Dell's Marine in Breckenridge.

Good guy to do business with. Have dealt with him for a little over a year now.

I would agree Dells Marine or Sandycreek Marina in Breckenridge would be your best bet.

Since your location is listed as Abilene; You really need to see Gary Purty out by Lake Allen Henry.....(Actually in Littlefield)

Littlefield is a bit of a drive compared to Breckenridge.

there's a place on s. treadway that sells a few boats...may be worth your while to stop in there and ask if they know of anybody. sandy creek marina in brekenridge may jst be your best bet tho. surely there's got to be some guy working out of his garage somewhere around the lake(tht's pretty good). i know i'm gonna have to drive all over the world to get mine worked to if it ever needs it.
