Default Good marine mechanic in the burbs?

Tried to troubleshoot my fuel issue today, and didn't really make much progress.

As much as I hate to have to take a boat I just got to a mechanic, I think that someone qualified should be troubleshooting my problem as it's probably (hopefully!) something stupid and obvious that's wrong with the boat. Something that a tech could figure out pretty easily.

That being said, who would you guys recommend in northern IL to bring the boat to? I'll be happy just as long as it's someone honest, knowledgable and reasonable.

Any suggestions?

Probably something simple that you can fix by yourself. What's it doing???
