Texas Outboard Rebuild in 7 points. Good because they rebuilt a motor for me and it was flawless.

I think I would probably look into getting a factory rebuild.

Im sure youre looking for a cheap way out so you can post for sale and let the Next guy deal with it but no need to be rude to someone offering their advice

Which ones don't do what they advertise Before you get your panties in a wad it would help of you let us know what motor and what extent is the damage. In some cases the damage is too much to rebuild and a factory remanufactured is more cost effective.

And cant find someone to get it running good enough so he can stick some fool on Craigslist or some kid with daddys money

👍☹️ Getting a blown motor fixed is one of the most exasperating things there is to do. My issue is solved. I am just trying to find GOOD - REPUTABLE shops that others can use when they have the same issue Have a nice day !!!

I'd know where I'd go if it was a non direct injection Mercury 2.5 motor. Bobby but thats what he does really good.

Texas Outboard rebuilds is the only place that will get my business from now on. Very friendly and honest people and send photo updates of everything they do.

...OK.... since I started this thread, let me add to it. After much discussion, consternation, many telephone calls and internet searching ....... I went to Texas Outboard Rebuild in Tool (Cedar Creek area) they were not the cheapest (might be in the long run) but they were: 1.) knowledgeable 2.) reasonable priced 3.) friendly 4.) delivered on schedule 5.) provided work updates with pictures by email 6.) went over the entire repair when I picked it up 7.) went over further break-in and how-to operate the engine for desired best results
let's hope this ends this chapter of BUYING a USED BOAT ..... that thread is next

Just remember yours is not the only motor being worked on. 2 weeks is a normal turn time.
