Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Saw a boat the other day listed as having "Budah 540's" and in the context of the ad it was pretty apparent that the seller thought it was understood what "Budah" engines were. Only problem is that I dont' know what "Budah" engines are - I'm assuming that is the builder. I thought I had heard of most of the big name (and not so big name) engine builders, but this is a new one on me.

Anyone have any info? :confused:

Budah

If its the same as Bobby Daniels, former member of this board, is an engine builder in North Carolina. Budah, is the name he goes by on Boatfreaks. org. If its not him not sure who it is.

Could be - I thought the name sounded familar but I couldnt' remember where I had heard it.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

I'm not so sure KAAMA will tell his story on the Internet..... BUT if you wanted more info about "Budah" engines PM, E-mail or call Mark I am sure he would be willing to talk to you about it...

Could it have been "BullDog" which was a Mercury 540 package?

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Budah had some shady dealings on this board. I believe that it involved multiple screen names and him posting against himself in a attempt to create more business. Ultimatly, he was booted which is how his own board came about.

Now I remember, and I know part of Mark's story. Enough to steer me clear of any boat that uses this guy's motors. After all, they might be the greatest hunks of iron in the world, but what do you do if you need work on them? I'd prefer to deal with a stand-up operation - when does Trick Marine start offering motors? :D

Mike Stay Away!!!enough said.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Don, I am by God going to have a boat at SOTW this coming year! (at least, I plan to!) :D

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Mike I hope so!!!Let me know when your going to be here and we can have a few!!

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Talk to Kaama, Sad story..............

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

If you are looking at Dougs mistress....I would not shy away....That boat is VERY nice.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Beak Boater is correct.
Yes , Kaama had some engines done by him.

I've delt with him on a parts only basis and have ZERO problems with him. And will continue to deal with him.
If I was in the market to have some power done I would definitly consider his motors.
If you are talking about the Mistress , I wouldn't shy away from it due to the power.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Geez, Fred, I was only joking! Nice to know about that - does MER have a website or are you advertising the products through Trick?

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

I have also bought parts from him with no problems whatsoever. Remember that there are always two sides to every story...

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

I have personally found Jack "Budah" to be a very generous person.

I can only speak for my personal dealings but have found Jack to a great down to earth guy. I buy parts from him and will continue to do so.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

Would absolutely never do business with them again or refer them to anyone. There's plenty of information on the board if you run a search.

Re: Anyone know what "Budah" engines are?
 

I'd have to agree with Step. I a personal friend of KAAMA, and knowing his story, I'd shy away from Budah himself, maybe not a boat with his running motors in them, but from his business for sure.

If you're speaking of the 35 Mistress with the fresh 540 engines I can say that I wouldn't be afraid of that boat with those engines. If I were to consider purchasing the boat I would do an complete engine survey, just as I would on any boat I was seriously considering buying. I would probably consider having the heads pulled, at my own expense and by a technician of the owner's choice, as a condition of the sale.
