Brian Dwight is the consummate boating professional. He is highly knowledgable about the boats he brokers and makes the buying/selling process very easy and uncomplicated. I look forward to working with him again and I highly recommend him and his firm.
Good supply of epoxy and paint for boat restoration/repairs. If they don’t have it in stock, can quickly order. Fair prices. I go there often
Jason, Buck and Bright were great in assisting me in finding my boat. great experience and I highly recommend.
Brian brokered the sale of my 2017 Sailfish 320 Express. Extremely knowledgeable and attentive and very thorough throughout the entire process. Although Brian had no skin in the purchase of my replacement boat - he was a helpful resource and had no issue with giving feedback and info through my purchase as well. Highly recommended.
Brian is a trustworthy, reliable broker. There was an issue with a boat we had paid to survey. Brian, the owner of SSDDM, felt awful about it and reimbursed us for the survey. He continued to try and find us a different boat. Would not hesitate to buy a boat from them in the future.
