Forgot to mention, I don't know anything about Marine Power Outfitters, other than buying gas at New River, I've never done much with them. I wouldn't take anything to Swan Point Marina. I knew Tommy Yopp, but I understand he's out of the business due to health issues. There a couple places in Hampstead that have decent reps, theres one on the right heading South as you get in Hampstaed, my wife knows the owner( I cant remember the name), I don't know about their work though. I've known Chris Jones(Jones Marine in Hampstead) for probably 30 years, but only recently found out he's running that dealership. A friend of mine that has a place around the bend from Chadwick bay deals with Marker 17 in Wilmington. Ive talked with them, they didn't impress me much. If you have to go that far, Bell Hart in Wilmington has some good people. I used to work with the service manager, and have dealt with them for years. I used to buy all my Mercury stuff from them till Mercury stopped drop shipping
