Tampa Repair Services
 

Post this again.... got flicked with the restore

Hi all,

Can I get a recommendation on a reair service that might travel to marinas. I have to get me manifolds off and theres some corrosion, so I'm not sure if they can doi it without a shop.

Thanx

Gusman from the board is in Sarasota. I know he travels a bit and is very knowledgable and could probably help you out. Id be damned if I can think of his businesses name or his REAL name though. He came thru for me in a big way last year in fixing my Tiger

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

I don't think he does marina work, but you can call Ray Hanke at Force Ten Marine in Clearwater, I know he has a freind that does on site work. He was at Ray's when Ray was putting the engine in my Donzi, and he seemed very knowledgable.

Force Ten Marine
Address: 10871 49th St N, Clearwater, FL 33762
Phone: (727) 573-1666

Russ, Formula Outlaw, knows Gusman, he can tell you how to reach him.

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

Yeah Mike,

They shut the shop down the week I was to get it in there. I'm trying to get a guy, Al Pittman, to take a look, but none of these guys are proving very reliable getting back to me.

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

I HIGHLY recommend Gusman aka Scott Samec. Young guy, knows his stuff. Very reasonable. Loves working in the back of cramped Formulas with rusted manifolds, especially when I didn't clean the bilge. :D :D

He owns and operates SMS Mobile Marine Service. His number is: 941-232-3523.

I give him "5 props"....He will give you more than your money's worth....:drink:

p.s. tell him "Painintheassmaster" recommended him. :drink:

[Welcome to Florida! :D Guess everyone's too busy?
You can also try Nick Buis @ Performance Marine. He took good care of working on my boat & Cuda's. Don't know if he travels?

I bet you can Mike!! LOL

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

Call Al at Addictive Motorsports, 813-247-3049. He is a certified merc guy and can do it all.
Tell him your a fan od his raceboat OFFSHORE ADDICTION and he'll take care of you :D

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

I'd like to avoid shipping the boat around. That was the reason I sold the trailer and went to Home Port with a shop on site. I heard most of the Marinas are dumping their service centers.

A guy by the name of Al Pitman is supposed to do the work for me. Dennis from the HP shop reccomended him...

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

Alen is a great guy tell hin Frank D. buddy from Chiccago say's high Big Bob Z

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

Did you call Ray?

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

No, didn't call Ray, Alan Pitman is supposed to start next week. I'm just leery about them getting some frozen manifold bolts off. Don't know if you need a full shop for that.

Re: Tampa Repair Services
 

Gusman ran into four of those I think and did not have any real trouble with them. The worst part was the position you have to get into to get at them.

For anyone in the general Sarasota and surrounding areas, you should really give him a try. You will be more than pleased.
