Boat service recommendation

Anyone have any good recommendations on taking a boat in for some general service stuff around BR?
Ive got an old aluminum Hanko, 17ft with an old yamaha 115hp ProV1 on it that was given to me recently. It has no batteries and looks like all the wiring has been messed up, and i'm sure the motor hasn't been run in some time but there's still gas in the gas tank. I simply don't have the time to get it ready to be in the water with how much i've been traveling so looking for a place i can bring it in where they can handle the electrical and go through the motor and make sure it's in good condition.

For a Yamaha I’d try Breaux and Daigle in Pierre part first, little out of the way, but they do good work.

Bobby Miller owner of Anchor Management. Hes the only person i trust to do honest work.
Greenwell Springs Marine tried invoicing me for duplicate items and they "didnt catch it" until i questioned it.

I don’t know if David Wade services Yamaha- but I hear they are very good. I have an appointment there tomorrow to get my boat serviced and so far, the professionalism that I’ve had with them over the last year has been great.

Be prepared if it needs new wiring it costs a fortune. But a real PITA so it was worth it to me

The basspro service center is the hidden gem of boat repair/service. They're shop rate is about what everyone else charges $110/hr, but they'll give you the # of hours up front when you drop it off so there's no BS labor charges

He does. I’d either use them or Outcast in Des Allemands. Had some work done at Boat Stuff as well and they did a good job too.

Yup. But a good wiring job done the right way is priceless and well worth the investment.
