Ed, Hauling a boat all the way to Edenton to repair an IMF mechanism is a waste of time and resources. This is something that can easily repaired by the owner at his location.

If boat has trailer and you have a tow vehicle, buy boat if that is only issue. Then take boat to Edenton, North Carolina. (specifically to General Boats). Since you are about 600 miles from Edenton, that would be 1200 miles round trip. In today's world that is about $300+ in gas. So make appointment with Stan to stay at exclusive Spitzer Hilton. Go in your work clothes with tools. Let Stan take the workings out and see if parts need to be replaced, after all how old is it? If it needs a couple of parts, you get them installed and the checked out in the most knowledgeable and reputable way possible. Buy new lines that make it work, and will serve you for years. Yes this will costs a few shekels, but then this summer you know it will work. Also, since you will be supplying labor to Stan, he will make YOU work it correctly, kapish?
