WHO"S THE BEST? |
I do the oil changes regularly, but I'm sending my 1075's in at 125 hours and just figure its piece of mind to do the drives also. I hate to break and one less thing at the end of its life is a good thing in my opinion.

Did you ever decide who's doing your drive?

Yep an overwhelming response to use CRAIG COLLABELLA. He's going to take the drives from me when I'm down in Key west next month. |

Collabella performance 407-498-0094 craig has more experience than anyone in the business. he was with merc racing back in the day when the six drive was first developed. plus his pricing is worth shipping to him. |
I think it's funny that people have recomended places from Cali to Florida. Brace lives in Ohio and not one person mentioned Lake Cumberland Marine...But i wouldn't use them either and i live here....

Gellner needs to be rebuilding your 1075s and Doller Offshore should get the number six refresh. You can kill two birds with one stone. Your down in south florida already, stop by, Doller, have them yank the drives rebuild them and pull engines, ship to Dean. Doller can have you dialed in for Miami 2009 in Feb boat show. Gellner and Doller will will service you to the fullest. They are The Industry! :) You can search all day long, you will hear nothing but good results for both Gellner And Doller. Can't go wrong.

best option right there |
I had craig pull the drives yesterday. He was unbeliievably accomadating. Met my drivers late at night and just a real nice guy from what I hear.
I'm using mercury for refresh because on resale people from other parts may not know of a said engine builder. However I'm looking hard at a second boat as a cat and I feel dean can build just as good of an engine as anyone can if not better... |
We also have all II-VII Speedmaster tools and drive stands/vises,Fairhaven-MA... if still needed.

Just get those 1075's in here all ready and spend the money wisely bro. :drink:

Craig Colabella just shipped my drives back to me. He was very easy to work with and I could just call him on his cell to get ahold of. Thanks for the recomendations OSO.

Brace Yourself, what was the cost to refresh a set of #6's. Also killer ride:drink:
