    Had some holes in the hull of my boat and the guys at landcraft marine fixed them for a great price. Very honest and great work!

    It can be hard to find outboard motor parts in my part of northern Illinois. You can always order…read moreparts online, but only if you have time for shipping. I called several marinas and nobody had my needed impeller in stock. But Heritage did! Its a pretty old business in a building that could use a little work, but having the part you need when you need it for a fair price is all that matters, really.

    I own a small vintage boat with a 1957 Evinrude 35hp Big Twin outboard that had been sitting for a…read morecouple of years. I took it out of mothballs and wanted to get it tuned up and running, but was having trouble getting it started. There aren't many shops that work on old outboards, so after a couple of calls, I found these guys, who claim that old motors are their specialty. I drove an hour to take them my boat, and they said they'd get back to me in a couple of days. The place is an old cinderblock building, with old stuff piled everywhere - Dirty, disorganized, and totally run-down. I should have run for it then... A week went by before they finally called to say that my starter was bad, and that they couldn't even determine if the motor would run until they replaced it, which would cost "around 5-600$. This is an expensive horse you're riding", the owner told me. Their cost for a starter - $239.00. I had a spare starter which they refused to use. I found an NOS one online for $150, but they wouldn't use that either. Finally I said never mind, and they began to call me and bug me about coming to get my boat. I commute 3 hours a day during the week, which I explained to them when I dropped it off, and said I'd be back on the next weekend to get my boat. I got 2 calls in 2 days telling me it had to go. Finally I got down there and picked it up, and they charged me $89 for labor just to (supposedly) determine that the starter was bad. I also got a flat tire from pulling into their junk-strewn yard. So next I took it to a trusted member of the Antique Outboard Club, which I only found existed after all this. The guy they recommended spent a day on it, charged me $125 to get it running perfectly, and said that there was NOTHING wrong with the starter AT ALL! Once it was cleaned and tuned, it was FINE. "An expensive horse", eh, boys? Nonsense. And when the screw holding the case was removed, dirt fell out, indicating that Heritage probably hadn't even OPENED the motor to make the misdiagnosis! So, I'm only out $89, but if I had trusted these cranky old shysters, I could have spend well over $600 for who-knows-what! DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE with your vintage or antique boat! Go to the Antique Outboard Motor Club and find a reputable mechanic!
