Wanaflatsfish Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I had heard John was a legend. I got to meet him on Tuesday. Dropped the skiff for an oil pump lever connector that was plastic and broke - go figure after 24 years I told john do a look over and let me know.... I picked up the skiff today..... WOW The bill fo $80 and that included him replacing the part, adjusting the lever, and he cleaned the engine to be sure there was not any oil leaking. He said he only charged me the the labor he performed.... I got the boat back, perfectly cleaned and on time. He could have charged me for 1.5 hours labor, etc. and I would not have know.... To Anyone in FLL, Miami, and North....he is worth the drive...... I had always been given great recommendations on his work.... I am happy to say all the "Props" are true...and i know where I'll be heading back to when it comes time to service the skiff on things I don't do myself.

Coto Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yes I concur I’m so glad Paul Conocean recommended him to me. He did a great job and a class act. I was sweating it there for a bit when I lost my master mechanic Kevin Mason and then I lost my back up mechanic at boat center when they closed down. John is my go to guy from now on.

MuddyBottomBluz Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm lucky, married into a family with a master outboard mechanic for a brother-in-law, been at it for over 40 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Dino, I'm glad you're just as happy at Maximum as Coto is! Nobody works on my engine other than John. Hopefully you two told John that I referred you so I get a freakin' discount on my next service!! 🤨😋 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my best friend, if you are going to buy a boat you must be one of two things, 1. mechanically inclined....big time, or 2. have lots of money to pay mechanics!!! I never thought about having an in-law mechanic as an option!!! In any case he was in the lots of money category, changing spark plugs whipped his rear!!
