My ins company has used this group before. I will hold back on the name but they cater to the bass boaters. The mech is versed in high hp stuff but its not the primary direction they like. If it goes sour most likely it will then i am going to a perf shop down by lake martin. Long drive but best hp guy in the state. I know i dont have high hp but go fast mechs understand the forces involved and look after one another.

Sorry to hear,sux,Goodluck
Is that a oneway street? Ive heard if a car is parked on the wrong side headed wrong direction for that side of the street denied claim,not sure if his or yours is the same.just thinking what if. I would think the steering and gimble took a bad hit,the steering plate that bolt to the transom ,see if there damage there,Make sure they know the liability if later on the steering or gimble breaks and causes a wreck? Just throwing out what if's at ya.

Thanks for all the help. Nelems sold the boat new. His emblem is on the stern. Maybe I should give him a call in the morning. I am just really pissed about all this. Hell take a couple hours check things out, let's know how big a job this is, why drag it out. I should have realized this when the same baja was in the shop three of the five days last week for a de winterize.... But 20 billion bass boats got serviced. Maybe if I called a bass boat and mounted a minkota to the bow I would get bumped up....NOT!!!

You for got that you got yer self one of 'dem 'air "Cigar" boats and you might be just a bit off. Why hell all you do is run around makin big 'ol waves that upset maw on the pontoon boat all the time any 'ol way. Ever body knows that Cooter and his Bass boat is always gonna git dun first.
Good luck with this.

Now I'm. Pissed. Boat was supposed to go under the knife today. Drove by at lunch boat is still under cover and backed in where its been since last monday. I called anx they say its in the shop and when mechanic gets back from lunch. Well 2 pm still no movement. 530 still no movement. My ins adjuster will be here at 8.30am to go over mechanics report. So that will delay the process. I have had two friends who have experienced the same last summer. If my boat isnt in work bay in the morning i am jumping ship with these clowns. If i cant take on new customers i politely refer to another hvac contractor or i break my back to work them in. If this shop and i are not on the same page before repairs are started where are we going to be if they miss something....

Exactly, this very well explains the senario, bass boats aren't "cigar boats" but the point is more that they just don't mix eggbeaters with I/O either. Worlds apart from the gel to the prop.
Run Forest Run!!!!!!!!
Best of luck to you and the boat. Robert Nelems is a great source of info. He has helped me alot which makes me feel bad that I haven't bought a boat from him.

I would definitely take this thing to someone more familiar with I/o's and all the stuff that goes along with them, this could be way more than just a broken scag if you know what i mean

Yes! Follow your gut on this. Seems to me this is the tip of the ice berg and you already said where it seems headed. Your probably more right than you think.
