Maiden Voyage........Update....`

[Dink]

The salesman that sold me the boat called today..........owner of the marina had him call and tell me that if the motor needed serious repair to call them, that they wanted to help me out..............I only called them the One time to tell them what happened. I was sure they'd tell me to frick off, but there ya go. There ARE still some stand up folks in this world..................Still no word from mechanic as to whats wrong w/ it, but I'm patient............Tim

I hope it works out great for you...

Not to be harsh but do yourself a favor and get your boat away from master marine.I had a motor that came from them that they welded the flywheel nut on! Im not trying to talk trash,I know this for a fact.Do yourself a favor and bring it to ANYONE but master marine.

Damn THE BAD LUCK TIM!!!! Hate to hear that...........That just SUCKS

[Montauk17]

Sorry to hear that man,I had a feeling that was the problem after you said it died and when you tryed to re start it the starter would not turn it. Try to make sure they use all mercury pistons,bearings,and seals,not aftermarket.If you need any help let me know bro.

[SULPHITE]

That really really sucks man...hopefully good luck will follow!!

[Dink]

I look at it this way........I'll have a TOP NOTCH rig when all this is over........won't worry bout hittin the gulf after this.......should be good to go!!

[all star rod]

The place you bought the boat from would not step up to help you.

Besides offering parts at cost, they said "thats some bad luck you got"..........I'll be talkin to a lawyer later about it..........I don't think it was right to advertise it as only 49 hours if it wasn't.........To me thats like rolling back the odometer on a car to sell it for more...................the low hours was the BIGGEST selling point for me..........there were a few newer models with more hours, they were even closer to home, but I passed on them, AND they were cheaper!!!!

Tim, give Byron Harris a call at 225-698-6272, he is a great outboard man who does all my work, and he races for Mercury Marine, so he knows them inside and out. He may be able to save you some money and he WILL do the job right!
