Thanks for trusting us with a member of your family. See you soon. Don't forget to grab a t shirt and a hat!
Thanks, hope to see you while I am there. We did meet, years ago at Buffalo Poker Run.

Trailer has been readied and looked over, including wheel bearings. Took the VR 1 off the lift, went for a run and then put it on trailer. All set for the 6 hour drive to Saris Racing on Monday. Already looking forward to spring and new motor!

Left the VR 1 at Performance Marine. Met, in person, Johnny and Jason Saris. Great guys. I feel very comfortable, leaving the VR 1 with them.

Joined the team. , 😁.

I saw the boat yesterday heading up the northway towards Lake George. Looks sharp

You made a good call bringing it up to Saris. It’s in great hands now!

Question, do you always want to pull the motors or can someone just bring you a set.

Either is fine.
If its a custom build we do prefer to be involved in the install or at least inspect the customer's install before the first ride.
Generally, because we do have our own ramp, docks and full service marina, its just easier for us to do the install and initial water test. That being said we dyno literally everything we do from stock valve jobs to full custom builds, so we do have a lot of confidence in our engines being drop in ready.

I agree with these points. So a client could do the raging and bring it back for first fire, on the water final tune?

On the dyno runs I think you had before said you dyno in full marine trim and not the "hero" trim a lot of shops do correct?

You know, PM me answers, no reason to take up the OP thread.

Question

How much work did Eddie do to the motor ? What engine was it?
That engine lasted from 2013 till now?
