we all know that if you have a boat, at some point you will need to be towed. it happened to me (again)back in july. the ignition switch went out on my 29 year old boston whaler. i had it repaired locally at a marina on the lake. the good news: the folks fixed the switch. the bad news: all the gauges, the radio and electric choke did not work any more. i was told by their mechanic "sorry". he could not fix it without totally ripping out all the wiring and for me to bring it back in the off season when they were not busy. it could be fixed for (an additional) 600.00. rather than argue and run the risk of not having my boat any further (they already had it 2 weeks) i paid them for the switch and got out of there.
i floated in the lake for a couple of weeks and decided i could not keep operating the boat like that. based upon some of the threads i read in the past on this messace board, i contacted CAT. we decided it was best for me to bring it to his shop. i brought it in one afternoon and he phoned me the very next day to come pick it up! it was FIXED. he even fixed some stuff that he saw needed attention that i didn't ask him to! plus, a complimentary test drive in the river to make sure everything worked right!
i was surprised to know that CATHOUSE performance marine not only works on high performance watercrafts, but also pontoons and bassboats too. he and his staff certainly breathed another life into my old boat.
where we get our cars serviced, buy tires, have appliances fixed, heating and cooling repairs, just about any kind of repair service....i usually just hope to not get screwed too bad.
i have found my new boat repair service and feel very lucky to have made this discovery. VERY, VERY professional folks. it was apparent from talking back and forth with them that not only CAT, but his whole staff were genuinely concerned with the customer.
thanks for yall's reccomendation.
