Sean,
They tried to charge me $3800.00 to rebuild a Bravo drive! It was bad enough Merc . would not warrantee it. It then self destructed within 1 hr of use. Then they would not stand behind their work. I was lucky that a very good friend of mine new someone who worked for merc and got me a brand new drive for free.
I stored it there for the winter and the head mechanic called after they winterized and said the fiberglass was cracked on the engine mount stringer and needed to be fixed. I said to prevent what happened last time with the drive, write up a proposal and send it to me. 1 month went by and I received no info. 2 weeks later I went to take the boat out of there to take it somewhere else to be looked at and they told me the work was done. I said "it was? Under who's authority? I did not give any go ahead for the work" The bill was over $4000.00!!! Well after some heated arguments we negotiated the price and I left, never to return!!!
