I thought I would share a good story about a SR dealer.
While on vacation on Cape Cod, I had boat trouble (so I thought). The first day of vacation, we were returning from the Bass River to Stage Harbor (about a 5 mile run). About half way, if I pushed past 17 mph, there was a terrible vibration. So, I limped back, pulled the boat out of the water and looked for obvious problems (prop, skeg, etc). Everything looked fine. I figured I was away from my repair shop.... and was SOL.
I called Hyannis Marina the next morning, told them I was on vacation and needed service. They took me right in, had me put the boat in the water, and sent a mechanic (Doug) to take a ride and see what was wrong.
Turns out that I probably got something wrapped around the props, because the boat ran perfect for the test drive.
Anyway, I would like to applaud Hyannis Marina for coming to my aid. :smt038 They were there to save our vacation.
By the way, they did not even charge for their time.
