Highway 14 Marine

Since Im about to retire from the U.S. Navy, I thought it would be grand if we started my own Navy… Ill call it G&K’s Navy, and well ROCK! To get the ball rolling, one would logically deduct, a Navy would need ships, so I bought an old jon boat and motor from a guy, its a 1963 set up and Im stoked about it!
The Johnson 10hp outboard has been sitting a little over a year, so I wanted to rebuild the carburetor and replace the plugs. I looked around and the rebuild kits ranged from 16 bucks online delivered to 50 bucks from a business in Memphis that clearly sells gold plated carb rebuild kits DIRT CHEAP. A buddy of mine said, «check out that place up yonder on 14, hes got bunches of boats, cant miss it»…so, I did.
This is the place where boats in the Memphis area go to die… seriously, I bet the dude has like 300 out there. A boat junkyard… that place has more boats than Carter’s has liver pills. If this place was closer to Iran, they’d have a much larger Navy. The perfect place for a budding Naval force such as mine.
Another thing he has is great prices in my opinion. I paid him a grand total of 16.38 for my kit, and Im probably gonna go back and see what else I can rustle up out there in the boat-​afterlife-​heaven place he has there. The point im making is that his little country boat shop is actually competing with the internet, AND keel-​haulin those other guy’s prices to boot.
I dont recommend that you start your own Navy, as ours is MUCH more established right now and youll never hope to challenge for the high ponds. But I do recommend that you give him a chance to have your business. Call, drive out there… whatever, give the guy a shot. You gotta respect someone that doesnt jack the prices just because hes out of the way. Very knowledgeable guys.
Thanks for reading, and know that you can sleep safer now that G&K’s Navy is patroling the waters thanks to Highway 14 Marine.
