Can any of you recommend a good outboard mechanic that might be willing to freshen up the top end of a 1996 Johnson 115? I don't think one of the larger shops will take it on as they want to sell me a new one. I was thinking there might be someone looking for some side work.

The motor runs but has low compression all around and weak power. I'd love for someone to do pistons and rings in it so we can get a few more years out of it instead of having to drop $12,000 on a new one.

Thanks in advance for your replies
