I'll second that! The work they've done on my Baja has been excellent! They went out of their way to get my boat running properly when I was on vacation 2 yrs ago!

They had done some maintenance work for me right before my vacation and when I dropped the boat in the water, it had a misfire that wasn't there before. I met Dave at Glendale docks, he ended up taking the boat back to his shop for diagnosis and work. Since we were staying in Wolfeboro, he had one of his staff drive us back to Wolfeboro! The next afternoon, my boat was fixed and ready to go! Now that, to me, is customer service!

I don't know what I'm going to do if he retires before I get out of boating!

Default South of the border.

I know of no shops South of NH and North of Florida, sorry.

I'm not sure if they exists, but there was a Middlesex Marine off of the Merrimac River in Tyngsboro? Before performance boats were outlawed they did a lot of performance tuning and maintenance on the lake. They had a mobile shop and came to the dock! I would check to see if they are still around.

They closed down years ago, maybe 15+. I had an Evinrude that blew, they rebuilt is 3 times before they got it right.
I used to water ski on that stretch of water from the Hudson bridge to Lowell.
Great stretch of water to ski on after they cleaned up the river. What a change from the sewer it used to be.

RE: Middlesex Marine

WOW haven't thought of those folks in years, I think they were the guys who turned out the Polaris turbo-charged triple snowmobiles. Was his name Mike???

Anyway they are long gone. Someone else was in there for a shore while trying to see Chinese repos of Glastron GT 150's A cool boat in its day, but not useful for anything but a small pond today. Just way too many big boats tearin up the water now. Even my CVX-20 is way too small for Winnipesaukee these days, so I cannot even imagine what a GT 150 would be like on a busy Saturday. Besides the Chinese repo were not 100%, they had some odd changes,,,

Thanks for the memories.
