DON'T LET THE "GOOD BUDDY" ACT OF THE OWNER FOOL YOU. WE BOUGHT OUR FIRST BOAT AND IT WAS LEAKING AND STALLED OUT THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT OUT. NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT BOAT MOTORS WE TOOK IT TO AN "EXPERT", WHO ASSURED US WE STILL HAD A FINE MACHINE AND HE WOULD FIX IT AND MAKE IT RUN AGAIN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. HE CHARGED US MORE THAN WE PAID FOR THE BOAT (WE HAD ALREADY TOLD HIM WHAT WE GOT IT FOR) AND AFTER A WEEK SAID IT WAS ALL FIXED AND READY FOR THE WATER. WHEN WE TOOK THE BOAT OUT ON THE WATER IT WOUDN'T GO IN REVERSE ( A PROBLEM WE DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE). IT STILL LEAKS AND HE NEVER PUT A NEW SEAL OR CHECKED OUT THE WATER PUMP OR ANYTHING ELSE. THERE IS NOW WATER MIXING WITH THE OIL AND WE ARE STUCK! OUR RECEIPT WAS NEVER ITEMIZED (HOW CONVENIENT FOR HIM) SO HAVE TO GO BACK AND TRY TO GET THIS GUY TO MAKE IT RIGHT. WHAT A WASTE!!! WE HAVE OWNED THIS BOAT FOR 3 MONTHS AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY IT. SO MUCH FOR TRYING TO PUT OUR TRUST AND GIVE OUR BUSINESS TO A LOCAL PLACE-WHAT A SHAME. BEWARE!!!!
