outboard mechanic recommendations?

My 250 Yamaha 2 stroke doesn't want to start this year. Turns over and has spark but won't run. Any recommendations out there? Thanks

Definitely Dave's motorboat shoppe in Gilford! He is an authorized Yamaha dealer and service center.

Dave's has my vote!

Last visit to his shop he has a collection of antique outboards in his shop.

They worked wonders on our Yamaha 250 this winter (4 stroke).

I second Dave's. He is a very competent outboard mechanic. I had my outboard serviced by Dave and I was very satisfied.

Dave sold and installed a 9.9 Yamaha kicker on my boat "Good Stuff" a couple of years ago. The boat is a 248 Voyager ( Grady White). He also sold me a trailer for the boat. I am on my third absolutely trouble free season with his fine work. In my book he is a Master Boat Mechanic. In 1987 I was on the first day of vacation with my brand new Four Winns 210 Horizon. The out drive came apart due to a factory defect in the then new OMC Cobra out drive. Dave had me back on the water in a day with a whole new out drive on warrantee from OMC. He is truly dedicated to his profession and one of the nicest grouchy guys I know! If Dave can't fix it it can't be fixed !!
