What we do

Every job starts with a real
conversation.

And ends with work you can trust — documented in your client portal with photos, itemized invoices, and straight answers.

01

Marine engine repair

Gas and diesel — bass boats to sportfishers. Outboards, inboards, I/O, fuel systems, cooling, electrical. Mobile repair at your slip, dock, or boatyard.

02

Engine diagnostics

Compression testing, fuel analysis, electronic fault tracing, scan tools. Systematic troubleshooting — not parts-cannon guessing. $150, credited when you hire us.

03

Marine electrical

Shore power, battery banks, panel diagnostics, charging circuits, wiring runs. Voltage-drop tested, not guessed.

04

Marine electronics

Fish finders, sonar, radar, GPS, nav systems — install, troubleshoot, repair. Trained on Navy AEGIS combat systems; pleasure-boat electronics are easy by comparison.

05

Winterization & commissioning

Proper winterization saves thousands in spring. Full drain done right — no slushed antifreeze, no cracked blocks. Commissioned back when the ice breaks.

06

Custom fabrication

Broadcast sets, CNC-carved art, structural steel, custom bars and millwork. If it can be built, we've built something harder.

07

Residential & skilled trades

Plumbing, electrical, drywall, appliance install, deck repair. The same precision we bring to a boat, brought to your home.

Who we are

A boutique crew built for the lake.

Wolfe, Hoover & Sons Engineering works on boats other shops won't touch. We come to your slip, your dock, your driveway — and we tell you what's wrong, what it costs, and how long it takes before we touch anything.

Navy-trainedAEGIS combat systems, SPY-1 radar at sea. If our crew kept billion-dollar cruisers operational at 0300 in heavy seas, your boat is in good hands.
Field-testedEngines diagnosed by sound. We rebuild what other shops give up on — slip-side, dock-side, on the hard.
Straight talkQuotes in writing. Photos before and after. Deposits collected, invoices itemized, everything documented in your portal.
