Agree with both of you and LIforrelaxin... plus living on an island means my boat is a necessity to be running well and there when I need it...

Over the years I have had exceptional service from Y-Landing and Dave Hamblet his team there. The Eastern is always ready to go, and if I ever have any issues they jump on them and fix it.

Could I pull my boat in November and wash it, change the fluids, cover it up for the winter, and then tune it up in the spring? yep... but would it run and look as good and be in the water right after ice-out? probably not! For my peace of mind and convenience... Y-Landing earns every penny!

Speaking of ice-out... melt, melt, melt!! -PIG
