Dick rebuilt my XR's about 2 years ago. We had to install new pinion gears, bearings, etc. He mic'd EVERYTHING, and blueprinted my drives for proper fit and assembly. Since that time I ran the boat for about 15-20 hours or so on the drives he rebuilt for me, and had him dis-assemble them for inspection------everything looked great. He is great to work with---and besides that Dick's shop is only about 5 miles away from the Skater Factory in Douglas/Saugatuck.

Hey Dick great looking shop, it is cleaner than most of the rooms in my house 
I have an idea
since you are so close to the Skater plant, why not invite some of the guys back to your place for a demonstration. This way you won't have to give the after dinner talk on "Everything You Wanted To Know About Outdrives But Were Afraid to Ask"
Seriously if you want I can mention it in the pre party email in case there is interest.

Thank you Ms PY... I was hoping to head for the happy hour.. but if someone wants to visit the shop, we could do that. I seriously think dinner and drinks will be on most people's mind..
