you are all right!!! He is a very very nice guy. Very smart! Not at all interested in making a sale. Just cares about what is going to work right and what is right. I hope my luck is better using him!!

Ive never heard anything bad, i called on an engine for my 20 a few years back and were very cool on the phone. Being as you are in pa/md talk to dave at mdg here in edgewater. Many of us here on the bay have his power and love it. He has my 20 engine right now doing a whippple on it. Local and dyno on premise. Pm me if you have any questions....

Ron rebuilt my engine a year ago. Excellent work at resonable pricing. Very knowledgable
He has a great machine shop and machining skills.
I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Absolutely top notch all the way around. His shop is in Bessmer, AL which is just south of Birmingham. I had mine completely redone over the winter and have personal knowledge of dozens more and not one bad thing to say about Ron and that is very rare in the marine business.

Ive talked to him once or twice asking input on a combo and getting some prices. seems like a really knowledgeable and nice person to deal with. He is in my top two picks if I ever have someone do an engine for me instead of doing my own.

His shop use to be right down the street from me before hurricane Katrina. He still uses the louisiana phone number but his shop is in al. I wish he was still local. Help me out with a jet boat motor right before the storm. He knows his business. Very good mechanic.

I did buy an engine from Ron. All went smooth even with such a huge distance between us!

I am up and running and all is good so far!!
