Looking to get a few things done to my boat and wanted to get a few quotes. Who else should I call besides front to back?

David Wade Marine.
I don't post much, but had to give them a shout out. They do a heck of a good job and are great to work with.

Front to back is sometimes also known as the trolling motor shop, right? I believe so. They are expensive, but otherwise do pretty good work. I had 1 complaint from them. I had them remove a talon anchor pole from my transom and install a jackplate mounted power pole. Instead of taking the time to unhook the talon from the battery and pull the cords, they just cut it at the most easily accessible place in the transom. That's extremely lazy for the price I paid. That talon was still worth almost a grand. I pulled the wires and wire nutted them back together and sold the talon for around 800 if I recall correctly.

I brought mine to greenwell springs marine the next time I needed work and they did a good job and I thought were very well priced. They changed out all of my throttle cables. Lately they have a 2 week lead time. You call them and tell them you want on the waiting list. They will call you within 2 weeks and tell you to come drop your boat off.

I've taken mine to Charlie Ward's Outboard and have been happy with the work and advice I've gotten.

Front to Back can’t seem to fix the issue with my dads trolling motor despite being there several times and them taking weeks to get it back to me.

Ours has issues with spot lock, but main problem with ours is the damn wireless remote not reaching from behind the console.
