Piper's Boat Service

Brad has been working on my Boston Whaler for years and has always done a great job with both minor and major issues. Highly recommend him for all your boat repair needs

Brad Piper did a terrific job tuning up my boat, motor and trailer. He's an expert at what he does. I'm also happy about the new bimini he installed. If you're looking for someone who knows his stuff and is honest to the bone, I highly recommend Brad.

Duck hunting below zero and my outboard runs better than ever. I had Piper remove the oil injection system. Premix the fuel with snowmobile oil. No more clouds of smoke when I fire her up in the cold mornings. Seems to have more power now the fuel to oil ratio is correct. Thanks.

Helped me out big time this summer. I was in a Bass tournament the summer. My bass boat would not start up the 2nd day. Could not hear the fuel pump come on when I turned the key. I called every where around Lake Champlain, told them all what was going on. None of them could look at my boat for at least two weeks. I reached out a little further, got a hold of Piper's Repairs. Said to bring it right in. Pulled into his yard,he came out and within 5 mins had it fixed. It was a bad relay for the fuel pump. He installed a new one, and it flamed right up. I was very happy. Five Stars. Gave him a huge tip. Thanks again, Brent.

You did not even do what you said you did I took it to another shop took him three hours to fix your stuff and he has it running and I am out 250.00 Dollars. No the boat people said you never fixed the carburetor problem they had to replace all the stuff in the carburetor and the kit is only 45.00 not a 125.00 dollars. And he said you did not hook everything back up you left it undone and you still had gas leaking out of the carburetor. Lesson learned I will not come to you ever. I serve are country and this is how you treat military people and there families you rip people off. You over charged for the parts that did no good .

I brought an older Mercury 2.2 hp outboard to Piper's because it would not start when it was on the water. It would start at home and run a little. Brad said that the carb had damage and needed to be replaced. It took a very long time to get a replacement carb, or whatever was ordered, as he mentioned that he had to make one carb from two. After five weeks, I picked up my motor. A week later, I went to test the motor on Lake Elmore, and it failed to run for more than a few seconds. After a few tries, it then refused to start at all. When stowing the motor for travel back home it leaked gasoline through the carb badly. I examine the carb at home, to fix it myself, and this is what I found: 1) Brad said he had replaced the fuel line and filter, which is true, but there were no clamps on the hose. It was loose on the nozzle that feeds gas into the carburetor float bowl. THe hose WAS tight on. The tank and filter, so perhaps it's not usually needed for clamps. However, I could tell there was air bleeding into the line at the carb (beyond the bowl back bleed) and fuel leaking out of the line and throat of the carb when tilted. 2) The nozzle that feeds gas into the carburetor float bowl was loose and turned freely 3) the cap at the top of the carboretor that the throttle lever and choke lever was attached to was loose and turned freely. 4) Opening the float bowl, the arms of the float pin lever, or whatever it is called were uneven, and the float was not adjusted properly (1/16" above the rim of the body according to the Internet). While I am not a professional mechanic, I have rebuild carbs at least a couple of times. I have to say that the work done on mine was not complete. After adding hose clamps, tightening the loose items, adjusting the float and testing the motor, I went back to the lake and I was able to get it to run continuously for about 20 minutes before it mysteriously stopped. After letting the motor set tilted up for a little while, about 15 minutes, it ran again as before. So, I am dissatisfied with the quality of work done, the length of time it took to have the motor repaired and the fact that it didn't run very well when I retrieved it. That being said, Brad DID say I could bring it back if I had any issues, but it being the weekend, I decided to fix it myself. Piper's has been here at least as long as I have lived in Morrisville, about 10-12 years, so the fact that his business continues to operate is an indication that he has at least some satisfied customers. As well, i freely admit that my motor was in bad condition when brought to him, and that parts, especially carburetor bodies, are very hard to find. And, he probably could tell I was impatient to get the motor back. The fact that the motor stopped even after I "fixed" the carb shows that it may just be a finicky motor. Still, there being several serious mistakes on the carb, specifically loose parts, and potentially dangerous fuel leaks, I don't think I will go back there again. I've tried to be fair and accurate in my review, I look forward to the owner's response. Steve

Had our ski boat in his shop this July. Did a great job getting our family back on our skis before the 4th. Once again, Thanks Piper.

Always have had good luck with Piper's. Been bringing my boats to his repair shop for 20 some years now.

Dropped our pontoon off to be closed for the winter and have it stored for the season, easy drop off and puck up.
