Cool A Positive Engine Experience!

I know there is a lot of crap about losers and cheats on here but I want to put out a good story just because I am bored and it's 50 degrees and raining...

Ron Sprol did a full rebuild on my engines this summer and I don't think I ever posted about it and had them tuned and dyno'd at Precision Marine. They aren't cheap, or quick, but they are GOOD and everything worked out great from the dyno sheets attached. I had stock 1075's and I put the Whipple Stage II kit on them since the blowers had several hours and needed replacement anyway. Now I probably spent over $60K but they are a beast. Yes that says over 1300HP and right at 1100 ft/lbs of torque.

Great to hear the good story! Hard to find these in the marine world for some reason. Enjoy your new power and post some pics and videos!

Mark at Precision did full 1075 rebuilds for our 46 OL this season. Excellent work and motors ran great. Nice guy to deal with.
Congrats to you too!

She is for sale at Pier57 now with the fresh power. Probably going to build one when she sells. Those Turbo 1100's are just too sweet not to have!!

$60k sounds cheap for new blowers and rebuilds on two 1075's nice to hear
