BR,
I have to wonder whether Fay's Speed Limit support may be the true cause of your trouble with them. That is fine, but if it is the case you really should have just been honest about it, said it plainly, and posted this in the "anti-SL" threads. I wonder if what you are really trying to accomplish is to dissuade people from patronizing a speed limit supporting marina (Fay's) and instead push them towards one that opposes the speed limit (Irwins).
Going elsewhere with your business to make your political point is your right and is admirable. Asking others to avoid them because of their political persuasion is also fair, they put themselves in this position knowing of this risk. But if you are trying to besmirch their professional reputation and challenge the quality of their work just because they have a different political stance than yours, that would be underhanded and shameful.
I mainly patronize Fay's when my own marina, Meredith, is too busy or unable to help. I have known Merrill since we were kids and they are all very knowledgeable and helpful. Where else can you go and pick up a used $100 outdrive part for $10? Where else can you get a professional marine mechanic to climb into and listen to your engine, go for a ride, and give you a cause-guess and repair estimate, all for nothing? I "lean" towards the marina's that helped us get the speed limit as my small way of thanking them, but I believe all of the Lake's mechanics are competent and professional and would certainly never stoop to insulting their competence and professionalism over their opinion on something so irrelevant to the two. I really hope that is not what you are doing here.
