There has been a furry of threads regarding boat service and thought I would share a great recent experiance with the company that services my boat.
Ron Gibbs owner of Bad Attitude Boats in Parker has been servicing/ maintaining my boat for years now. His work is first class, on time and he is always accessible. My wife and I recently completed building a new home above Topock and here is where the story begins...
I had an winter service done to my boat which was completed the same weekend we moved into our new home. Ron realized we had our hands full moving in and personally delivered our boat to us at 10:00 PM on a Friday night so we could boat the next day. Keep in mind that we no longer live in Parker, we are above Topock, and that is over a 60 mile drive each way.
The few weekends later we are boating on a Saturday and I lost water pressure to one of my motors. A call to Ron that evening and he is on his way to our home to perform the repair. He gets to our home at 11:00 PM and completes the repair at 2:30 AM while we are sleeping. Leaves early the next morning so he can open his shop.
This is the kind of personal touch I experiance all the time from Ron and wanted to pass it on.
Ron can be contacted at Bad Attitude Boats at 928 669 8870

The guy goes out of his way like that and you hit the sack while he wrenches on your boat or did I read that wrong? :confused:

I thought maybe he linked several typos and meant something else..........those chain typos can totally change the meaning of a post.

Nope, fed him dinner at 1:30AM however. Fired up the BBQ and the wife made some sides. We then crashed at 2:00 AM while Ron finished things up on the boat...
