    You might try Dick Simon Marine in Dana Point.

    Call Wilkes Marine in Santa Ana. Straight-up no BS guy with quick turn-around.

    Good- Dick Simon
    Bad- Jim Wilkes in Santa Ana- the guy (Jim) will tell you on the phone you can have it back next week, then after you drop it off, EXCUSES and EXCUSES will follow. You will be be real lucky to get it back in less than a month. And the motor might not be fixed. Stay away from Wilkes.

    Advanced Marine in Costa Mesa. I took my boat in for a new water pump on Tue. morning, got it back Tue. afternoon. He rebuilt my lower unit last year, so far so good.

    ex con,
    What really happend ? Parts, Pay or did you keep adding to the list of things to do, etc...
    What you outlined is simply not how Wilkes has managed to stay in business for over 30 years with happy & Loyal customers ... Do you think Hot Boat would contract with a guy like that in which you describe ???...yeah.... I didnt think so....

    Waldo- before you tow the boat to Wilkes, just drive there and see for yourself what a dive the place is, boats in the street on the side, everywhere- Wonder how many of them "should have it next week" Just see it for your self. While that mess is fresh in your head- hook up the boat and go to Dick Simon!!!!!!
    Carbonmarine- ***boat "contracting" with a guy like that- hey dude nothing surprises me anymore it means nothing...

    Thanks guys! I'll try calling the above mentioned places first.
    Beer Hunter, we've lived in Ladera for over a year and love it. We are about 2 minutes from you. We are @ Antonio and Avendale (just south of Crown Valley). We just got back from a 10 day trip in Parker. Saw a boat similar to yours...were you guys there?
