Any updates or we have to wait till Key west race over?

I am heading on Friday to RF to see the boat and pick up the engines. I'll be bringing them back to my shop and tearing into them to see what's what. We plan on spending some time in the boat to see if we can find any issues there that could have caused some of the failures. At this point, I'm not ruling out anything and will do whatever it takes and spend as much time as neccessary to find any and all potential issues. I will be sure to keep you guys up to speed on what we find. Thanks

Ha ha, not much of a surpise you got the job, great to hear. Sounds like TRL and the motors are in great hands. Not many have the rep you got here on OSO.

Looking forward to hear the results.

A lot of good info in this thread. Please allow me to ask ony 1 question. What is the year of the mefi 3 mefi 4 ect.? I am wondering if the msds I have are going to cause a problem w my efi.. Thanks in advance. Sorry to thread jack

Merc used the Mefi 3 from 98 til around 02-03 I believe. They never used a Mefi 4.

Guess we won't be seeing you in Key West....I am glad for TRL that you got this job.....if you need a place to stay I have a home not far from there that you are welcome to use

Def. not going to Key West. I am SO busy right now that I don't know which way is up. I am done taking new work in for the next several months, at least.
Mark,
I very much appreciate the house offer. That is exceptionally thoughtful of you. We are only going to be there overnight, so I was just going to grab a hotel near RF. We won't get in until late Friday since we are going to work a half day. It's about an 8-9 hour drive, so we won't be in until about midnight. Thanks again for the offer.
Eddie

It already looks like this project is headed in a better way...(engine-wise) - I know RF is ready to rock-n-roll

It went from an engine builder that never shipped the engines, to an engine builder that is personally driving 20 hours to get the engines himself...

Is this Eddie Young guy for real?

Holy sheeeet things are going to start happening now ! in a good way for the last time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dean...i really appreciate all ur support throughout this whole debacle. I also appreciate u turning me to YPM. i have yet to meet Eddie yet. However, i can tell u that he is without a doubt the most professional and thorough man i have dealt with since we bought this boat...and i have dealt with a lot of them!! Eddie ALWAYS answers his phone...ALWAYS calls back...ALWAYS follows up and ALWAYS shoots me straight. This is something compleltly foreign to me. Triple 300s knows everything that has gone down over the years. I only hope he doesnt have the same issues on his nxt boat. I wldnt wish the $hit i went thru on my worst enemy. Eddie has yet to "fix" the mess...but his confidence is unwaivering...and that is very reassuring. R3 and Wyatt have been complete gentleman throughout this whole process...and have delivered what they said they would. Now i truly believe that i have an engine builder that will do the same...finally....finally. Again, thank u all for ur support and R3, Eddie and myself will keep everyone posted.
