Grand River and Lake Erie fishing boats are most of what we see: outboard-powered, trailerable, ready to fish. We can check the compression, the fuel and cooling system, and the hull before you buy, take your current boat in trade, or keep watch for the right one. Call the shop for what's available now, and ask about a pre-purchase inspection on anything you're eyeing privately.
What you get
- Full mechanical diagnostic
- Electrical and fuel system testing
- Cooling system pressure and flow checks
- Itemized written estimate before repair
