Hi jetboaters,
Does anyone know of and can refer me to a good Yamaha jetboater mechanic to do a pre purchased survey in the Charlotte NC area?

And the bonus question...Anyone has a list of specific things to check on a 2009-2012 boat models/engines etc. For 240 and 242 models.

Thanks as always for your help.

I had Lake Norman Marina complete the pre-purchase on mine. Back then, they were a Yamaha Dealer. They got to it right away, provided results for the checks I specified including compressions and I was able to launch it there afterwards to take for a test drive before handing over the money to the seller. It is hard to say if they may still know more than the newer (current) dealers but they do have a preowned AR195 for sale right now, so they might still know Yamahas.
 
Marine Max are the Yamaha dealers in that area, don’t know if they would provide that service. If it were my business, I would as it could lead to sales leads for new later on.
 
Where is the boat located in Charlotte? Lake Wylie Marina (MarineMax) is the dealer down here on Lake Wylie and Hall Marine Lake Norman (MarineMax) up on Lake Norman.
 
Boat is outside of Charlotte region west on 85. So trailering it either way or getting a mechanic to come to the boat. I'll give em both a call. thx
