A friend of mine is dealing with them right now so far pretty stand up guys. Engines are going in the boat this week I will keep you posted.

Watch who you deal with in NJ. There are many Companies that "Claim" to build true HP motors & you wind up with used parts in a "new" engine. I know from experiance. We use Fred Bitner out of Trenton. I have 90 hours on the motors and not ONE problem.

Sonic,
It's serious when you come a large forum and bash a business. If you had an engine go bad, why don't you give us a few specifics.
What did you originally contract them to do?
What was the price?
What went wrong over what time period?
