Recommended mechanic? - Spokane WA/Sandpoint ID

Hi all. Looking for recommendations for a marine mechanic or shop to help me inspect a used v-drive boat prior to purchase. Currently looking for a used Centurion or Tige in Eastern Washington or Idaho (Spokane to Sandpoint, or thereabouts). I'm located on Christina Lake BC, just a few hours north of Spokane.

If anyone knows of a Tige 22v or Cent Avy for sale around 35k, send links or PMs my way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. I value a word-of-mouth recommendation from the forum much more than a random google search!

Rob.

Give Chuck a call. After struggling for many years with dealers up there, I have found him to be the best and most detailed. 509-534-2700. Tell him Bryan from Portland recommended him.

I second chuck at Sundance Marine. Fantastic mechanic, who is reasonable and honest, two thing hardly seen in the mechanics world.

OK thanks Lionel and Bobby. Also got a PM from Duffy. Anyone else with boat links or mechanic recommendations, please fire them my way.

Thanks!!

Don't know if he does surveys but Steve at I-90 marine east in Crescent Bar is good . Google boat surveyors, there are probably some in the area.
