That thanks to our veterans was a class act. Earned my subscription! #supportourtroops

Owning and running a business is such a tough thing to do. Kudos to you Andy for making a success out of yourself.

America is still the land of opportunity for those who are willing to work

Been waiting for this one! Great to hear your story Andy!

You must love employees named after bad bad hurricanes. Katrina and mason rolled through these videos just like the hurricane’s! Lol

I've been going through the exact same thing . I can't find any young guy that is interested in paying their dues and are worth the trouble and time it takes to train them. It takes a person that wants to be a boat mechanic and nothing else. It is a piecemeal industry on it's best day and can be so frustrating but I love it. I'm just tired and ready to slow down and prepare to hand it off to the next generation. My kids have zero interest in it.

As a self-made business man myself I've never heard such a honest and heart felt portrayal of a man's struggle to build his business the honest American way,hat's off to you Andy.

I’m here in Australia love watching your movies on a Saturday every week. Keep up the awesome work guys cheers.

It was watching your videos that gave me a reason to bring my boat to your shop. After moving in the Lax area from the Madison area I knew one guy in the area that runs a Skeeter and tournament fishes alot. I asked him what is the best shop around here. His response was no good shops and to go to Chippewafalls. I gave Power House a shot on a new boat and got ripped off huge!! I bought a used boat up north and had issues right away. I even changed the water pump myself and I am confident in my work. But it was not pumping like it should. Brought it to Team Marine. Dropped it off. Got a call that day. It was done!! Neil ran a higher pressure flush and cleared out what ever was blocking the water intakes. And did not charge me. I met you (Andy) when I picked up the boat and Andy said yup it was simple so no charge. Well as long as I am living in the area Team Marine will have a life long customer. It's been a few years and no issues with my boat but when there is (and there will be...it's a boat) you will see me again.

Best show you have done. Thank you!

completely understand 20 years in automotive world. hate cars now but boats are my hobby now. I like how real this guy is dont kiss ass just tells it how it is.

Hell of a guy hell of a story ! Awesome vid man !

Andy, this is from one business owner to you. I really appreciate you for opening up with your thoughts as i saw myself to this day. I really cried inside because of you being me and me being you. Family first, take care of your employees ( which i can tell you do) and both family and employees will take care of you. Believe man, believe. Ive never met you except for the last 18 months i been following you daily.... but believe in what you're doing and i give you my two thumbs up 👍 😉

Well done mate! I completely get where your coming from on this one all the way from Queensland Australia!

ANDY , fascinating story and i appreciate your respect for your employees and they you awesome

Good stuff. Brother ! And familiar. I'm a career truck driver. I drove my first 11 years for someone else, learning everything I could, pushing myself to keep up with the top 5 driver's of the company, doin the best I could for the owner (my first customer) taking the best care i could of his customers. Then I decided to buy my own truck and leased it on with him. then 9/11 happened and he went out of business and i took my truck out west and the rest was a repeat of the beginning, my second customer was my employer and that was how I always treated my company, taking care of his customers was top priority. They don't teach that stuff anymore, but it's the key to success.......... thanks for sharing this, you're my kinda people. I'm glad to have found you in my retirement, ❤👍✌️. Keep doing what your doing.

As a veteran, I appreciate the thanks! Thank you for being authentic. Time for Team Marine Honeymoon - Where are you taking your wife?

Cool story, you gotta stay and do this longer! We need you!,,

You guys keep it real and honest, so much of stuff turns into an ad or a channel to make money by having people taking money. The part that stick out the most to me is on that goofy BRP outboard that is half underwater. It was stupid and you called it as such!

The grind never stops!

Great video and story. I wish your shop was closer to my home.

Very cool story! Glad to learn what makes Andy tick. Love the channel, keep the videos coming!

Right On

Your reaching the world not just the US. I'm in England and a subscriber

Andy, I'm retired, widowed and spend a lot of time on you tube, you are my favorite you tube site because you are hard working, honest and entertaining.Enjoyed listening to your story of having a successful business thru sacrifice and hard work.I have bass fished on the club level since 1982 in Florida and have owned several bass boats and motors thru the years and have experenced all the problems you can imagine. Wish your were nearby since all we seem to have around here are inept morons to work on our stuff. Keep up the good work and bless your family and all the dedicated folks you have surrounded yourself with !!

Looking back at 45, I can't believe that it's been 15 years now. Andy life starts moving faster and 60 will be here tomorrow... owning a small business is scary, disastrous and rewarding. Thank you for inspiring me during tough times. Godspeed 🍺🎣

Buying/running/owning/starting-up….a business requires three things; faith, prayers, and the go-forth to advance and grow business

FYI, I'm a truck driver. I do a majority of my research though you tube. I am not watching while driving but I can listen. Ty for your content. Maybe you already covered it but just in case. Outboard jet motors. Pros cons salt to fresh shallow to ? I live in Nortn Mississippi. Less likely to be in Salt but it's a goal to hit the coast line

Very Similar to my story Andy.After 20 plus yrs in the Service,sales and Parts business it was kinda bittersweet when we finally decided to sell the shop.There's days when I miss it,and there's days that I look back on that make me ok with our Decision.Just another chapter in this crazy thing we call Life.I bet you and me would be able to write a really good book about how to start up your own Boat and Or Motorcycle Repair Shop.Keep up the You Tube Stuff Fellas,I really enjoy everything you guys are doing.it always brings back the fond memories from our Shop.

