Truthfully, it's just nice to get good service from an engine shop.

I recently had an engine in a shop here in Ft. Lauderdale, I have been a customer for years. Never ***** about price. I also don't bother him unless we are on a deadline trying to get ready for an event. I left the engine there and told him what i wanted him to do. After 6 weeks I called because I hadn't heard from him. He said "i didn't even touch it. I got swamped with bigger jobs and can't even touch it for another 3 weeks. Come and get it and bring it somewhere else if you want too."
I can't believe the way some of these guys treat their customers! That's the performance boat industry.

Your right on the boat world it's a whole different thing from real world business. Must be to much money being made to care about the customers.

Sterlings are first class.

Exactly..just always seems to be a problem mostly in the Marine industry more than others...It shouldn't be that hard..

Hey Gino, if you don't mind me asking, how much to ship two engines back and forth from FL to MI?


Who did you use? Who made the crates?

My thoughts also....? why should you have to take motors in after only 25hours ?

Just a thought

$300 each. I will give you the guys number. Best deal around. I was getting quotes over $1200 per motor.
