I have a (new to me) 2007 Ranger Z20 with a Yamaha 225 HPDI. Can anyone recommend a shop with experience with Rangers and Yamahas? The Cabela's here is the only authorized dealer as far as I can tell but I would like to try a local shop first. I searched the forum but didn't find anything.

If it matters, the issues are:
1. The boat sat unused for about 6 months. On my test drive with the prior owner it started immediately and did fine. Then 2 weeks later when I put it in the water for my first run, the engine started right away. I idled around for 20 minutes then I turned it off. Then the motor would turn over but not start for about 10 minutes. Finally it started.
2. On the keypad, the red light next to the "stop" button blinks constantly.
3. The 4 bay battery charger is not working and I have ordered a new one.
4. The trailer was rarely used and I would like to get someone to see if it is road worth to drag it on a 600-mile trip this summer.

This is my first boat and I know very little, and I'm learning as I go. I've learned a ton on this forum so far!

I am south of Fort Worth on Lake Alvarado. I can help you with the Ranger. Please contact me by phone or email. Thanks!! Chris

Thanks! I'm hoping for somewhere a little closer to home, but Alvarado isn't as far since the Chisholm Trail Parkway opened. I'll let you know.
