I am not looking to spend 7-8k on the boat right now for a repower. I read about nwflorida outboard repair. They want around 2500 to do a complete rebuild. Any knowledge of them or other recommendations? 1984 Montauk

He's around 70 and has a couple of acres of parts boats and outboards datingback to creation...you can't go wrong with him. Even living in Atlanta, I would not hesitate towing my rig to his place. Now you're gonna be upset...I haven't used him in five years and can't remember the name of the place...the man has a real different type name, but I'd bet if you call the St. Marks BBB or C of C they could hook you up...good luck. 1989 Montauk 17 w 1989 Johnson 90

I have been boating my whole life and with the exception of one alcohol induced romp with no oil in the gas I've never blown a motor. I'm afriad you are having more fun than me, cause according to my wife I spend too much having fun!!

I have gone through a few nice props, a skeg or two and one lower unit but never have completely blown one up from the inside. That Ethanol stuff is bad for motors weather it be in the tanks or behind the controls! I would go with the 70 year old guy in a NY minute as long as you don't need it now and want the job done right! He is probably a wealth of information and will be happy just making some side cash and doing it right for you. Gary
