There is only one place to take a boat in your neck of the woods. in my opinion.
Henson's Dry Dock. He's over off of Chicago, behind woody's and down the street a ways.
Through the years (about 20) I have used dang near every boat dealer in canyon county. some are not even in business anymore. Tri state used to be one of my fav's, but they have always had issues. Now they are more of an archery shop? Western has never really did me wrong, but they are expensive! And don't get me started on Minor's... That one Skeeter place in Caldwell used to be good, if you could wade through the stuck up BASS guys to talk to Marv.
I am dating my self, ain't I?
Here is one recent expiereince: 2 weeks ago, I was in Boise buying a boat and had an issue. I called tri state and told them what was going on. over the phone they told me what was wrong, quoted me 300.00. and if i hurry they could "squeeze" me in. didn't have a real good gut feeling about it, so i called Henson's. i was in a hurry, had to be back to Utah, in less than 2 days, and needed the boat fixed. i would have called Lynn first, but figured no way he could fit me in his schedule.
My old friend Lynn fixed me up, over night, for 80.00.
Sorry about that rant, i don't have any info on Idaho Marine. Did they take over the old Tracker dealer?
Anyway, boats and boat dealers can be the biggest source of frustration and pain!. Godd Luck and I hope it all works out.
