Mobile Marine Services
Boat Repair & Vessel Restoration(opens in new tab)
While we do not perform major structural overhauls in a fixed yard, our mobile boat repair services solve the time-consuming problems that stall your season:
- Leaky portlights and cabin windows
- Wood rot repair and brightwork restoration
- Soft deck patching and teak deck seam re-caulking
- Fiberglass paint and gelcoat touch-ups

Catch minor vessel issues before they become expensive, safety-critical failures. Routine boat maintenance protects your investment and keeps your craft cruise-ready. We collaborate with you to build a custom seasonal maintenance schedule covering:

- General hull cleaning, detailing, and waxing
- Onboard mechanical, plumbing, and marine electrical system checks

About COMO-BRAM & Founder Lance Como
In 1979, Lance Como traveled south in a converted 1966 Bluebird RV and landed at Marlinspike Marina in Delray Beach, Florida. What started as six months of pressure washing, barnacle scraping, and replacing sacrificial keels turned into a lifelong passion for vessel care.
Over the past four decades, Lance has completely restored a fleet of classic motor yachts and sailboats, including:
- 1960 Owens 30' Sea Skiff Express
- 1961 Chris-Craft 50' Constellation
- 1966 Columbia C26 MKI
- 1972 Grand Banks 32 Classic
- 1973 Aquarius A23 Sailboat
- Current Projects:1969 Bristol 42 Offshore Trawler, 1976 Uniflite 36DC, and 1965 Owens 30' Sea Skiff Express
Whether resealing portlights, rewiring 12V DC systems, or stripping and refinishing teak, basic care goes a long way. In semi-retirement, Lance helps boat owners keep their vessels in tip-top, bristol condition—offering 40+ years of classic wooden boat and fiberglass maintenance expertise without the corporate shipyard price tag.
45+ Years of Marketing & Graphic Design Expertise
In addition to four decades of hands-on boat restoration, Lance brings over 45 years of professional graphic design, branding, and strategic marketing experience.
Having helped both startup ventures and established marine and industrial businesses expand their market presence, Lance specializes in taking complex ideas through the creative process—turning them into high-converting ads, sales collateral, and trade presentation materials.
Whether tuning up a vessel's mechanical systems or optimizing a client's marketing strategy to drive revenue, the goal remains the same: practical, high-quality execution that yields real results.

Grand Banks 32-247
I sold the Lucky Maru... then helped the buyer sell her again.
Back in August 2024 I sold the Lucky Maru... was sorry to see her go, happy for the new owner. He renamed her after his beloved wife Katie Mae. Joe, who bought her from me, just didn't have the time nor energy to maintain a wood boat and has recently purchased a C-Dory 22. I haven't met the new owner.
Below are some images of how she looked when I sold her... was one of the nicest Grand Banks 32's in the country... if not the world. I put over 5000 miles on her but my brother lives with me and a 32 doesn't cut it for any privacy.
I was a Travelin' Man
Restoring boats or traveling - haven't been out of the country in 13 years but, passport has been renewed. Hoping after the America's Great Loop journey, I'll be able to head back to the Netherlands to rent a canal boat out of Sneek.
