From the owner: Been getting lots of emails asking us if we do infact repair 2-stroke motors. The answer is "YES"…read morewe do. I guess lots of repair shops will refuse to work on 2-strokes nowadays. Summer 2025: Been dealing with lots of bad/rotten fuel. Did you know: Ethanol in boat fuel is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air through tank vents, leading to water contamination, phase separation, and potential engine failure. This creates a water-ethanol mixture that settles at the bottom of the tank, causing corrosion, hard starts, and damaged components. Phase Separation: When water concentration reaches approx1/2 of 1%, the ethanol-water mixture separates from the gasoline and sinks, where the engine fuel pick-up is located. Engine Damage: This water-rich mixture causes severe engine sputtering, stalling, rust, and corrosion of aluminum tanks, fuel lines, and carburetors. Solvent Properties: Ethanol acts as a solvent, loosening debris in the fuel system, which can clog filters, injectors, and carburetors. Storage Issues: Ethanol-blended fuel degrades faster, making it risky to leave in a boat for long periods. If a tank has already suffered significant phase separation, the only remedy is to drain the tank completely. Clean fuel system completely out. And start with fresh ethanol free fuel with stabilizer.

I have been doing business with these guys since the 90's and the one thing I can tell you is that…read morethey are honest and cheaper than other dealers with huge overhead. Liz in the office is a gem and Bob knows his way around boats, snowmobiles, personal watercraft​ and I would trust him with any of my toys! Sometimes is dealing with the public you get someone who is unrealistic expectations and despite their best efforts to inform a customer that on old malfunctioning equipment​ sometimes fixing one thing leads to another weak point which fails people hear what they want to! I'll put my 20+ years of dealing with them as a satisfied customer who has done probably 100+ service or purchases with them against any one time hard to please a ​person who had unrealistic expectations for the condition of their equipment!

The owner said he would estimate that it would be about $200. That was good for me because I intended to give it to my brother when it was fixed. They 1.

Probably the best subcontractor I had in 3 years of rebuilding a house. Randy Kruml came in one day…read moreand cleaned all the beams in a 200 year-old post & beam house. The hand hewn beams went from black to bright as the day they were installed. Randy knew just what grit of sand to use and his technique was flawless. Randy came with all the kit, worked his butt off; by dark the gruesome work was done. It would have taken us over a week to do. The best value for money of all the jobs I contracted out. Working with Randy was easy and pleasant. He did what he said he was going to do on the day he said he would do it for the price quoted. And the quality of work exceeded my expectations. If all my subs were like Randy, rebuilding a house would have been a pleasure.
