Hello all, I am looking for a good mechanic in the midlands area of SC. motor has a cracked block and want a professional look at it for my options and cost of replacement.

Looks like it’s gunna go to the shop and see what kinda quote they throw at it and just do it the “right” way....boat didn’t cost me anything so if it cost a good bit it’ll b a worth while investment

Thank you! Can’t beat the weather down in SC except the summer heat at times!!

Hello all! My name is Brad and I am new to the forum. I just sold my 1997 Scout and was gifted a 1999 Sea Ray 210 from my family who never uses it. Boat does need alittle work, which is how I came across this forum, I am happy to see all the great discussions and be a part of the group!
