Miguel conducted our mechanical and out of water boat survey. He was thorough, quite detailed, knowledgeable about all boats and boating. He was proactive in providing safety and general boating tips. He stopped to explain everything and answered all of our questions in depth. I would highly recommend him.

First class work from M7. To me what makes them unique when compared to so many Seattle Marine outfits is the level of communication and flexibility. I would receive text messages as they arrived at the boat. Updates during the day with images in text. And email summaries of what work was completed and what was pending each day. That level of communication is very rare and gives you a real sense of confidence.
