    If Big Wheel is the place I think it is Dennis was a good mechanic, don't know if he was still there. Sorry to hear about about all the bad work costing you money.

    That's who built my motor Rog , and he did seem like a good mechanic . But he was the guy who built my motor and he was also the guy who checked it out the two times I brought it back and said it ran fine and he couldn't find anything wrong with it . If I had to guess , he built it and someone else installed it .

    Sorry to hear about you getting hosed at the messchanic. Dealer installed a 2020 merc 250 4 stroke for 18k and gave me 10k trade on my 2 stroke pro xs with 267 hours. 21k is 3k too high IMHO

    Gun, I own and Evinrude Etec and had a few Evinrudes.

    My small boat 1448 Tracker Grizzly has a Mercury as they all seem to be made by Tohatsu.
    I did give Rookie Boats first shot out of respect to power my boat and they did not have any small short shaft motors at the time.
    I had great service from Rookie Boats and you deal with the owner/ mechanic versus a big dealer.
    At that point I went with Mercury and got the 8 yr Platinum warranty.
    It just a small water just myself fishing boat and I got it rigged out it is pretty cool.

    Now my Progator I had I dealt with Rookie Boats which they treated me right.
    I did switch out that old motor in 2016 for a newer Etec and he gave me a fair deal on the trade and repower.

    Now my Crestliner I bought the boat new it did not have a motor, but had the mercury cables and control box.
    Rookie gave me a again a fair price on a 115 Hp Evinurde when the 10 yr warranty or 7yr warranty plus free cables & rigging was offered.


    BR area you kind of limited to Ascension Outboards.

    Lafayette area The Sportsman in Abbeville or Frontier in New Iberia taken care of my relatives with the big 250's for their offshore boats.
    They like their Evinrudes and their service.

    Alex my brother in law uses Real Deal and likes them on his G2.

    New Orleans area there Blue Dot in Chalmette which they taken care of me when I had issues down in Delicroix area.

    Metairie the shops off Airline behind an office area that services Evinrudes and sells them called Bayou Outboards.
    Pretty cool guy he helped me out on my first generation Evinrude etc.
