The guy at Propeller Basin marina near 23 and Jefferson is really good, really nice, takes his time, does things right, and is realtively cheap (especially if you're not in a hurry). I think his name is Jim. He's an indian lookin' fellow (not east indian, american indian) if anyone knows him by appearance.

Are they capable of line boring, decking or balancing the rotating assembly?
I called and talked to him briefly but he hasn't called back yet.

If your boat is small enough, and if it is a big enough job he may pull it inside for the winter saving you on winter storage costs. Stop by there and check out some of the old cars he restores in his spare time. They're awesome! It will give you an idea as to how meticulous he is.
Most storage facilities have boats and cars that sit around and rot. When we first started going there he had some 40's Fords and some late 60's Cougars laying around the property. They looked like they were just rotting there, but year after year they kept getting nicer. I think he fixes them and sells them, but they're really nice when he's done with them.
