Just purchased a 1992 SL16 with the original 90 HP Johnson. Pretty low hours but been sitting for a while and previous owner indicated it was running rough and needed carb service. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Southeastern MA or Providence RI area. Thanks!

Maybe a little distant from you, but Raul has a lot of experience with older OMC's - his Dad was the biggest OMC dealer in the Dominican Republic back in the day; here is another satisfied customer: http://www.whalercentral.com/forum/vi...ad_id=7138

Raul also works at United Boater's Coop in Auburn MA - pretty easy to get to from RI, right up 146: http://www.unitedboaterscoop.com/scoop.com/

Also, if you are so inclined, carb rebuilds on these older OMCs are pretty straightforward, and full rebuild kits are only about $30 per carb. But if not, Raul will be able to help you get that motor humming!
