I bought my Ranger from Texas Marine when they were a Ranger dealer and had great experiences with the parts and service department. Always kept me in the loop as to what they were doing and what the cost would be. Not sure how they are now. Terry Reich would be the man to ask. I think he has had his new Skeeter in there 10 or so times for repair.
If you are looking for Yami work, I'd try Gullo in Huntsville.
That is where I take mine for work. They will get you in and out quickly. Took mine in Friday afternoon, water pump replacement and some other stuff, they called Saturday moring and said come get your boat.
not my favorit place, took mine to Huntsville as well. if your buying a boat lots of dealers out there no matter what type you get. usaully worth the drive or a look.
I bought my Ranger from them. My Ranger has had every little thing go wrong that can go wrong with a boat but the dealership actually took good care of me. I could take the boat in and tell them I had a tournament the next weekend and need the boat on Wednesday or Thursday night and they would move me ahead in line. I had one problem with the motor that they mis-diagnosed. For the most part they were really good. I wouldn't be afraid to buy a boat from them.
Give TMR a shot.I have had my boat there and am VERY happy with the personal service and work done.They are located on 105 and owned by great people,Tom and Meranela Roper.They have techs for Yamaha,Merc,Rude....You name it,they do it!Won't ever take any of my boats anywhere else and they are close to home.Seriously talk with Tom about your needs.
Tell tom I sent ya!

I have only dealt with Texas Marine one time and it was to order new nav and master switches for my skeeter and they got my switches ordered on a wed and in on a fri with no shipping fee. A guy named Jim or John helped me, guy behind the service desk with a gotee. He seemed very willing to help me get the right switches and had to research them and call me back with the estimate and let me pay over the phone.
