Trustworthy Outboard Shop in SE LA

Looking to purchase a used outboard for my boat this month.
I saw a listing for a decently priced outboard at Evans Outboard and Repair in Abita Springs. Anyone used them before or know anything about them?
Any suggestions to a good outboard in SE LA? Thanks in advance.

Buying a used outboard is like putting everything on red. You never know what you are getting. Even if you buy one from your best friend, outboards are a gamble at best.

It's like a box of chocolates 
What size range are you looking for? You can find a used one on craigslist or in an ad, try to get the seller to let you bring it to a mechanic shop to check it out before you buy.

I am trying to get one around 115 hp. Considering ones between 100 and 140.
The transom (in good shape) is rated for up to a 140 hp.
I found a few on Craigslist and one is listed by an outboard repair shop in Abita Springs that says it was just "completely and professionally" rebuilt.
I plan on doing a compression test on the cylinders before agreeing to anything. Any marine mechanics you recommend?
