Can anyone recommend a good (honest and affordable) mechanic near Raleigh/Lake Jordan area who will work on a 1989 Force 125HP outboard on my Bayliner Cobra 1804? I've followed a few threads and seen lots of recommendations, but when I call them, none work on motors that old, or the Force engines. I had a bad experience with one shop (remains nameless) who went through the engine and charged $400+ in repairs, but when I went to the lake, it never ran well. I spent all last season trying little things myself, with guidance from this and other forums, but I'm just not mechanical enough. So, I'm biting the bullet to try and get this running for the season, but I don't want to invest more than the engine is worth in repairs. I am cheap and this is a cheap boat. I don't mind driving 50-60 miles from Raleigh for a highly recommended mechanic. Thanks!
