FIX FIX FIX your boat 4 the sommer it coming soon

over 15 years expireance in boat repairs will work on all boats outbourds & inbourd outbourds as well send me an e-mail & let me know whats going on with your boat. tell me what kind of problems you are having & i will get back in contact with you asap ok thanks again 4 any & all replys..

I will also do maintinance work as well meaning ,,,, right now i am offering a summer special 4 these things listed [[[[ carbs cleaned,tune-ups,water-pump & all gaskets replaced ,,change lower unit oil & refill.. ]]]] i will also drain out any old gas out of the tanks that have been sitting up & have gummed up the carbs. this must be done before the carbs are cleaned out........

Yep, seen one about summerizing special their to. I would run away. I hear too many horror story`s on boat repair.

In my personnal opinion: I believe he is illiterate. The grammer and text of the add indicates that he lacks the communication skills that it takes to properly communicate with the customer. I would feel like he is trying to text message with his using of symnbols to save add space. I don't think he would have too much problem doing the actual work, I do believe that there my be more work preformed than what is needed. Just by reading the add, he seems to drift from the topic and try to incorporate more than what a customer needs or wants.
What I do not see is a Business Address, Tax ID number, or Texas Dealer Number. Nor do I see a mention of warrantee............here today, gone tommorrow........

HAHAHAHA!!!! Yep he kinda dumb. I bet he doesnt own a tooth brush either. hahaha

There is no doubt this poor man can't read any better than he can spell or make the use of any semblance of English grammar.

As you can see even my writing skills are better than this guys and I spent nine years in the third grade.

I don't think he could read an outboard repair manual much less do the work.

I got beat by a so called boat mechanic who did more damage to my boat and motor than he did good.

Spanky was kind enough to fix my messed up boat and motor and did not charge me an arm and a leg either.

He has never had a bad word spoken about him here on Texas Fishing forum that I know of.

I cannot say enough good about Spanky's services.

No matter how flat you mash a pancake, there's always gonna' be two sides of it.

I never mash a pancake until I put some butter and syrup on it and put it in my mouth.
