This company, run by the charismatic Winston Turney - who is half Barbadian and half Dominican - has a very good reputation. Winston is so competent in his trade that he is called all the way from St.Martin or Antigua when needed. He can deal with any brand of outboards - 2 or 4 strokes - and of any power. He also works on jet engines and jet skis. Passionate about his job, he keeps updated on new technology, attending factory training regularly. He can also sell and source any outboard engine parts, as required.
