Looking for a shop near Riverside to service the boat. Tune the engine and service the drive. Just don't have time for me to do it. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Some of the old eliminator guys opened a shop in riverside. Van Buren/Jurupa area. Don’t know the name though.

A few suggestions for you to consider,
Both Eliminator and Shockwave boats ought to be able to get your engine type taken care of properly for you as they offer good service.

Good luck with any SoCal Boat Mechanic.
Most are typically backlogged 4-5 months.

If they aren’t, and their competitors are, then you should be asking why?

I've used gt performance in the past with no issues. Replaced seals in the drive, check the gears while it was apart, Compression and leak down.

Elite Marine is right there in riverside. I like that old school New Zealand guy, he's pretty damn funny if you get talking to him. Runs a clean shop and isn't as backlogged as the big boys.

He did great work on my Commander a few years ago, even let me come back later in the offseason to use his boat lift while I got my trailer repaired.

It’s called Integrity Marine Group. If you think they don’t know what they are doing they just did this boat. Even Bob Teague commented that they did a real nice job.

I’d highly recommend Fear and his guys.

Prime Marine hands down, Mikey and his team are top notch and do excellent work.

Doug at Elite Marine in riverside retired around the beginning of the year... At times there's a bunch of cars in there now when driving by. Him and Rob of QPM where about the same in age/opening their shops early 90's in Corona before Elite moved to W La Cadena Dr, Riverside.

Elite would only work on factory motors when I went by there awhile ago.
Anyone have contact for Fear's shop. That's literally down the street from me. I have the others big name contacts.
