He has a good reputation at the lake.

He doesn't have a good reputation here. I think he is a piece of $hit.

They're local guys from st. louis. Might wanna try www.midwestboatparty.com as they're on there more than here. Shawn Vinson's dad owns Vinson Mortgage in St. Louis and Jim Lyle works/worked for them. Hope things get resolved between all parties.

Actually, this thread will interest you.. Memorial Day pics

Hopefully this helps

Yup, nice weld schedule on that one. Probably used a Harbor Freight 110vac GMAW machine.

Going to retract this (P.O.S.) opinion ---- for now. I don't know Ray, and for all I do know, he may be checking into the situation. I just think that he should get in touch with me so we could resolve this.

I know its crappy to make assumptions.... but I'm betting that he knew that (if the prop was for sure repaired) the fix was temporary or not gonna be his best bet for his boat. prolly crossed his fingers and sold them.

What does the batman MTI have in it for power?
