I have kept several boats at Fay's and have had occasional service done there from time to time over the past 50 years and have always been treated well, even though I never bought a boat from him and rarely buy from his store. granted, he is not very happy to see a cigarette boat pull in, but neither are many of us. all this flame-throwing is just BS.

Actually Fat Jack that is not true. I am not involved in the "speed limit issue", and neither are any of my friends. None of us are GFBL members, in fact, I don't even know what GFBL stands for. So I only speak of true experiences. May not have happened to me personally, but I know that it did happen. I really don't give a crap what Merrill supports or doesn't support. All I know is what I related, and that is in our instance, Merrill appeared to be a not so good businessman. The one experience we had was more than enough for us to decide to never go near the place again.
