3A Marine Service - Hingham, Massachusetts

Joe Berkeley

As a lifelong sailor, I had never owned a powerboat. Most of my sailing friends who bought one usually found a great deal on a used powerboat which promptly caught on fire or sank. I thought I was going to follow in their footsteps when I discovered a vintage 1973 HiLiner Gypsy I quite liked that was for sale. It was designed by Ray Hunt! My wife had other plans. She loved the Robalo R222 and thought it would be wise to purchase a new boat with modern features such as a new Yamaha four stroke motor with warranty so I would not be out in the driveway sweating over and swearing at another project. We reviewed a lot of dealerships and a lot of boats. 3A Marine was the best. Jack White answered all of our questions and helped us decide which options were worth the money and which were not. To his credit, he dissuaded us from going with a larger motor as it wasn't necessary for our needs. We are very happy with the Robalo R222 hull, the Yamaha motor and the Tidewater trailer. Pat and John in service have been a pleasure to deal with and they do a good job taking care of our maintenance needs. During our most recent service, 3A replaced plugs, water pump, and thermostat with genuine Yamaha parts. Shots of the old parts included. A local lobsterman reviewed our boat and said, "It's just enough." On a scale of 1 to 10, my wife rates our Robalo at "about a 20, maybe a 30." I highly recommend 3A Marine as do a lot of other folks on the Robalo Owners Facebook group.

3a Marine is top of the line! I have been going to these guys for a few years now. Ended up buying a new boat from them in 2019 and the boat had some issues from the manufacturer (nothing to do with 3a). These guys took amazing care of me to make sure everything was right. They stand by their work. John and Pat in service will forever have my business.

I ended up messing up my engine cowling recently and they took it fixed at no cost. I really can’t say enough about these people.

The folks at 3A Marine are the best! From Jack in sales, to Pat and John in service, they're the most professional, experienced, and down-to-earth people. Rates are reasonable, and service is top notch!

3A Marine is top notch. I've been going to them for 8yrs and with 3 different boats from an array of work; engine maintenance, plumbing fix, electronics installs, steering adjustments, etc. John is always accommodating my requests and Pat has always been outstanding. I wouldn't take my business anywhere else, top notch outboard mechanics and technicians

Worst experience ever with a service dept. They couldn't find a problem the first time I left the boat/motor for warranty service and said I needed a water test to diagnose it. They made me wait for over a month then they canceled the day before I was supposed to bring it in for the water test. I lost the beginning of my season waiting and still had a motor that wasn't running right. Very low integrity. They didn't seem to care.

I bought a boat from these guys at the NE boat show a few months back. The process was really incredible. I worked with their service manager and Jack and really had a great experience. It's a small family run dealership and everything was honest and transparent. Would highly recommend.
