First time posting on this forum after discovering it this morning.
I am seeking help with a big mess.
An outboard mechanic, who is helping me clean up a mess after my previous mechanic died half way through my rebuild, said to me that he had never seen an quote for this job even close to what the guy that passed was charging me. [Yes, I gave him money for a down payment on the work, and now am in legal with the family. No need to educate me there.].
I'm just seeking some free opinion on whether this guy was milking me. This is my first "Bigger Boat" and I regrettably don't know what work like this goes for, and he came recommended by a long standing marine store.
My boat has these outboards:
2001 225hp Mercury Saltwater Optimax XXL
2004 225hp Mercury Saltwater Optimax XXL
Any help would be appreciated,
Chum
