I bought a 1955 Century Coronado about 20 years ago and Gary restored it to better than new. When you deal with Gary there is only one way, the right way, no short cuts.

Gary and his team were fantastic with the fiberglass repair on my boat. From the estimate to the completion on time and you cant even tell where the repair was made. Like brand new. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of boat fiberglass repair!

I searched for quite awhile to find a craftsman like Gary to restore my 1957 Chris Craft Holiday to its former glory. The boat needed a complete bottom, top, and a few side planks. The boat also needed new wiring, gauges, and engine work. The restoration was extensive and Gary and his staff did a remarkable job. When his restoration work was completed, he continued to work with me to find an upholsterer and a trailer that could be custom retrofitted to the boat. Throughout the process, he kept me apprised of the progress and sent me photos. The boat is beautiful; and I just finished taking it on the ACBS Delta Cruise this last weekend. It ran like a champ. Thank you for bringing this piece of history back to life.

Wow ! Gary did a great job. A piece of metal at the dock gouged through the jell coat and into the fiberglass. Enough to make a bass fisherman cry... but Classic Craft came to the rescue. In and out fully repaired in just a couple days. The cost was less than if I had to buy the materials myself. It was 3 colors of gel coat with gold flake in the black and gold. Theyre the best.

Gary was awesome and a complete professional, he is a master at his craft! I had him do gelcoat repairs to the hull of my boat. I am extremely happy with his work and service!Ray Tadena

They did an amazing job. The previous owner on my boat did a terrible job on repairing a large area that was damaged. The wonderful people at Classic Craft fixed everything and matched a 20+ year old boat hull so well that I cant even tell where the damage was previously. I will be going back if other problems arise.Price wise they are very fair and didnt have any hidden fees or surprises that some shops will claim. Its good to find a business with integrity.

Gary did a great job of getting me in and out with spot repair for a chip in blue metal flake. Metal flake is hard to get right and he did a fantastic job! I have used Gary many times before and have always been extremely satisfied. I highly recommend Classic Craft.

I have taken three of my boats over the last year to Gary, I genuinely couldnt be more pleased with the work he has done. He has done all kinds of work ranging from gelcoat matching, replacing a rotten floor, and installing new gas tanks. Also his match work on large gouges and holes on the underside was done perfectly, looks like factory brand new. I couldnt recommend him more highly to all of my friends especially in the Keaton Boat group!

This is a story of night and day. Night began when my fiberglass duck boat arrived from Defiance, Missouri with some minor damage, and I reached out to a local shop here in Dixon. I quickly realized my mistake after being told that the repair would cost more than the value of the boat. I decided to get a second opinion, and this is when day began to break.I called Classic Craft, and Gary answered. Gary is a person of high integrity. He is professional, courteous, honest, humble, responsive, and funny. My little duck boat repair was not much of a challenge, and there was little margin as the repair took hours not days; however, I was treated as a priority. Phone calls were returned promptly during the estimation, drop-off, and pickup events, and the work was performed quickly, and to the highest quality. The repair is guaranteed for life. I am looking forward to enjoying many sunrises in my duck boat this fall.

These guys are artists! The bow of my fiberglass boat was bouncing up and down on a heavy steel cleat at the marina for days, maybe a week. (teenagers!) The damage was ugly. I took a bunch of photographs and went to several different repair shops. The estimates were all over the place. And the turnaround time was anywhere from 2 days (Classic Craft) to 2 weeks. I took the boat to Classic Craft and 2 days later the boat looks brand new. And his price was by far the most reasonable. I would surely recommend Gary and his crew at Classic Craft to all of my boating friends.

Classic Craft did an outstanding job fixing a gel coat repair on the bow of my Parker. Gary not only fixed the problem but was able to diagnosis why it happened in the first place (defect in manufacturing) and make the repair in 1 DAY. I highly recommend Classic Craft for any fiberglass repair big or small!!!!

Gary and his team did incredible work. These guys really know fiberglass repair, theyre the only guys I trust in Sacramento. Their estimate came in at half the cost of all other shops and completed the work with no delays and on budget. Definitely worth the wait to get my boat into them.

Classic Craft has restored my 1961 Century Sabre twice in the last 16 years. They were great to work with and did an amazing job both times. I would highly recommend them for any and all boat repairs no matter what kind of boat you have. Gary and Frank are the best!!

Im in the service business and I can tell you Gary is a true professional. From the very first time I e-mailed a picture of the damage on my boat to when I picked it up after the repairs, everything was on the money. The boat looks amazing. He also went out of his way to find a matching piece of rub rail that saved me a bunch of money. Thanks Gary! Im very happy.

Gary and Classic Craft are wonderful to deal with and do an amazing job on everything they touch! I own a Marine dealership and whenever I need gel coat work I call Gary. He just fixed a Nautique that is impossible to color match and you could not see where the damage was. Truly a master at his craft. I also refer other gel coat customers to him because I know they will be taken care of and will get quality work. Thanks, for all that you do!

I want thank Gary Mimmis at Classic Craft for his many decades of boat repair and expertise. He not only repaired my boat a few months ago from an accident, he did a spot gel coat and finish on two trailer bumper marks in less than 24 hours.Highly recommened.

Gary, who owns Sacramento Boat Repair is simply amazing. This was my second time working with Gary. The work quality, cost and the level of customer service is unparalleled. In May 2018, I decided sell my 1955 21ft Cris Craft Capris (the one with The largest V8 made). I also wanted to get it on the market in time for the 2018 selling season In Lake Tahoe, which is June. My Boat needed a full re-varnish and fresh bottom paint to give it that look you cant pass up when you see it in showroom. Your thinking, Ha, good luck with that! Well he did all that and made it look even better than it ever has looked. He also coordinated the move from Tahoe to his shop and back to Tahoe. All for about $5,000! It is now for sale at Sierra boat in What more could you want?

Classic Craft are simple the very best repair shop ever. I took my 2000 Monterey into them with the Port side needing some major work on it. Not only did my boat look better. It was done in a very timely matter. He told me 3 weeks for the repair. I had it completed in two weeks. I cannot tell were the damaged even happened. Gary Minnis is a true craftsman and his work is second to none. I promise you that you will be pleased with his work completely. I can never thank him enough for the great job. He make art work of the repairs he does.Bill

Labor Day weekend I hit a submerged bolder on Shaver Lake with our 1996 Malibu Response. The damage was significant and I needed a seasoned expert to make the repairs. In searching the web I found Classic Crafts web site with photos of the exact damage I had sustained. I contacted Gary and he got me right in. Not only did he have the experience I was looking for but he also knew my insurance carrier and the Surveyor assigned to inspect the damage. The Surveyor agreed completely with Garys estimate and work started with no fuss no mus.When repairs were completed the boat looked brand new. We found some hidden damage and Gary got right on that without hesitation.I couldnt have found a better shop to make our repairs.
