After reading so many strings about negative crap about people in the business, it is really refreshing to read this type of thread. When a person who has been in the business as long as Mel Riggs has is able to generate the types of comments in this thread....nice change of pace:)

My Family and I have been going to Mel Riggs for over 25 years with our boating needs. It all started with my dad's 1986 Mach 1 Condor with a crazy small block built my Mel and the crew. Parents are in the Oshkosh Wi and I remember going there as a kid and just wondering around DROOLING over all the boats and crazy motors set-ups. Its crazy the amount of power he can get out of a motor and make it look stock. The man is truly a legend.

I must be the only one that he tried to hammer on my 3A's in all these years. He wanted 16k to rebuild 2 drives and Lake X was 10k cheaper out the door...with shipping. Not bashing good ol Mel, maybe he just thought I was an easy mark...WRONG
