Carl, Carl, Carl!
Don't tell me you've screwed up again!
And on top of that, you've been declared "perfect" on an importatnt dimension.
I too know the whole story, and while you may in fact be all of things he's calling you, it's more that clear that this guy is very bad news indeed.
I don't think that screwing with Steve would be very good for ones health!

I don't deny I'm a "perfect A-hole". Guilty as charged. But the fact I'm an A-hole doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't take 16 months to rebuild 2 engines.

Your so full of crap it isn't funny dude!! Besides, everything was worked out with Steve and when he actually had seen the finished product he also realized the effort we put forth. I guess I need to bring up the fact of money problems ( which is most likely why the boat is for sale) , we lost 2 family members (RIP) , connecting rods taking 6 months to build, ect..... it was a tough year!! Sorry your so perfect Carl buddy! You have proven to be a perfect A-hole if you think you know the story!! Your not even close!! 
"connecting rods taking 6 months to build" see post #34
"we lost 2 family members (RIP)" sorry for your loss.
"I guess I need to bring up the fact of money problems ( which is most likely why the boat is for sale)" On this one you are just simply incorrect. If you had any monetary issues with Steve in any part of the build it was probably due more to the lack of progress and promised dates(8 weeks was the original quote right?) not being met than anything to do with not having the money. If a bum on the street asks me for 5 bucks and I don't give it to him, that doesn't mean I don't have it. As far as selling the boat, don't confuse for sale with must sell!!! I have plenty of stuff for sale, that doesn't mean I have money problems. During the 16 months Steve and Krista were waiting for their motors, Michigan's economy threw them a curve ball, as it has done and continues to do many people. For now, they are living in SC where a boat of this magnitude is pretty much overkill on any of the small local lakes. Now he could keep it up here in Michigan and run it a couple times a year, but that is a pretty expensive toy for such limited use, no matter how deep your pockets.

If this is such a big issue why are we not hearing anything from the owner?
I've been dealing with Gellner Engineering for many years for street motors to full race offshore engines. They have alway been there when i needed them.
These issues are between the owner and Mr. Gellner. Let them handle it. Stirring this pot will help no one.

Enough non-sense.........I will do and have done anything to help Steve put this Bad Boy back together and be of full support just like we have for over 50 years to our clients. Yes, I wish things didn't take so long on this job. It's done to perfection and I would hate to see it not come together! Peace.
