The boat is coming home!!!  That’s great news, but at what cost?  It ain’t coming cheap; I’ll tell you that.  When is it ever though right?  It’s been more than a month now since the boat has been away.  After sitting at Austin Action Marine for about 3 weeks, I was told that it would be a $3500 fix.  OUCH!  Obviously that was not going to be a great option.  I decided to take it to someone else for another opinion.  I took it over to Chris Ray who runs Performance Outboards off of Hwy 71 as you’re headed out to Lake LBJ.   [Read more…]
