Brad, Howard wants to repair the drive, and move on to a bigger boat, around 35 ft. or so.

Jeff went through my outdrive last year. No problems so far but I am easy on the boat.

Great guy who takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile.

Mike, if you got rid of your red boat, noone would see you on the water anymore.

RunninHot,

Sounds like you had a less than acceptable experience. Sorry to hear it.

So far, so good for me.

Grand Sport Center rebuild one of the many XR's that I broke. They did a great job and did it fast.
