Seems like a simple battery load test would have found that the battery was fine, and led the tech to a different diagnosis.
It seems like it is getting harder and harder to find a dealer/tech/shop who can find and fix a problem the first time. And a simple start test on the new battery after it was installed and the tech would have noticed that the problem still existed.
I hope you discussed this with the service manager and/or owner at the marina. Not sure how he would have resolved it, but at least it can turn into a learning situation for the tech that did the work.
