The only service I have needed in 3 years (not counting windshield spread) has been winterizing. I have a guy come to the house, [email protected].
I have been happy with him so far. He came out to do the winterize and I asked him to check the gland packing. He had to take the clamshell off and remove some screws in the floor, then got a huge channel locks and tightened it up for me.
He was not going to charge me for any of that beyond normal winterizing.
Performance Marine in Wayzata area (where boat was purchased) has closed. Forrest Lake Motor Sports is now handling Moomba, but have not gone up there yet.
You can also take a look at Midwest Waterski in Hopkins. That is where I bought my last two skis and almost a used Moomba, but I got a better deal from a private party.

About 21 years ago I used to run their Family Ski night which is where I learned to ski the course. Skiied with Dave and Cindy Benzel.
Maybe we will see you there next spring if I decide to pop for a slot on the lake.
ED - My wife is ready to book the trip right now. Although I don't think a couple of passes through the course qualifies me as an instructor.
If you ware interested, I would check out McGinnis Water Ski School ( http://www.mcski.com/ ) in Fort Lauderdale. A great Private Lake facility right in townn off the freeway.
If you are serious about wanting pointers - it may be possible.
