Looking at buying a Arima with a outboard on it and need someone to check it out and give me an evaluation of its shape.
who do you guy\gals like? Im in the Bothell area.
Thanks for your responses :p

Three Rivers Marine and Tackle is close and should be able to do you right.

There is an Arima/Yamaha/Honda dealer in Everett and Performance Marine in almost next door and they used to handle Arima and sell Suzuki and Merc, I think.

Might check Norm's outboard repair in Edmonds (425) 670-0840. We (Boaters World in Everett) refer alot of people his way and I haven't heard anything negative about his work or prices.

Try powerboats plus just off mukilteo speedway.

Cant go wrong with 3 rivers marine and tackle. 425-415-1575

How much does 3rivers pay for all them recommendations? How many of you actually had them do work for you? Just wondering

I recommend 3 Rivers for many reasons. I have had them help me on two occasions with outboard repairs. They went the extra mile. I also like the people there and they do a ton for our fisheries and our sport. They are proactive and seem to be genuinely interested in the customer. Service in our country sucks in general so when someone goes the extra mile for you, "the customer" it is refreshing and unfortunately rare. Lots of other shops and people out there that are honest and capable but sometimes hard to find.

I've used 3 rivers a couple of times and was quite happy with them the first time. Had a bit of a problem the last time but they stood by their work and made it right. I would recommend them to anyone!

Olympic View Marine, Darryl or Dave will take care of ya.

Sky Valley Marine in Monroe. Never had a problem with anything they have done for me. 360-794-4116-mainly a mercury shop, but can do anything. Very fair.

Steves Marine. On this board as steelheaddude. Did work for me and some of my friends. Great work @ FAIR prices. Found a problem on my 175 Merc that 3 other big name boat places couldn't but were willing to charge me an arm and a leg. You won't go wrong with this guy.
