Hi Everyone I'm new to the forum and was wondering if anyone Knows of anyone in my area ,,[St Petersburg Fl ] who can work on performance boats ,,I'm pretty knowledgeable and mechanically inclined just don't have much time to do so ,,right now I have a 33 ft Fountain w/ twin -built 468 w/ Blowers ;;TRS drives , Was on the water and felt a slight vibration along with a skip like a tranny slip so I cruised back in and all the sudden the vibration got so bad I put in [starboard ]in neutral and vibration went away ,so I knew something came loose ,so of course I put it in gear one last time and POW slipped right out of gear ,so I pulled boat out of water and grabbed the prop and was a loud grinding noise in lower drive ,thought for sure that was the only issue , rebuilt lower drive gears , but wont go into gear now , so I looking for someone to pull motor and I believe tranny[borg&warner] or flywheel bolts sheered ,,I was going to do myself but right now pretty busy and rather just drop it off somewhere and have it done ,thank you for any help
