Ok I have had enough!!![mad] My boat has not seen water in 2 yrs!!! and it is one little problem that is holding it back now!!! I have a merc 1150 (115 hp) outboard. the problem is one of the hydrolic lines for the tilt is broken. I have priced to get it fixed and I have be quoted as much as $185 to fix it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could still use it, or any ideas of a good hydrolic hose place, I tried EVCO, but they were the most expensive!!!

Hey Polo sorry to hear your learning the boaters lessons. You can try any of the shops that work on construction equpiment. They always beat the heck out of the other guys.I don't recomend Wheelers they are a bit pricy in everything .... I think its that special yellow paint they use must cost a billion a gallon! Hope ya get the *little* things taken care of so ya can use that boat of yours. FB2 is looking at one himself ...... only he doesn't know it yet. MMan will that thing be a money pit LOL.

I have thought about selling the head ache and buy a medium sized pontoon with a electric motor on it. But I tend to get behind my boat from time to time to feel what it is like to be a fish caught on the troll. (wakeboarding). I enjoy taking people out on my boat definitely the girl friend!! ( when I got one!!!) I love the boat, and I am hoping that its days are not numbered. But a pontoon would be a blast too. Thanks for the advice for the construction equipment company, I think I will do that!!!

I am not too famillar with the salt lake area merchants but you might want to try the johndeer, greenline, or any other farm tractor stores. almost all of these types of stores can do the work and they will do it for a reasonable price.

Hey Polokid, you could try Smith and Edwards, just north of Ogden, on the way to Willard off I-15. They pretty much have everything you could EVER need, and they are pretty reasonable on the prices as well.

[#ff0000]I posted to your boating link. I have tried most of the suggestions listed here and the best for less was still Lindquist Auto. Happy Boating![/#ff0000]
