Got a boat with a fuel system problem? Got $1,500 to throw away? Got 3 years to wait for a repair you already paid for? Well cruise on over to Knotty mobile marine at the corner of Grass Lake road and 83 in Antioch. He can handle all of what your looking for. First, he will misdiagnose the problem, then blame another part, such as a fuel pump. Weeks will go by, cause he's waiting for the part. If you take it upon your self and go to a marina, spend $20 on the part, then bring it to him, your engine all of the sudden is junk, but he has one to sell you 20HP weaker and your modern Mercury is replaced by a 1970's Johnson that will "run perfect in the spring." That will be the first year. The second year, the boat won't start, so you'll bring it back, and he'll want another $100 for a steering cable. But when he doesn't have room for it, he will just deliver it back and leave it in front of your garage, saying it runs fine. It will never start, so you can bring it back, but he will just keep leaving it in front of your garage. Finally, after the second year, he will give in, and admit the engine he sold you is no good, and install another one, this time 40 hp less than what you originally brought him with a dirty carburetor. After a week or 2 of that, he will bring the boat back and
leave it in front of your garage again, this time with no motor on it at all. So, if your a boat owner around the chain, and want to save gas money for the next few years, take your boat over to Hal, he'll fix you right up.
