    Took my boat to Michael Reakus marine repair for an oil leak,I was told that I needed an Oil pan and the motor had to be removed,After agreeing to have it done,it took a couple weeks.I had the boat for about a week and the engine coupler blew apart,being about 20 miles from my dock we had to be towed back by Tow Boat US .So the motor had to be pulled again,the coupler blew because it wasn't aligned right when they reinstalled my motor,So the motor had to come back out,after paying over $2000 the first time he denied any fault on his behalf and charged me another $1200.About a month later I had oil in my bildge again,They pulled the engine and said it was there fault that the pan gasket was leaking and said that they fixed it at no cost to me.So we put the boat back in the water and still had an oil leak in the bildge,he told me that it now was the timing chain cover leaking that I needed a new cover and that he had to again pull the engine to do the job.So I gave him the boat to do the job over the winter,costing me another $1975 dollars,so I reluctantly Paid again.Put the boat in the water and it ran like ****,so I called him and he sent his son to check the boat out,when he opened the engine hatch he found a lot of water in the bildge and after messing with the automatic float pumped out the water,and started working on the boat trying to figure out why it was popping like a misfire.He couldn't find the problem and left not telling me or his father about the water in the boat,when I came down to the boat and opened the engine hatch,the water was over my water pump pulley and it was sea water apparently they broke the y pipe when pulling the motor and it was sea water coming into the boat,So the motor had to come back out of the boat again now 4 times in a years time .Now everything that was under salt water had to be replaced,starter,alternator,both fuel pumps,battery cables ,battery selector switch,oil and filter, sparkplugs,and float switch they broke,,
