It's hard not getting return calls. Pick your stuff up. On the other hand a marine related guy out of touch with the real world in the winter, surprises me not. imo

I build my own motors, but had a machine shop do me the same way. I went by and pick up my parts!

Default go get em

Shocking, a marine shop not meeting deadlines!
Go get your stuff and tell him to FO when he feeds you endless excuses.
Everyone gets all pi$$y panties about me pointing this out, but really, my experience with marine mechanics has been negative. EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It's the culture of this industry.
So between that and whisky-tango documentary "pegged" I watched this weekend. My boat will have a for sale sign on it as soon as its out of storage.

And I know, don't let the door hit me on the way out!

WESCO is great, Dave is honest, and people that use him stick with him, his stuff stays together.

I am a sterling performance guy myself. Mike Dianabelle is in Milford and that's close to holly. Call sterling. They are expensive, but his $hit holds up...

Just my $.02.

As he is unresponsive now, just imagine how he would be if the motor he built you grenades.
Go get what belongs to you.

I have just the opposite problem with my engine builder. I use Eddie Young and hell he'll talk your ear off.

How about sterling engines.
I agree that you need to get your motor back ASAP.

That's not right
It's true, but it's still not nice
