Good marine shop in Edmonton?
I just need to pick up a couple small items (spark plugs, Mercury Powertune spray stuff) for my ol 9.9hp Merc and maybe ask a little advice depending on who I end up talking to.
Gonna be in both the South and West ends of the city this morning, and St. Albert a little later.
Where should i go?

I completely do not recomend the crooks at Marine Madness. I will not go into why, needless to say they will never receive business from anyone of my friends or family again.

Guys, I've tried Barry J's -- and won't ever go back.
If you're in the west end, try Recreational Power Sports (14980 114 Ave NW). Kinda in an unusual location, but... I've bought a prop, equipment to change my trailer to a bunk style, and other boat stuff there, and very happy with the service, free advice, and prices.

Not sure when you were in Barry Jays but apparently the ownership changed a little while ago. I just bought my boat here and I was very happy with how they treated me. That said, I haven't used the service side of the shop to date.

X 2 for Edmonton Marine Services. I have been taking my boat there for 2 years. Fair price and great service. Had a problem at Gull Lake last year and nobody in Red Deer could figure out what I needed. I phoned Jack at EMS he gave the part number off the top of his head I took it into Red Deer Uncle Bens Bingo right number right part and back on the lake in an hour and a half.

Supreme Marine in St. Albert.
They're great. I've never met a more friendly and customer service oriented bunch than the guys that work there. They know their stuff too, they've been around a long time. I'd highly recommend them.

I've tried quite a number - Shipwreck I find expensive. Barry Jays sold me batteries that lasted only one season and a boat seat that took three times to correct.
The dealer that gets my money for both parts and service now, is Free Spirit Marine - 9930 - 65 Ave NW Edmonton. Ph (780)436-7830.
I don't go anywhere else after getting crappy service elsewhere.
