I had some engines built there a couple of years ago and they didn't have a dyno at that time. I don't think he has one now. He use to send them out to have that done if he needed the numbers.
Both Bob and Norm do great work, especially Norm. That 720 is a good engine. You shouldn't have anything to worry about. If you were buying them from Bob new, I would say get the warranty in writing and make sure everything is clear. Because he tries hard to get out of fixing things when you bring them back after they break. At least he's done that to me in the past.

I had him build two brand new engines. About 8 months later one engine blew. I never got a straight answer as to what exactly caused a cylinder to heat up and burn a piston. Before that I had to take it in a few other times for oil leaks. The valve cover bolts kept breaking. The next year the same motor blew. That time it was the crank shaft. The front of it broke off. He wouldn't warranty it the first time, so I knew he wouldn't fix it the second time either. I sold the boat right after.

Does Teague own a Dyno yet? How does he come up with the numbers to rate his engines? I have heard many stories about the lack of service after the sale with warranty issues but people keep buying them.
