I got a boat, trailer and motor cheap ($350) because previous owner took out the electric start motor and never replaced it. Was thinking of seeing if it was worth repair or just part it out? Any suggestions? I live in Dyer County, Reelfoot Marine is less than a mile from my house just wanted to ask around. Thanks!
George and Tim are good but a lil pricey (imo). If it were me I'd take it to Jimmy Ford out on 51 bypass pass four points on the right. Old ford saw shop building, hes good and fair on his prices...
That little 9.9 is a good motor if it don't cost a ton to get it running. Sure need to put a water pump in it while working on it.
Thanks! I'll check out both, I had heard George was pricey but good. Somebody told me there is a place at Reelfoot that isn't too high and does good work but I don't remember who he said it was.
Jimmy Ford is one of the best (IMO) on Johnsons motors, I have had him fix several for me in the past. Don't think Reelfoot marine will work on OMC.
