Need Outboard mechanic near Gainesville

[bldale08]

I've got a really old 8 horse outboard (Johnson,I think). I need a good outboard mechanic somewhere near Gainesville. Just trying to get advice from guys around here and see if I can get a mechanic that won't rip me off. I called one place here and he estimated over 400$ on the phone without even looking at it.

Post what's wrong w/it....
I've worked on all my own outboards (except when there is a lower unit issue).

In for details. Eventually I'll just need one to do a service.
