Provided by SuperpagesBought a used boat from him and asked if it was in good working order. BrIan told me it was in good mechanical condition, he’d gone over the engines and jet pumps. He never told me boat had water leaks, called him after first hour we had it on lake... he told me he specifically told me I have to constantly run bilge pump. I told him before buying it we wanted to take it out and sit for hours with friends watching kids play...
Second trip starboard engine would keep running after 30 minutes. That ended up oil Fouled plugs. Easy fix but 1 hour limping along back to marina on one engine.
Third trip I put in water just to see where leaks were. One was port engine around mounting areas, then started it up and drove it out to find, 2 sprays just under heads of port engine. Couldn’t see area till got home and used a mirror.
Finally took to a mechanic here. He immediately found the 2 cracks on the cylinder heads, told me never seen that on a seadoo... unless they weren’t winterised properly! I haven’t had it until 2nd weekend of may. No freezing temperatures.
Finally running it for 30-45 minutes on that last trip (3rd trip). The starboard side lost drive... again had to limp back 1-1.5 hours back to marina to take it home... so at best I’ve driven it 4-6 hours tops.
The drive shaft and coupler were never greased and were bone dry this mechanic here showed me. So after Brian had gone through the engines, and jet pumps and was summer ready.... it wasn’t and now is not useable till 2-3k in repairs.

Very poor service. Gave me a verbal quote on repair work, when I picked my boat up it was almost double the price and he would only accept cash. Took me two days to get him to return my phone call before I could get my boat back.
Get a written quote.
Probably will try the new guy down the road from Jones Marine next time.

Provided by SuperpagesHorrible service. Would not return my phone calls. When I did get in touch was very rude. Would not recommend him.

I contacted Jones marine on a referral from a mechanic I trusted. My experience was incredible. They worked through the night to get my repairs for a big event I was hosting. They communicated clearly throughout the whole process. They followed up completely after. The work they did was extensive, but all of it was validated and they took the time to explain to me what was driving all of the work and how they broke down the costs. Excellent recommendation to these guys.

I took my boat to Brian Jones (Jones Marine) two times for the same problem. He charged me over $1300 and the boat never ran correctly.
I had to take my boat to another shop and the re-worked everything that Jone Marine touched.
DO NOT USE THIS GUY
BAD BUSINESS!!!!!!
