Chris and his crew have taken exceptional care of all of our boats for the past 6+ Years. Great attention to detail, professional, reliable and most of all- knowledgeable. Chris doesn’t cut any corners and it shows because our boats always make it back to the dock. Couldn’t be happier with Ravosa Marine Services. Highly recommended, A+++

I took my boat in for a bad power steering hydraulic issue. Dave was able to get it fixed up as well as put in a new bilge pump. Everything works great!

Excellent experience at Interstate Marine. Dennis is a honest, down to earth straight shooter. Dropped my rig off to have motor diagnosed, wouldn't start, like it had no fire. Had my boat back in less than 30 days. Reasonable pricing, good communication. Took it to the lake and had no issues. Highly recommend Interstate Marine. Thanks Dennis.

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
