SHOP RATE AT RAPID GRR

I HAVE BEEN A VERY LUCKY OWNER
I HAVE A 68 337 NORMAL
FIRST ANNUAL IN BOISE, 1987, INCLUDING REAR PROP OVERHAUL (ONE OVERHAULED BLADE) $9500.00
AFTER THAT I WORKED WITH A SHOP IN BURLEY, ID AND ANNUALS AVERAGED $2000.00 - $2500.00

CHANGED THE REAR ENGINE IN 97 FACTORY REMAN $25K + $3000.00 INSATLL INCLUDING THE ANNUAL FOR THAT YEAR.

SOMETIME AROUND 99 I TOOK IT TO A SHOP IN TWIN FALLS (HOMETOWN) AND THEY GOT ME FOR AROUND $6000.00 I REALLY GOT TAKEN BUT IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER SHOP TAKE A LOOK. THEY DID FIND A FEW ITEMS THAT HAD BEEN OVERLOOKED.

NEVER REALLY DID AN OWNER ASSIST. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA

SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE IN THE GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE ANNUAL PERFORMED $2425.00 TOOK MY PROPS OFF FOR OVERHAUL AND THEY WERE CONDEMNED. HENCE THE NEW MT COMPOSITES WHICH TOOK FROM JULY 2002 TILL JANUARY 2003 TO GET (WELL I DIDN'T ORDER THEM UNTIL AUGUST) AND SO NOW I'M GOOD UNTIL JAN 04.
I JUST HAD A STARTER ADAPTOR REPLACED ON THE FRONT $4139.00 INCLUDES A $2000.00 CORE WHICH I HOPE TO GET BACK.

SHOP RATE IN IDAHO AT BYI WAS $50
GREAT SHOP OUT THERE