For some strange reason Andy, forums and KZfaqrs have a super hard time getting along, for the life of me I don’t know why.

Keep on keeping on man great dedication

That’s better than the Johnny Morris story!!!.

Loved this one.

Inspiring 💯💪

I'm a Buckeye born Vet living in Texas and Oklahoma visit home when I can Go Big Ten

Andy do a vid on what would be your #1 pick from 90-95 and what engine and why.

I appreciate your hard work getting your business going and your strive to not let anything stop you from achieving your dreams

I feel this.

I put a Suzuki on my 202 just from listening to you. It’s perfect. It’s all about the trust…and that’s you.

Andy, keep doing what you are doing. You have a great following and are so interesting to watch. You have a great business going and I hope at least you consult or stay in it. Your experience is so valuable to us as boaters and fisherman and we really enjoy watching you. I could watch fishing shows all day, but I divert to your videos every day as they show real compassion to what you do and it relates to us for what we are and what we do. Thank you and hope to continue to see new videos every week.

Andy, you are a true American entrepreneur. The heart of this country is small businesses like yours. You’re one of the best in the marine business, and you should rightfully feel proud of your accomplishments. I love your videos and honest evaluations. Kudos my man, onward and upward!

Thanks for the video great info. Sacrifices for the future 👏👏👏

American dream 🇺🇸

Go Pack 🎉

I'd love to see some i/o content! That seems to be all I can get my hands on here in pnw.

have you ever thought about doing like how to videos on like basic maintenance and upkeep to like advances trouble shooting on motors and stuff I'm sure there is a lot we can learn from you with all these years of experience

You can tell Andy is very passionate about what he does. Mad respect to you man. It’s hard to start, run and keep a business going. To those who are local to Team Marine, I highly suggest doing business with this guy! I know I would if he was close to me. 👍👍👍

Congrats!

Congratulations guys that’s what’s wrong with most people now days not willing to do what it takes to make it 👍👍👍👍👍 keep it coming brother still waiting on your hoodies 😂😂😂

We appreciate you team marine, thanks for everything and please don’t stop anytime soon! 🇺🇸

Fold up 20hp Johnson? Wow, never heard of that one!

Great story!!

Wish he was close to me ! Andy would be my Marine guy *😊😊😊

Great video Andy! More people need to understand how hard it is to run your own business!

Thanks for sharing. Bringing back some interesting memories, and emotional memories. A man thinks he know pressure. Then you wake up, mentally spent, in the middle of the night with your wife standing over you in tears. Afraid to lose the house mortgaged to the hilt, feed the youngsters in the next room. Asking questions you can't answer to ease her apprehension. Up to your throat in quicksand. Well if you get past that, you think you'll make it because your just too damn ornery or bull headed not too, Just keep on keeping on. Nothing can build you up like coming home to a supportive woman or crush your $hit like a sharp tongued....naysayer :). Take that woman on a honey moon. Two weeks minimum, three's better, to HER dream vacation. All the best.

Kudos to your wife. She

Love the videos. Take your wife on vacation life is short

Andy & the entire TEAM MARINE SERVICE CREW are the EPITOME of a SERVICE BUSINESS!! They REALLY KNOW THEIR $/-/ IT💩! Wife & I had occasion to spend 5 days in LaCrosse this last August. Have had a Very Minor issue with my boat for a few years. I called 2 months in advance to get an appointment for assessing the problem. During the conversation with KATRINA, I ask about lodging in the area. The lady bent over backwards to help with a PERFECT SETUP for us! Name, phone number & location. Back to TEAM MARINE SERVICE; as per usual when traveling 300 miles, we didn’t arrive in time to get to the Shop as I had hoped. Phone communication & coordination was SUPERB! Wife & I stoped bye the next morning, as arranged, walked in, & was greeted as not so long lost Family! Got to meet the ENTIRE CREW that was there that day! Had a GREAT conversation with ANDY, explained my issue & after 2 questions from ANDY the issue was explained & resolved. We bought some TEAM MARINE merchandise to help cover the time devoted to us & to help Promote this TEAM, Missouri to Florida & all points between! We have nothing but PRAISE for ANDY AND THE CREW! This small business is a SUCCESS because of the Sacrifices We Veterans have made to ASSURE FREEDOM & the opportunities to live out our Dreams! May GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS, OUR TROOPS, & TEAM MARINE SERVICE! SPEED, MONEY, & NO BRAKES!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love this episode.

Andy, as always another great video! 👍

Another great show

Great story of how it all started Andy!

