Engine Reboring Service

[newtong_ware]

I am in the Atlanta, GA area and I cannot beleive it, but I am coming up empty on machine shops that can handle outboard engine service. The one repair shop that listed the service told me when I visited today that "everyone in this area sends them out". He is talking $50 per cylinder. Two weeks turn-around.

I have sent emails to one or two companies that I googled up, but got no response.

Can someone put me in touch with a reliable shop that I can ship my '76 Johnson 115etl block to for reboring?

Money is a consideration, but not the only one. Quality and reliability mean a lot.

Thanks,
Newt

Ron's Marine & Equipment, Inc. in Portsmouth Virginia has a good reputation.

Phone: (865) 475-4511

I just called the other day for pricing on mine. $48/cylinder for boring. Without me mentioning it, he asked if I wanted to champfer the ports or have him do it - $12/cylinder.

As always, thanks for the info. I'll naturally be drawn to the TN location since it is much closer to home. But will followup with both as needed.

Thanks again.

Re: Engine Reboring Service

Champfering the ports is part of the boring & honing job. It should not be charged for seperately. I'd strongly suggest Mar-Fab in Sparta Tenn. If you need their 800 # email me at dhadley50@aol.com.
