Grass Hopper,

Maybe in that post you should make it known that you are a salesman for Doug's, who in turn is a custom weld dealer? Not trying to antagonize you, but your opinion is very much wanted! But, people really need to know that your opinion might be a little one-sided?

Troutmaster (Jim),

We have had always at least one current,certified tech,which we both know is all that is required, right now Jeremy is current on his cert, and you know that he knows his product very well. Dave Lee, as you and I both know, isn't current on his certification, but is one of the most knowledgable jet mechanics around. But, it is a little hard for the owner to service boats while he is running his business. Dave Liddel, is no longer current on his certification, but you and I know Liddel has been doing outboard work for 25 plus years! And is absolutely awesome! I don't know anyone at Mercer, and I am sorry you no longer work here. Matter of fact, I really miss our trout stories! So, you NEVER see myself or anyone else here at 3 Rivers, bashing you or where you now work...... So lets keep this clean and talk about the important things. Where the hell are the fishies?
