    Guys looking for a good place in the Peoria area to work on my older Mercury outboard. Was hoping someone had a recommendation. Thanks in advance!

    Couple of places.

    Bass Pro sells Mercury and from what I can tell services them too. Never used there services so I don't know how good they are, or cost.

    IMHO- this guy is great.

    Place is a Morton building packed full of old boat motors/parts. He tuned up my '57 Johnson last year. Couple of my wife's uncles recommended him to me. One man shop, leave a message and he will call you back. He's been in business a long time.
