arriving. They have a well stocked store as well with a number of little and large things that boaters may need. In the end, thanks to these folks, I had the perfect motor on the boat that functioned flawlessly for a very reasonable price.
