By the way, if he loaned you a boat to fish and you think he's just having problems with your particular boat - hey, that does happen. Then just be honest with him and tell him that you gave him a fair enough shot and it's unfortunate that he can't resolve the issue but you need to pick it up and take it to someone else and give them a shot.

As a technician (not boat), we all sometimes get in to situations that, for whatever reason, we just can't figure it out. It could be something simple that we just overlooked 5 months ago, right?

Sometimes telling the tech that you understand and being overly nice with them can go a long ways.
However, you have to reiterate that you're not paying him to keep your boat for 8 months and tinker with it. It's not his pet project.

Good luck. I feel for ya. It's a tough spot for sure.

Black Beard marine in Kingston Ok did a great job for me. Went in that morning with a water pump out and they took care of it right then I was in and out within an hour.

I hear this is a great mechanic,honest and fair priceing.He will come out to where you are located,give him a call.

+ 100 on Jeremy, I will never take my boat anywhere else. He does all the work to my boat, which has been less and less often since he has been doing it. Honest and fair.
