Also got an engine alignment tool from whoya off ebay, again best price and it got here next day. My 454 efi from jetdogg is shipping today too :evilb: Its feeling like christmas around here!!

Good to know. My last Hardin order took two weeks and they charged me something like $30 shipping...for a box of bezels and misc.

Still waiting on my shipment from eddie marine...5 days so far.

+100 about Bill from Diamond. I bugged him daily for a month ordering all the little stuff I needed redoing some things... He always had the answers and even loaned me the mandrel for making steering hoses. Good dude. Except this whole steering wheel back order thing! JK Bill

I have 3 boats and if I need anything for any of them performance boat or not, Bill at DP is my first and usually only call made. Last week I got a Tides dripless propshaft seal for my in board cruiser from him, this week ablative bottom paint. All at lower cost and faster shipping than could have been had anywhere else. Props to Bill and Diamond Performance, keep the up good work.

Yeah big props to the diamond guys so far!

I placed an order to Dana Marine on April 11th for 2 billet motor mounts and a gimbal exhaust blockoff plate, fairly simple order. On the 19th, I was put on hold twice for a combined time of about a half hour, then was hung up on, got ahold of them on the 22nd, and they said they would call me back cuz computer was down, on the 25th, they said they were just waiting on the blockoff plate which was out of stock, and that they placed an order the day before for it, and it'd be in Friday, the 26th, hopefully. On the 26th I called to see if it'd shipped and they said they'd call me back once they checked, never got a call. Called today to follow up once again as my boat is sitting waiting, and now they were waiting on my motor mounts which still needed to be machined. What a load of crap! Cancelled the order, if parts aren't in stock, they should let you know...

Called Diamond Performance, they had everything in stock, and shipped it out today!

Dana is terrible as well , 6 months for a fire extinguisher bracket with no call.

Vinny P 04-29-2013 04:43 PM

I waited for months on a swim platform from Dana. In fact, since it never showed up, I suppose I am still waiting for it. Bill @ Diamond got me a platform in a reasonable time frame. From now on, its Daimond for me..

Just ordered some emi thunders from diamond. They had to be custom made, bill was fast to get a price and get back to me. Prices are great and great service too.

Crude Intentions 04-29-2013 06:48 PM

Bill is excellent. Have dealt with him a few times and always a great experience.

bonesmalon 04-29-2013 06:56 PM

Agreed Bill was great to deal with.

jbraun2828 04-30-2013 09:25 PM

I ordered a steering wheel form diamond yesterday morning and I got this afternoon. I was shocked. I didn't know that kind of service existed in the marine business. Thank you
