Right now there is some scorned moron trying to ruin his reputation, funny thing is this guy was burned by someone else, NOT BILL!!!. Well, as they say a "happy sailor is a *****in sailor. Good luck.

I'm not a moron.....

+1 for Gene at Lightning Performance. Since you are local to LOTO it makes sense to stay local. I looked at Bill too, and while he seemed very nice, knowledgeable and was always easy to get him on the phone, I had qualms about dragging the boat way up there to him and then if there was a warranty issue, I would have to drag it back. Maybe more than once? no thanks.

gene was great. He was fair, timely, and he built me two rock solid supercharged 502's. communication was great, and he warrantied his work. had a couple minor issues and he arrived at my dock to take care of them. he cares very much about his reputation and it showed in his service. I would definitley use him again.

I bought a long block this summer from Bill and was in a hurry he delivered what he promised in time and on the $ he mentioned.

PS; I have not blown up that one yet, not for lack of trying!

With it in our MTI.

if you can stay local thats the best thing to do, checkout GENE AT LIGHTNING PERFORMANCE, BIGGUS knows his stuff and feels GENE is good there you go. BUT if you want another good builder DEAN GELLNER ENGINEERING is very good very reliable and his MOTORS WON TWO CLASSES IN KW in nov for WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. SO LOCAL GENE , if you travel DEAN and Dean will come and run your boat to fine tune it too. which a lot of builders don't do my x builder owned a sailboat thats why DEAN GETS MY WORK and its worth bringing him out to fine tune the motors too.
