Well, after a few hours of looking at replacement outboards for our boat, Kim showed us the many options available. Very professional and was willing to accommodate our needs. After a long conversation and recommendations, we decided to go with a new Outboard that suits our Boat. We have booked it in and will always recommend Hodge Marine to anyone that requires personal service. Dave and Deb
