Jim at Dave's Outboard, now full service Marina on Long Lake, Sarona, WI has cared for my previous and now a new Cobalt boat for over 25 years, as well as our pontoon outboard. He also takes care of in and out service of our lift. He's very busy on Long Lake with gas and serving his customers marine needs. Highly recommended. read more
Dave is the greatest. Our outboard wouldn't start and Dave agreed to look at it when he was very busy. He got it running for us for a great price. read more
Daves had my 9.9 horsepower outboard for 4 months. When I drooped it off I was told it would be done in 3 weeks. I called every other week and got different answers.
Parts are delayed. Haven't had time! Who are you hang on I'll call you back! Over and over and over again. To make this long story short I called and was finally told it was in fact done. I went to pick it up, paid for it. I asked the mechanic to walk me through what he had done. He took me to the boat showed me everything. I asked so it will pull start no problem. He said yes no problem. He tried repeatedly and could not get it started. He muttered that if I had picked it up a month ago when it was done it would have been ok. "I said hey i have been calling every other week and NO ONE ever said it was done. He was angry and said he did not have time to work on it that day and would look at it the next morning and get it running. The next afternoon I showed up still not running. He told me he was leaving on vacation and he would be gone a week or he would give me a full refund. I took the refund. As he gave me the refund he told me how he is getting screwed because he put $200 worth of parts in that engine and he is taking a loss. I reminded him the engine doesn't run he had it for 4 months and accomplished nothing. Seems to me I am the one that got screwed!! read more
