But you said you’ve been satisfied with their work in the past. If you don’t want to invest any money maybe you could keep one and use the others as payment.

The way it goes, is you pay or don't!! The law is in his favor, so a lawsuit is out. You can pay the bill and sell. OMC (outdoor Marine Corp.) went out of business many years ago, and parts are real hard to find, and some are expensive. The cost is very expensive for any of the sizes in today's marketplace. So it goes back to the 'pay or don't'. As many said take them and sell them, but it might take some time for all three to sell. What price did you think he was going to charge?

I’d talk to the owner & ask why you weren’t called. Ask about a $ adjustment because you weren’t called, let him/her know you were disappointed they didn’t call & pay. As others have mentioned “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.”

I went there today and picked up the motors. We talked about harvesting maple sap for syrup, the weather,and the upcoming summer season. I wrote him a check and was on my way! Another chapter written in the story of my life. Focusing on what really matters. Built a rack to hold them upright until I decide what to do. Thank you all for your advice! Appreciated!

Thanks for the update T. I'm sure you will make the right moves. The advice about firing them up every so often, a good one.
