Are they Honest, I have heard alot of ( Ghost stories ) about dealers, The all i needed was a spark plug but they told me it was blown and needed rebuilt type stuff. Just trying to weed out the garbage. And thank you for the reply.

Well it started squeaking, when i started it. kinda loud an annoying. It will idle but if you put it in gear without giving it gas it starts to spit and sputter. If you give a little throttle it runs great. But i think it has a tick that i dont remember hearing. So i shut it off and am not going to run it until i have someone look at it.

I don't know anyone around you but my dealer in Nicholasville does a really good job. Stokley's.

I've been taking my boat with an opti-max to B and J Marine for several years and they have always been great.

Tim is very honest,you will know as soon as you talk to him what kind of guy he is. When you go over there its not a dealership atmosphere. They do good work. Give him a try.

Len has worked on my 1999 200 optimax. Both times 100% satisfied. two different years

1st time needed tune up. misssing and really sluggish. when he was done took it straight to the lake. Purred like a kitten.

2nd time: heat light and alarm kept coming on. He diagnosed bad impeller. when he was done took it straight to the lake. Again purred like a kitten "without that loud alarm"

Very fair priced and will tell you what it needs and will tell you if you don't need what you ask for.
