Back in business

Just got good news from Porter Marine. It seems that the motor itself did'nt lock up but the lower unit shattered on Trouttrents boat, while that don't sound like good news it really is

. Instead of having to replace the motor Waviel rebuilt the lower unit. Saved Jeff a big chunk of change. I'm a firm believer in Porter Marine and for what Jeff paid it's unbelievable. A big thanks go out to Waviel for getting us back in the action.

Mr. Porter is great. He has always come through for us both time wise and $$$ wise
Glad to hear you boys are back in action

Hope he didn't stick ya'll. I sold Waviel the parts for $45.00. I made out good, they came off a old '52 Johnson.

Hmmm, this explains why Waviel said some old coot came and sold him parts for antique motors worth thousands of dollars and all the old coot wanted was enough money to buy bait and cheap beer.

That's the motor JT bought new when he was 19.
