Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair boats that were not bought at SouthTown?
Yes. Our Raleigh service center works on all major inboard, outboard, and stern-drive brands, not just the Supra, Moomba, and Sea Pro boats we sell.
How do repair estimates work?
We start with a diagnostic to confirm the fault, then provide a written estimate before any repair work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
How long does a typical repair take?
Turnaround depends on the fault and parts availability. Simple repairs are often back on the water within days; engine work that needs ordered parts takes longer, and we will give you a time frame with your estimate.
Do you handle fiberglass and gelcoat damage?
Yes, we repair hull scrapes, gelcoat chips, and fiberglass damage alongside mechanical and electrical work, so one visit covers it.
