I'm saying it's Raymond Roberts, he has the looks of someone that will do his best but will tell you off if your out of line. Tell me i'm wrong I had you looking like gabby hayes.

We salute The Master. I see there is not a great representation from the midwest. Our loss.

Re: cool yamaha site

its a tough test, I was worried that after I turned mine in Yamaha would never let me work on yamaha's again .we got a letter that there are currently 21 master techs in the US.
I figgure I got 5000 dollars tied up in that shirt.
then they misspelled my name .
I hope more techs qualify.
so far Yamaha is taking the training program seriously.

Re: cool yamaha site

nah, my artheritis lets me know each day how many hours I spend working.
its why I intend to retire or at least semi retire this year.
but the tech at the marina in Rio Chico Venezuela likes the training and tools I take there.
in fact I am headed south for a 10 day vacation towards the end of the month
I can hear some tarpon and snook hollering for me
but when they close on this property I can see a walkabout to Austrialia

Re: cool yamaha site

Congratulations Rodbolt! You have helped a great many people on this site and the certificate and shirt only
officially verify what we already knew.

I only wish our town had someone as half as skilled as you are with Yamaha.

Re: cool yamaha site

Great job rodbolt. I thought I met you before, now I'm sure. I don't know if you remember me or not. My friend and I were very impressed with your shop and the detail you guys take explaining things to customers. We were talking about you guys yesterday.

Re: cool yamaha site

Congrats Rodbolt!....But if you retire, I hope you'll continue on these forums, it means a great deal to us do-it-yourselfers to have the voice of a guy who really knows about these motors! I still think you should start up the "Rodbolt School" for outboard motors. Guys like me would take a few days and a few dollars to drive up and get educated on these motors! You could get rich! Good Luck!....

Re: cool yamaha site

My guess is Thomas Beacham as Wanchese is close to Kitty Hawk... congratulations Rodbolt and thanks for your previous (and no doubt future) help.
