Top riggers in Florida
 

Getting ready to rig 3 300xs on the boat in the next few weeks, so looking for some names.Boat is located in Tampa so would like to stay near Tampa.

John Maynard in Bradenton/Sarasota FL . ( ALL-STAR ):ernaehrung004:

Yes I have been speaking to him,but he seems to be into the IO's not so much into the outboards.

I would get ahold of Randy from liberator boats its seems between 300sx and 225 pro's he has it covered. his oso name is wildman (daytona 386-788-4378 or 386-761-8050)

That little yellow boat is insane, I want to see a video of it at speed.

Grants Custom Rigging in Ft. Lauderdale. He is very experienced with outboards.

Jay at Spectre Sportfish in St. Pete. He did O/B's on his old cat molds and his fish models. Go and take a look at his operation before you decide anything.

anyone know if Ingle Marine is still rigging they would be worth checking out........Clearwater,Fl area

Surprised nobody mentioned TNT??

he said near tampa, if he takes it to the other side, then ya, hands down TNT.

Rigger please.

TNT is probably one of if not the top outboard guys in the business!!!!!!

Larry Goldman / Xtreme Marine Miami is very good with the outboards. It would be wise to have a rigger who understands cats and outboards. TNT and Xtreme are very good. Larry will likely be a little less money.

Couldnt agree more with Brad. Larry at Xtreme and TnT are the best. Our boat is at Larrys right now!

Talk to Grant. 954.481.9911. www.grantscustomrigging.com

He will not only rig, but help you get it set up and dialed in. An outboard rerig is nothing new, he did Contender recently and has a sunk Intrepid on the way. Done a "couple" cats too...especially the 32 Doug Wrights for both OB and IO.

Here's a video. I had the boat up to 82 on GPS. Very fast acceleration with the 225 Promax, but hard to drive over 70. I had to bury the nose to be able to steer it. Kind of crazy, but I had to do it.

Nobody knows outboards and cats better than Spectre and they are right there for follow up. Makes the most sense.

But you can't reach them, I have been calling them for 3 days now and no answer, and left them a message and no call back.

Larry rigs and maintains all of my boats. As Brad says he's an expert with outboards, as well as inboards, cats and V's. Very honest and fair.

Jay at Spectre sportfish your best bet,just finished doing some painting and rigging on my donzi 38zrc,awesome job,I know he is looking for some rigging jobs,boat sales slow now,if you can't get a hold of him give me a call i can give you his cell,Dave 410-956-5381

Call Spectre. 727-546-3000 or I think Jay's cel is 727-599-8235

X 2 for Rick Turmel. If in North Carolina, he's your go-to guy for top notch rigging. They don't call him "Golden Boy" for noth'n! (Hi Rick!) lol;)

there was a guy that i knew from pompano, his name was Al Wolfe.. last i knew he was working for Tom Mason back in the day

guy did some of the nicest rigging that i've ever seen.. but don't know what became of him

TNT CUSTOM MARINE IN NORTH MIAMI THEY ARE WORLD CLASS BAR NONE

Scott Mander, former owner of Intense Marine, now has Speed and Custom Marine just outside of Tallahassee. 850-875-0381 Realistically priced and 3.5 hrs from Tampa.

In Ft. Lauderdale, Ed Thornton (Ed it Marine) is one of the best.

Scott Mander is definitely "good people". Saw him recently In Quincy,FL just outside of Tallahasee,FL.
