I'm sure this can be a fairly simple, straight forward job. The problem is finding time to tear the thing down and get it fixed right. This is the reason it sat all last year: Time.
We now have the $$$ thanks to the tax return, and we are ready to get it fixed. Now I just need to find a reputable place to do the work. I also would like to know what they do to ensure it is running right before we take it back. I can start and run it in the driveway just fine with the water hose attached, but you can't really punch the throttle doing that or it could cause damage since there is no pressure on the prop. Do they have a way to put the back end in a tank or something to load test the engine?
Any other input on a good shop / mechanic to take the boat to?
