I just used George at AADS but did not do any of his upgrades. Took 6 weeks for a full rebuild (lower gear set on back order supposedly). Been over 2 weeks now since drive was shipped back and still no detailed invoice on work completed. Communication was not the best during the process. Was told he used Amsoil exclusively (as I informed him I do as well) but drive was shipped with Merc Hi-Po. Have about 3 hours on drive so far and all seems OK. If you are looking to build up a Bravo I would also consider Mr. Gadgets (Dick Tryce) here on the forum..

I'm not saying I wouldn't use AADS, just relaying my experience. Since I was doing a basic rebuild I considered The Bravo Shop and AADS. After the fact I thought of Mr. Gadgets and Performance Boat Center. I'm in LOTO during the summer off and on so PBC would have been another option to TBS who really weren't interested in my business. .
