unfortunately the good guy doesn't want to be dragged into it, and I can respect that.

I will certainly warn you all where to stay away from though.

If your friend is a certified machanic, and can document what he found as the problem (and what the RI dirtbags tried to do), then you definitly have a case of fraud. You could probably go after them for the money you paid them (diagnosing a problem they caused).
In any case, I'd make sure that you "legally" go after them and let the public know. Who knows how many other people were ripped off by these people?

Thats what I was thinking. It is pretty sad/scary when you see how many boats are in their lot.

Just to clarify, they didn't cause the problem. They just lied and said I needed a new EMM, which is big $$$, when it is obvious they found the real problem, the lift pump. They also tried to scare me into re-power, by telling me I was going to have to pay over $2K, and miss most of the season.

A trustworthy mechanic and an honest boat yard are worth their weight in gold.
