I'm in Waldorf Md. Does anyone know of someone who is good and reasonable? I have a 95 GTX that is giving me problems..

I know someone to avoid: Maryland Offshore Performance in Rockville. They quoted me $506 to replace the reverse shift cable, and I provided the part! Took me 2 hours to change it myself, including a trip to the hardware store, and it was the first thing I've ever done to the boat. Now I work on the boat myself.

There are some guys that advertise on Craigslist that they will work on Sea Doos. Northern VA has a BRP dealer, Coleman Powersports. I haven't been there, but they were helpful with parts when I called.

thanks for the reply. The two that I have used either take forever to get the repair done or charge a ridiculous amount for the repair. There has to be someone out there working out of his garage who is reasonable and pretty quick on the turnaround. There's a Seadoo dealer out by Deep Creek lake that seems to know their stuff,,I've been tempted to drive the 3.5 hours to see how they are.

Here's a guy in the Fredericksburg area:

I've decided to learn how to work on it myself, using this forum as reference. People are quite helpful, if overboard on recommended rebuilds when it could be something simple.

sounds too good to be true. I'm going to definitely try him. Thanks for the heads up.

Sure, let me know how it works out.
