Does anyone know where I can get work done on my 1979 V6 2-Stroke Mercury, it needs its carbs rebuilt or new carbs, its my first boat and my fear is taking it to a shop and getting ripped off since i don't know much

Call Spanky and he will come to your house, he shouldn;t be to far from where you are at. Someone will show up shortly with his contact info.

If I were you I would`nt say that when you talk to the shop. Tell them its not running right and you need them to see whats wrong then call me with repair estimate first. You may have already been ripped off.

I ended up contacting Spankys Outboard repair and he did an amazing job. Great knowledge on outboards, amazing work done, and unbeatable price! Id recommend him to anyone!
