Nice thread, as I'm starting to look for a good engine builder.

your in Olmsted Falls too???? thats like 4 of us here haha 440-476-4114 gimme a text or call one day, we can grab a beer...I am on Columbia rd, just south Bagley

Tim, does he do complete builds too, dyno, rig?

Yes on both his dyno is old school all analog he's old school builder but not once have I or my buddy's had issues with work or time frame, he does not do as many boat engines as other guys but he knows what he's doing....never let us down.

Im glad Eddie young s name came up. I have never worked with him but he has done a lot for the boating industry and that says something.

On another note, Im surprised I haven't heard anyone comment about Ben at Precision Marine in MI.

Ben is the real deal. I have never been disappointed.

+1 for Eddie Young.

I'm ONE GUY Bro. Thanks for the nice words! If I could find help would be nice , but no one wants to use there brain!!! The biggest thing with my stuff is you will not find more perfect machine work any where, combinations make power through 55 years experience and they DON'T BLOW UP like my competition!

Alexi Sahagian & Boostpower take care of both my 500HP SBC and 700 Ilmor V10.

Everything is ready when he says it will be and always exceeds my very high level of expectations.

Everything from compound super/turbocharged 2000+ HP mills and everything in between.

I half expected to see a UFO getting an infinite improbability drive upgraded last time I was there.

Teague Custom Marine did complete refresh on the drivetrain in my DCB in 45 days from start to finish. Fresh motors, trannys, service drives, and a fair amount of new rigging for water and fuel delivery. Got the chance to run the boat and it is absolutely perfect, Great experience and great service!

It seems there is always much talk about engine builders which I always enjoy reading about. That said, there seems to be very little discussion around the "real" value of our boats after we have invested in new/rebuild power from an aftermarket provider. This seems to be an commonly overlooked consideration for many while going through the decision making process and deciding on an engine builder/shop, but this decision can have real consequences to the resale value of your boat. IMHO when one go's to sell their boat, to get top dollar the boat needs to have Mercury power and if not Mercury it better be very well known aftermarket. Boats that have some very capable but lesser known engine packages really struggle to sell and when they do sell usually not at top $. Just my opinion but case in point, on the West Coast when you are talking the more high end boats this element certainly applies. I have a friend that recently replaced his "little known" engines in his DCB to Teague just for the resale marketing elements.
