mechanic recommendations south coast

Hi I have just bought a 2003 50 hp mariner two stroke on back of 5m rib.

The engine is OK but needs a service and also I have heard that it may be possible to up rate to 60hp as is very similar engine. (not sure if this is a good idea but does appeal)

I live in camberley Surrey. Any recommendations for a good two stroke mechanic south coast Southampton Portsmouth sort of area or nearer?

Second Winsor marine Barry is the best, does a lot of the guys in Weymouth and Portland. Will travel too as he has a fully equipped van for mobile service work.

Sounds painful but he does seem to be well thought of.
