Best marine service and repair.

Nausett -- although our boat is a Merc-Cruiser engine (as you indicated) most of the boats now are offered with a buyers choice of outdrives (Penta or Merc) -- That certainly was the case when we upgraded in 2005.

With that said, Channell certainly could handle eithor as they are selling both. I simply prefer Merc for the availability of service & parts here in MA (we haul our boat out of Winni and into Ma from Memorial Day thru mid July). I truely believe the old stigma attached to the Penta drives -i.e hard to find certified service - is longgggg gone.
