Hey Guys,

After having the Velocity laid up in storage for a three years while dealing with some health nonsense we brought the boat to a local service center to bring her back to life. The boat had no issues before the layup so efforts were pumping out the fuel tanks, replacing fuel lines, raw water pumps, servicing drives, replacing all trim indicator cables, replacing GPS Speedo’s, a full detail, and other minor details. The shop owner is a nice guy and does good work from what I’ve seen but we’ve had one delay after another since dropping the boat off in September 2023 and am still waiting on a last few details to be taken care of. The boat looked great after the full detail that was completed last January 🤔. What last ditch ideas while trying to stay on the friendly side do you have?

Thanks!
Rick

Does anyone have recommendations for a good inbound/outboard shop in Pinellas County?

Obviously the first thing to do is have an honest face to face discussion with the shop owner and let him know your health issues are behind you and that now time is of the essence getting this “project wrapped up. Give him a deadline and find out if he can meet it. If he says he cannot, then pay for the work he has done and pull it out of there. We live in FL so he can not use winter weather as a delay tactic. Good luck.

Might want to contact Kenny at Let's Talk Boats. I think he is in Deland. He is a former General manager of Velocity. If he can't do it...he likely knows someone who can.
