The bill is in, but it still won't start!

WTF??
I got the bill for "repairs", a bit over $1,200.  After looking it over, I realized that I am being WAAAAAAAY overcharged.  And yesterday I tried to start the engine, with no results.  The new starter cranks the engine just fine, but nothing else happens.

I got a call from the shop owner on Monday, the 20th, telling me it was "fixed"...after replacing the starter, he said the boat would not start.  So, he replaced the ignition coil, the distributor cap, the rotor and the electronic module beneath the rotor.  Basically half a tune-up, minus spark plugs and wires. So, how much would a reasonable person pay for a tune-up?

How about $716???? How about three hours of labor charge?  Really?  my seven-year old daughter could change out the coil, distributor cap, rotor and ignition module in under an hour, maybe 90  minutes.  Never mind all this was done without my consent; I was told about this after the work was done.

So far, I got a crappy carb rebuild (took 3 tries) and half a tune-up for a bill of $1216.  Completely unsatisfactory, except for one little detail...

It still does not run!!!
