No chance

Re: You pick the engine !
 

why wouldnt you build it yourself ? Its not that difficult, buy a good block, good crank, rods blah ,blah, blah.lots of good products out there.I have built a few & am suprised how easy it was.just dont buy cheap **** & do some research.

J.C.Performance
Your paying for a product = to anybody else @ a much lower price. Your not paying for a big pretty shop,advertising,boat shows,huge overhead,etc. Jeff is a good person who always does the right thing! Big reliable power @ a fair price. There are alot of members on OSO that have J.C. engines(me included) and you never hear a bad thing. + you get a free reach around with each rebuild :D :D

I think a pair of 5.7 liter Mercs would be the ticket!! :D :D

Re: You pick the engine !
 

how about viper 625s?

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Joey Griffin in Washington NC, great reliable engines at reasonable price..definitely no bs...I know he has done some engines in Nortechs with excellent results

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I could build these engines... i built the chevy big blocks in my jet boats, close to twenty years ago... but resale would suffer no one want motors built by "Jeff" (Me) in a 300k boat. I wish they did.. Thanks

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I understand what you are saying but if you are going to use the boat then I dont think that it matters who built them but how they were run by the operator.The only reason I bought my eliminator was it had extended eng & drive warranties.I looked at several boats with built motors but didnt find any that were '0' time since build.The break in is the longevity in the motor for the most part unless fatigue failure or ?I am already looking to install my own & keep my 525s

Re: You pick the engine !
 

It's so weird coming from buiding Ford monster truck and drag race big blocks. Anyone could bolt together a 557 inch Ford and make 700 HP on pump gas with no huffers for 10k. I agree there are differences in the marine industry but there ARE MANY myths perpetuated by companies :rolleyes:

LAB ENGINE LINDENHURST NY PERIOD.
Lee has been building hi perf. engines for several decades, and has a very knowlegable staff. He has several record setting car , boat and avaition motors under his belt.
There are alot of good builders out there. I met Mike from Roccard engine( I bought a drive from him on e-bay)
And after talking with him I was impressed.
I have also heard nothing but praises about Ritchie Zul also.
I have learned that no matter what, any severe project has to be well thought out, and whoever is involved really has to care and really want things to work out as planned.
Starting out with a very well established shop, is a great starting point, get to know them, don't barrage them with phone calls. Instead stop by in person, and they will appreaciate that you took the time to see what's being done and that you care and want to know what's going on instead of just being told.
Most really good shops will take the time to explain things, and not brush you off, or bs you out of your money.
Unlike most pro athletes or media made icons, every one of us can meet a real legend in motor technology, that is approchable, and wants to help us all to understand things better. In my opinion it is way better to get to know these guys, than to know any celebrity. Not too many celebrity's have been building motors for 5 decades... BBB

Customryder,
Wow! Those are some of the most awesome looking motors I've ever seen. The major components are very nice, but the detail level of the lines and accessories is excellent too.
