Lets Try It Again

Yet again the Boat is now home. Repair work to the trim and tilt has been completed and is working as it should. Bill was only $111.00 that included a couple of relays and a small amount of tech labor. Fair enough the way I look at it. Now I can get on with the check out and get ready to put this gal in the water on Monday.

I didn't know you could get a bill that low from a Marine Shop

I agree Lee. I was really shocked when they gave me to total cost yesterday.

Don, the posted labor rate at this ship is $119.00 per hour. the only charged for 30 minutes and the relays were only $20.99 ea a little line item for shop supplies of $5.95 and it all added up on the bottom line as a low $111.26 and that included 8% sales tax.

Bud, after all you've been through you deserve a boat lasts at least 25 more years. Congrats and good luck.

Sure glad you got your baby home,,, I know what it's like to have boat issue after boat issue with boat in the past. I'd say something about my new boat being awesome but don't want to jinx it

Good luck tomorrow Bud!

Hope I am the only one at the ramp. The motor has not been run since March and for sure this old Johnson will probably put up quite a smoke screen for a minute or two.

Nothing beats smelling 2 cycle marine oil burning first thing in the morning.

Good luck Bud and may all go well.

I am hoping that this is the end of a two year nightmare with regards to the boat. Aside from a couple quick outings and finding broke stuff, I have been shore bound for too long. All systems have been checked and re-checked the only thing is will the motor run after its long vacation. I am so excited I already have butterflies.
