Empire007 just got a taste of karma since he screwed over a guy on Sunsation's site for a set of super chillers. DominatorScott is on other boards and is well respected on Sunsation's site (and has the fastest 32 Sunsation out there, 114mph I believe) so I would say this Empire is a scammer.

I was thinking if they are the 588's that came out of certain skater at LOTO I find it hard to believe the engines had issues since the guy is about as meticulous as they come. That why I was curious which ones they are.

Not to mention the fact that the Skater ran several mid 140mph passes in the Shootout the last time it was out. I agree the seller is about as meticulous as they come and one of the most standup guys I know. Definitely a man of his word... Correct me if I am wrong, but the engines in question were listed at $60k fresh and then lowered to $30k and you can rebuild them. You opted to purchase them for the lower amount and rebuild them yourself. Engines were also complete less exhaust and you paid ten cents on the dollar for them. So.... What's the problem..???
Regards

I think that when buying used engines or a used boat with anything except stock Mercs (even that) you will not klnow what you have till you blow both of them up.

If I get 15 minutes out of used engines, whatever the person selling says I think I am ahead of the game...

Try to get good stuff on the outside what you can inspect and pray for what's inside....

You bought USED 1000hp engines that would normally sell for 100k+ new. You took a chance on a great deal and now you are complaining because you have to invest more than you bargained for on the rebuilds. Is there any way the seller could have known about the internal engine problems??? I highly doubt it.
Those engines were running when they were removed. I have known the seller for several years. He is a straight shooter, no bs guy.

GLH,,,these Bluethunder motors will last untill u buy new ones with more power and then ,,,i can buy 1 from u of those !!!!!

The N/A BT -engines my buddy bought in 96 B-Class race motors are still running strong today, they are only 500CI and 650 HP but a hell of a package.

Sorry about that highjack.

I had a pair of super chiller for sale for last three months, Dominator Scoot is been asking for them for the past two months and he has been going back and forth with the deal and got me down to a low price and then he wanted to pay with a credit card, which i don't accept and then with three different cards. I finally got a buyer for full price and told scott if her wants it, would be full price of listed, he indicated, no and i told him my deal will go through on Friday 12:00 p.m., if it does not it's his. My deal went through. I did not screw anyone over, Scott should have jumped on it and it would have been his. You got the wrong story my man.
