Most of the time that's correct, but Fountain had a lightning at the NYC boat show with Merc 1075's costing over 700K

Bob and Larry Peto both deserve mention here for sure.

Ask some of the builders you mentioned above , they will tell you who he is and what he knows . As far as offshore builder of the year awards , I could not tell you . I know he builds alot of motors for the offshore ski race guys on the left coast. Call him up, the guy is very knowledgable.

PS I dont do donuts .

I believe your plates are on a Volkswagon down in El Salvador........ :eek:

After all, there are ads all over for KEPP with Keith's picture on them. What are people suppose to think? Not everyone has the good fortune of having a personal relationship with Mr Eickert and knowing the inside scoop.

There's absolutly no doubt Keith Eickert is a great engine builder. There is however a great deal of confusion amongst consumers about where Mr Eickert works. Under the circumstances, I think it's understandable and not particularly worthy of a tongue lashing.

I agree :(

How much would you like?!?! .......... :D :D :D
I agree that there are a small handfull of very talented engine builders in this industry. Sterling Performance, Phaff, Teague, and Keith Eickert which I have been fortunate to become great friends with are in the tops not to mention a few other up and coming names! Keep up the great work guys!! I think we need a engine build off. Dyno and then 200 miles in open water shoot out! :D
