DO NOT USE PROGRESSIVE MARINE ST PETERSBURG COST THREE TIMES OVER ESTIMATE.After receiving 2 estimates for approximately the same cost from two marine services, I brought my 42 Endeavour into PROGRESSIVE MARINE SERVICES for a repower project (remove old and put in new marine engine). Labor cost was estimated by both marine services at $4,900 (50 man hours). In the end the total labor cost to completed was $15,000 (150 man hours) $10,000 over estimate. On August 16th the boat arrived under power at Progressive. Work began immediately to disassemble the old and remove the old engine. On August 24th I paid $20,000 toward purchase of the new engine. The new engine arrived on site September 21st. What should have taken 2-3 weeks, took 12 weeks from the time the new engine arrived on site, until November 11th. Half way through, with the old engine removed, they refused to provide timely invoices with incremental cost. Mid project they demanded a $7,500 cash payment by end of day. When that was delayed they demanded $13,443.75 cash payment, and yet the new engine was still not installed. They stopped work and threatened to charge layup fees for any day when cash payment was not made. Even after that they refused to provide cost to complete when demanded. In the end they demanded an additional $7,142.07 cash payment to complete the repower before the boat would be launched. They refused to launch and perform sea trial before final cash payment. Overage Examples: 1) 9 hours billed to drain and wash the 55 gal bilge. 2) 59 man hours billed to dissemble old engine and remove from boat, the easy half, when the total labor estimate was 50 hours. Total estimate was $ 23,939 plus tax, final cost $37,930 plus tax
