Well what an ordeal I went through in the process of selling my boat.  I had a issue with my Mercury 250 XS motor - a primer/paint issue.  The paint was literally peeling off the motor.  Started last fall. Got bad real quick. Took to Mercury warranty dealer in Kemaha, TX. It stayed there 3 weeks and not one thing was done to it.  In the mean time, Chris Coulter of Chris's Marine casually mentioned that I bring down to Aransas Pass and he'd have it done in one day.  What! 

Keep in mind I had multiple people requesting to see this boat now that I placed it on the market as for sale.  The first couple people who wanted to see it were serious about it - they were patient about the fact that I was taking it to Aransas Pass to get warrenty work done on it.  They went down to Aransas Pass to view it and test ride in it the day I took down there... the day following the completion of the repair work the first guy who test drove it 5 days earlier purchased it... and I was worring about selling it. Go figure. 

Well, it's a big thing having 1 come off assembly line and another needing to be sold... haha... actually had 7 very interested people in that HO.  Had the enjoyable task to now telling them it was sold.

I have to say Chris Coulter of Chris's Marine made it happen... took care of the warrenty work in one day - all the paper work (title and warrenty transfers)... as well as hosted the buyer of my boat at his shop.  All while I was in Houston.  ETA is April 15... so not much fishing - but I've been out with my Redfish tournament partner locating them...
