Title: Outboard Shop Recomendations
Post by: BIGMIKE on March 07, 2019, 11:49:46 AM: Greetings! :hello: Fishing season is upon us! :IBCOOL:I tried starting the old BW Montauk 17 last weekend and I can't get the old trusty 1987 70 hp Evinrude to turn over, it might be due for a tune up. I am looking for a boat shop recommendations near Puyallup, WA. that can check it out. Any input is greatly appreciated. :tup:
