in search of a boat mechanic in my area ??????

I am looking for a trustworthy mechanic in my area. I live in the Petit Jean , Arkansas river valley region. I recently used a mechanic in the plainview area, after waiting three months longer than I was promised and paying more than double the original quote less than satisfactory is an understatement to my experience!!!! I've recently purchased another boat and after running it a couple months its running a little rough at an idle its only a couple years old so im not worried im sure it just needs a tune up or carburetor adjustment or something minor but I don't know who to take it to, any suggestions???? ,:dono

Performance Boatworks in Sherwood if you ever get over that way.

501-834-2278

Lester Mashburn, north of London Arkansas..does good work at reasonable rates. He's in the phone book

Make a great trip over to Memphis for wife shopping and drop boat off at big Bills for the day. :highfive Everyone will be happy

If it is a Mercury, h20 sports in Sherwood is the place to take it. Guarenteed

Dickerson marine just north of Wooster will do a good job at a fair price. Phone # 501-581-0123

NEVER EVER use that a-hole in Plainview. He kept a friend of mines motor over 10 yrs. He got it back but it was never worked on. Lester Mashburn in London is da man. About half price too.

Hwy 9 at overcup he cleans carbs about 20$
per carb

Like I've said on here avoid Johnny McIntosh at Good Ole Boys Trading post at Plainview like the plague.

I can give you names of several that left them much longer than that and never got them fixed! I don't keep it a secret from him , tell everyone I know how shady he is. Seen him in action raise price after quotes and they drive 2 hours to get here.
