Legacy 28' refits & appreciation

While we strive to provide the best quality service that we can for each and every single customer, we are humbled and honored when a customer writes us to show their appreciation.  You'll see a testimonial below from the owner of a Legacy 28' that we did a few things on and then delivered her down to Florida.

"Scout", Legacy 28'

"You can't always build the new boat you want. Sometimes you have to refit an older one, which is what we did with Mathews Brothers. It just makes sense that a builder of great boats would have the range of capabilities to manage a project on any boat. In our case the project included Awlgrip, thru-hulls, varnish, new canvas and an electronics upgrade, all delivered on time and budget. Oh, and the delivery was made in Florida while we oversaw the project from Boston. We had complete faith in the team at Mathews Brothers and we couldn't be happier with the results."

Happy Thanksgiving!

This Holiday week finds us almost completely done shifting boats around from the hurricane and into their respective storage spaces for the winter.  If you've been following our blog you know that we always have a couple of other projects going.  The wooden cruiser that Pete has been working on is coming along very nicely - the new steering system is ready to be installed, the new windshield has been built & all is ready for varnish!  Another big project that we've been working on for some time is a Pearson 35' complete interior & exterior refit with extensive design changes.  The owner is here almost on a weekly basis making final decisions on placement and functionality of the final touches.

We have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving Season - and that Includes all of our Customers - we appreciate your Business & Loyalty!  We Sincerely hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Busy Busy Busy!

Here in the office, Annie and Pete have been busy with brokerage settlements as well as getting contracts signed for new deals!  We currently have contracts on 3 different boats with one of those settlements scheduled for tomorrow.  They had a settlement on the Cape Dory 28, Dreamtime, last week and another settlement already scheduled for next month!!  We have three MathewsBros Boats for sale currently - Who's ready for a NEW one?  FREE Maintenance for 2 years with the purchase of a NEW MathewsBros Boat!!

Outside, in the shop, and in storage the guys are busy preparing for winter between moving boats around into their respective storage spaces and/or winterizing all of the boats that we have for the winter.

Why Winterize your Boat?  

Winterizing your boat is an important preventive maintenance process which maintains the integrity of your engine, and any other kind of plumbing you may have aboard.  Winterization prevents damage from water expanding when frozen and also prevents corrosion from damaging anything else over the winter.

Dodgin Bullets & Boats

We sure did dodge a bullet from Sandy!  The most damage that was done to our properties was one of our ramps that go down to the floating pier at the Landing - Pete had to cut it off to prevent the floating dock from getting stuck under the stationary dock and causing havoc.  Meanwhile, the boats that were hauled were all put inside and stayed high and dry for the duration of the storm.  We know that we are very fortunate that the storm made landfall north of us and are very sorry about all of the damage that NY and NJ have experienced.
