Boat mechanic?

Does anyone know of a good boat mechanic that does work on the side? I bought a used boat that has twin Mercruiser 5.7 liter engines (350 cu in). The motors were froze and I managed to free them up and get them to spin over. I have not started them up yet (where the boat is on the trailer, I do not have access to water hose.) but thought I could find a good boat mechanic who could check out the whole boat for me and get her ready for next years boating season.

I have a guy

Where are you located? I have a boat mechanic that replaced the seals on my outdrive this summer as a side job. He's over by Newburg. PM me if you are interested, and I will give you his number. Can't put his name out in the open 'cause if his work found out, it'd cause him trouble. Ya know what I'm sayin?

My boat is in the Prince Frederick area currently. Will Trailer it to my lot in Lusby once I get the lot excavated and driveway put in.

Guess that's a little far for ya to travel. If you change your mind, let me know. He charged me 300.00 to change the seals (I provided the seals - $100.00), and Rick's Marine (only place that I could find that works on OMC) wanted $1000.00.

quite a savings

That is quite a savings there by having it done on the side. If I took it to a marina, they would put a hurting on my wallet.

Ain't that the TRUTH! Then they would bend you over and tell you to squeal like a pig! (Sorry Christy)
