Wayne Grice - Owner, Operator |
Wayne built his first wooden boat by hand at 15 and began his career at Lakeside Marine on Hope Mills Lake shortly after high school.
With the support and urging of his friends and family, Wayne opened the doors of his own shop, Wayne's Boat & Motor Repair, in 1987 in a 3 bay garage in his back yard. Within 5 years the business had expanded and the need for more space led him to build a new shop that could house larger builds. He built the shop you see today in 1992 and has been in that same location for the past 33 years. Wayne brings 40+ years of knowledge and experience with him when working on your boat, and is capable of a wide range of repair or maintenance. He has extensive knowledge of all aspects of repair, experience with fiberglass, and works on inboard/outboard motors as well as diesel engines. He has built 5 custom cold mold hull sportfisher boats in his lifetime, with sizes ranging from 21 feet to 43 feet. On the weekends you can find Wayne fishing, helping out his friends, and spending time with his loving wife and daughter. |