Really appreciate your honesty and you recounting of your journey. Much respect for your persistence. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great video on your come up Andy. Keep them coming brother 💯

Congrats on your many years in the marine industry Andy! Running a business isn't easy, especially to start your own. You have made it work, and should be proud of what you built!

Good stuff! Really like learning about your struggles and growth.

This was great. This may be one of my favorite videos that you have put out. Great work!

Thanks for the heartfelt story and the shout out to us veterans. Appreciate it all

andy thats the American dream you lived it

Thanks for your passion and candidness. Only found this channel recently but have really enjoyed watching the videos. Keep up the awesome work and I look forward to what’s to come.

great story kaatrina rocks

Great story. I have a lot of respect for people like you. If I lived in your area I would be using your shop.

Me and wife run our own business and we understand how it can get out of control and how much work it takes to be successful! I love your videos and I hope you find something to keep you going! I’ve been considering quitting and giving up sometimes it feels useless to keep going!

Thank you man, interesting take on life overall I think. Stay focused, work hard and with family support, you can be successful.

Don't you dare leave us! I don't have a bass boat but one day that will happen. Your videos make me feel like I am part of something when I'm not 🤣

This was an awesome story and im glad I got to hear it. I enjoy watching all your videos and look forward to the next one. You have a passion for this industry and not only can you see it, you can hear it in your voice and actions. I would love to meet you one day and just have you give me a tour of your shop. I've ordered your merchandisetwice. The second order I received a hat and t-shirt, but this time I got a card from you that had the "speed money no brakes" on it also you signed it. I thought that was the shit. I was telling my wife...Look look he even signed it and im 53 years old. Lol. Well anyways thank you for what you do and I hope to see and hear you for many years to come. Anyways I love ya Andy and I really hope to meet you one day. I was forced into early retirement from a work injury so I watch you all the time. Stay strong and don't give up. Love ya man ........ Speed, Money no Brakes.. thanks,, Robert.

I only have one thing to say your dad is looking down right now saying yup that's my son you truly are a great man I look forward to your videos every Friday keep up the great work 👍

While making money is the ultimate goal. Finding and doing what u love in life is what’s most important. U have proven hard work and dedication rewards you in the end. Congratulations to you.

Great story . As a fisherman that does my own work on my boat, by myself, I know this work is demanding and I would imagine very stressful

You could have been telling my life story there. As the owner of Boatworks in Forsyth GA I can feel your pain. I started in a one Bay shop and work my way up to a 10,000 square foot building and seven employees after 18 years I decided to down scale sold my building and just me and one loyal guy in a smaller shop and it has reinvigorated me be back in the shop where it all started and get away from the people management I love your videos can't wait for your next one keep on keeping on

Thanks for the video Andy and Jordan. I ran my own business for 34 yrs from scratch. Started the company by pawning two shotguns for the money to start up. And so you did a great job of expressing what it takes to do what you do. I think it is all about what I call ( Want to ). And I'm not going to fail.

Outstanding video by a true American living the American dream. PS: my first boat was a sports pal canoe with a 3 hp Sears outboard. After many aluminum 9.9 hp boats, several rangers one with a Johnson gt150, I can relate to the evolution of a lover of fishing and boats.

Cool story

Andy I am here for you if you need stress relief I can take you out for some cocktails. Just dont want to see you quit because of stress.😊

Great back story man. Similar story with cars and boats with me. Love them both but never funded properly . Learn to fix what you can afford and enjoy.

I sure wish we had a shop around here that cares, understands, and has knowledge. Owning a 2005 skeeter bass boat and living in northern California it is extremely hard to find anyone that will even work on my v-max. My local Yamaha dealer/ shop won't work on it, it's to old they say. The other shop 2 1/2 hrs away just doesn't deal with bass boats much, but they have worked for me in a pinch, but they are far from thorough and would rather just sell ski boats. I have been forced to do repairs and I am the worst mechanic. I've done a few things right and also a few things wrong. I can't afford a new boat and my boat has quite a few issues and I have nobody that that seems to work on older boats. I dream of having passionate guys like you guys fixing my boat, I know it would be done right. Maybe I can make the journey and tow my rig to your shop to get my boat back to where everything works again. My motor seems strong still but the electrical sucks! Livewells don't hold anymore, finders turn off when I start boat, motor mount, bearings are shot. All simple stuff it seems but these so called boat shops in nor cal suck they act like they are doing me a favor by working on my ancient boat.

Team marine coming to the classic?

I don't think its your thing but you should do a your favorite deep V series.

There used to be a "Team Marine" here in middle TN. They used to be the go to dealer/service shop in the area. That's been years ago, I always wondered if the two were related. Would you happen to know anything about that?

wow

Why is there no Speed, Money, No Brakes merch anymore?

Can you start doing how to fix videos

Is that a soda machine in your shop? Shop tour soon?

👍

Do you have a 36v 60” ultrex link?

What year did you start with your own shop. ?
