Ex-Con, I never experienced any of the problems you mentioned with Wilkes. As far as boats outside, maybe during drop-off and pick-up time, but at night they are stored indoors.
I used Dick Simon on my ocean boat Mercruiser for the Gimble Bearing but be ready to spend some major $$$$.
Stay away from the Dana Point ShipYard in Dana Point big rip offs.
I like Dana Point Marine Center on PCH 661-5229. When I was putting in a new motor in my SkipJack they let me use their hoist and didn't try to rip me off.
Good Luck

Take your boat to the guys at Extreme Marine in Santa Ana. They really know their shit, are affordable and won't give you the run around. They even call you with updates on your boat as needed when they are perfoming the work.
