Have tried to contact Gunter Marine on Jacksonville Hwy for over a week. Went by on Saturday, was closed, and building said For Sale. Any info appreciated.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

His building has been for sale for a few years, he could be on Vacation, so if he's gone there is no one else there. I'll try and go by his house and see what's up.

He works out of his shop at his house now I believe. I had heard a few weeks ago he had a heart attack. He is the best Mercury mechanic around. That is probay my you can't get ahold of him.

Yeah, I've used Gunter Marine for the last 12 - 13 years and Mark has always fixed me up. Sorry to hear he may be ill.

Just talked to his wife and he's been in ICU for over 30 days. He had some complications for emergency surgery for a brain tumor. Pheunomia has set in and he's on a treacheatomy to help his breathing. He's lost about 30 lbs and is being fed interveiniously. Can't even talk, but he keeps writing notes, and says he will be back working on boat motors. So keep Mark and his family in your prayers.
