Chief Engines?
 
I am looking for some info for a friend about them. Looking for some experiances and dealings? www.chiefengines.com

Good people. After several less than pleasant experiences, Tommy made it right. My boat is there now. Repeat customer. If you want to know something specific, PM me.

The best in the industry in my opinion. Three friends of mine at Lake Cumberland have Chief Engines and all of them run great (1 set of 650's, 1 set of 800's and 1 set of 1200's).

Tommy and the family are great people and no one builds a better motor then Chief! We have 4 boats at our marina that run his motors, all are 1000s and run flawless. I had a chance to experience his new 1200 turbos in Broken Arrow and can't even explain how unbelievable those motors are!!! Looking forward to the day I can have a pair of my own!!!

Allez Vite is one of mine.:D

dkwestern 12-07-2007 12:20 PM

O.K. wasn't sure of the other 2 with big Chief's but was taking a guess with Allez Vite, I know the other 2 have Chief.

Dean, Are they new or did you rebuild, I thought it had Chief or KE when Nykamp bought it??

Queenie 12-07-2007 12:31 PM

We have Chief 850's on ours. We just bought the boat mid-August, but for the 2 months we ran them, not a single problem.

Anytime there was a question, picked up the phone and Tommy answered the call personally.

The Chief boat and a guy in the area bought the 36 Skater "Noreaster" and is storing it with us next year. That boat was completely redone by Tommy and has Chief 1000 EFIs. Alez Vite has 1000 Zules not Chiefs!

dkwestern 12-07-2007 02:21 PM

Ah Yes ZUL's sorry, I knew it was one of the "Big Dog" engine builders.

They will not be Zul's when I get done with them. :D Assembling as we speak. Let's just say we did some upgrading.:drink:

You don't want to know why Pete. Steve is doing it right, that's all I can say.
