    Happy spring!

    With the thaw in full effect I’m getting the itch for open water!

    I have a 04 wetliner with the lovely merc 125 classic.

    Looking to get a few things done before I get it wet.

    1. Tune up – anyone got any merc places around the city that they would recommend?

    2. Floor boards – got a few soft spots. One under the passenger seat base and one by my front live well. Not sure if I should be contacting crestliner but wondering if anyone knows what it would cost to get it fixed at all or a place that would do it in the cities?

    3. Cover – got a custom snap canvas cover that has seen better days. Anyone know of someone who does good work and won’t break my bank account?

    Thanks again everyone!

    P.S. If anyone ever has an open seat in their boat and is fishing the river already, give me a shout! I’ll pay for gas!

    Maybe my issue is not as big a job as yours, but I just got a quote to replace the carpeting on my front and back decks. $2500 without replacing any wood

    I use Frahm Marine Werx & Motorsports great guy and very reasonable but you probably do not want to drive to Stewartville, MN.

    Tell those people to shove it. You can redo your entire wood decks plus carpet for the entire boat for that price.
