Mr. Arrington, My son and I are huge fans of your show. When I seen you bring the Carolina skiff to be redone it has been a dream of mine to re due our J14. I spend literally everyday on the water. I take everyone out fishing from kids to vets to just someone that has never been. I have such a passion for being on the water and doing what I do. I am a Fulltime father and work fulltime and I know my boats not that big but I have done so much to it that almost everything on it has been rebuilt or I put new on when I can. It has a new trailer and a custom deck put on it that I really enjoy but was done by someone that did not have a ton of experience and needs to be redone. I currently have a Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke that I have rebuilt and done just about everything to keep it running full speed all the time. Im in the works of getting my captain's license and hope to run charters full time one day, as of now I fish either before work or after. I have turned so many people on to the water life that I get more enjoyment from showing others how to fish. I am writing you because I would like to get in touch with trustworthy boat mechanics and someone to redue my deck and would like to find a 50hp motor thats reliable. Please if you would contact me so I can get a fair quote into getting it atleast running right fulltime and fixing the soft spot in the deck. Thank u so much for all your great videos. I look forward to speaking with you. Sincerely Zachary @ Blackbirdfpvfl@gmail.com
