      I agree, I have been driving past it for a decade and never knew it was there. The page is doing well man, about to tick over to 100k. Seems like a long time coming lol.

    Yassssssss, shoutout to Chris with On Site! Can't wait to finish up the rigging on the motor, I am ready to go fishing on the SS boat. Tbh, I cant believe the lower unit had all that water in it. Shoot I know where I am going for all my boat and vehicle needs now.

    Why spend 3k fixing a lower unit when you can spend 30k on a new motor!
    Hell of a sales pitch.

      @Saltyscales  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      3K On a 20 year old motor lol. Yea your logic makes more sense. The 300 doesn't cost 30k. 👍

      $31,095 plus costs of rigging, new instruments, taxes etc. Well over 30,000.
      Now if he said 13000 to repair that's closer.

    The boat is really looking great! You will like the 303 products. They have a touchless sealant for your truck that awsome. You need to try that as well.

    Hey Josh, I don't want to assume so I will ask, are we going to see the new engine put on the boat? I was thinking instead of a catch, clean, and cook, you could make a catch, prep, and install video. Love Honda engines but have been blown away by the Suzuki engines. Dude your going to fly. Interesting tour of the auto parts store. Saw some things I had not expected. Looking forward to the power plant. 👍 Take Care, Stay Well, and God Bless my friends! ✝

      I think they are definitely making a statement. For the price, warranty, and proven track record over the last five years. That is coming from someone who has only owned Yamaha's until I purchased this boat.

      For sure can be written off. Suzuki didn't do much to sponsor us. Chris with Onsite helped were he could but he is a small family owned company. One of the reasons I want to get his shop name out there.
