For independent marine repair shops and boatyards on Florida’s Gulf Coast
Pick one job. We pay until five real calls reach your phone.
Outboard service, glass and gelcoat, bottom paint, rewires, storage. We pay for the ads, up to $600 or 30 days. You hear every call, then you decide.
Our founder grew a marketing agency to 250+ diesel repair shops. We’ve done no marine shops yet. That’s why we’re paying.
See what it costs Got our letter? Here’s what the Board is → Run a yard with a travel lift? →
I built Dieselmatic, a marketing agency for diesel and heavy-duty truck repair shops. I grew it to 250+ shops. I’ve never done a boat shop. You’d find that out anyway, so I’d rather say it first.
Who Nick is, and where he works from →- You pick one job. Whatever you’d take five more of.
- We build the ad and the page. You approve both before anything runs.
- We pay for the ads until five real calls for that job reach your phone, up to $600 of our money or 30 days.
- You hear every call, then decide. Carry on at the published price, or walk away owing nothing.
It’s our money, so we’re doing it for six shops. Name the month you want your ads to go live, any time up to May 31, 2027.

Busy isn’t the problem. The wrong work is.
Booked out in season, slow after. Short a tech. Price shoppers on the phone. Burned by an agency before. So the five calls go to one job you choose, and you check us instead of trusting us.
The job
You pick the job. We go after that and nothing else.
A yard with a travel lift wants different work from a five-tech outboard shop. These are examples, not a menu. For boatyards.
Photos are illustrative. They are not client shops.
- 01
Outboard service
Service, lower units and rigging, booked ahead of the season instead of all at once.

Bottom jobs
Haul-out, bottom paint and running gear, booked ahead so the yard isn’t slammed one month and empty the next.

How we count a real call →It’s yours if you leave
The ad accounts are in your shop’s name. Leave, and we hand over everything we built within 10 business days.
What’s yours if you leave →Finn is an AI. Nick picks up.
Finn always says it’s an AI. Anything touching your money goes to Nick first.

Straight answers.
What’s the catch?
We’re new to marine and need to prove this works here, so we’re paying to find out. The limits: we stop at $600 of ad spend or 30 days, whichever comes first, and we’re doing it for six shops. At the end we ask for ten minutes, and if you’re happy, permission to share your numbers without your name. Then you carry on at the published price or walk away owing nothing.
Have you done this for a marine shop before?
No. Nick grew a marketing agency to 250+ diesel and heavy-duty truck repair shops. He has done no marine shops yet. That’s the reason the first five calls are on us.
Is there a contract?
No minimum term. It’s month to month with 30 days’ notice, and the Five-Call Start comes first, so you hear real calls before you pay anything.
Where are you based, and why a 604 number?
Nick works from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. 604 is a British Columbia area code. Florida is three hours ahead of him. Call or text any time. If Nick misses you, he calls back within one business day.
Will you run ads for the shop down the road?
Not for the same job. During the pilots we take one shop per job per county. If you pick bottom paint in Pinellas, we won’t run bottom paint for another Pinellas shop while the pilots run.
Ten minutes with Nick about one job.
Tell him the job you’d take five more of. He’ll tell you what he’d run for it and whether a spot fits your shop. Call or text any time. If Nick misses you, he calls back within one business day.
I’m Finn, an AI. Nick is the person behind this, and his number is (604) 378-2571 if you’d rather talk to him.
One question so I don’t waste your time: what’s the one job you wish you had more of?
