You got love it when a non client smack talks a business he has not dealt with. Or for that matter ever paid.

+ 1

probaly cant afford a motor from tyler,so if he smack talks maybe he will will get a free bee from tyler,only thing free is a azz beating .

Ok tuff guy I will try harder to please your freinds if I sat on the phone and talked to everyone I would not get anything done. Don't judge a business you know nothing about and for the record these were 310 HP 454's with stock iron heads and yes it took a little brain surgery Dr. Douche !!! :D

Ok, not to continue this pissing contest, but I have always heard GREAT things about Tyler's motors. I have personally never had him do any work for me, but a couple guys I boat with have in the past and were/still are extremely happy.

I did send him e-mails and was potentially have some work done by him (not even sure if he was in my price range) but I didn't get a timely response via his website so I began my work elsewhere. I admit I was quite pissed at the time. PAUSE -- however I contacted him in July and you can't reasonably expect a business with his reputation in our area to drop everything in prime season to hold your hand. After attempting to contact him it took a while to find anyone who was qualified to do a marine engine -- thankfully, with the help of RMbuilder (bob) and my engine guy, I was able to get things done, JUST in time to put it away :)

I can't speak to any of the other issues.

I do not want to get into this debte and I am dispointed Tyler would even post! The man has helped a little guy like myself out for FREE. Just like Bob RMBILDER they are great guys and PRICLESS:drink:
Thank you TYLER, and please do not repsond, there is a reason you are still in business. Rock On:evilb:

I have two of his motors. This summer I`ve called a few times and hes always taken my call no problem, web site contact form.. thats takes a while so I just call:drink:

I dont know any of the parites involved......

but i do know that $7630 for two 500+ hp engines, dynoed, and tuned is a very competitive price.

being in business for my self i can relate to the whole stituation. once in a while I encounter people that cannot be pleased no matter what you do simply because they are unreasonable.

and sometimes my schedule gets so crazy that i cant possibly be everywhere and talk to everyone ....ther simply arent enough hours in a day.

i do know this....anyone that is doing qualtiy work, especially in the boating industry, will stay busy......almost regardless of price. unfortunatley there are no such people around here....i have yet to find a single shop that i would let work on ANY of my boats. after a single discusion with them it becomes apparent that they are full of SH!T and/or lazy as hell. this isght has more info than the self proclaimed "experts" in my area.

I started to quote some of the previous replies but there were too many with my same sentiment. You see comments all the time that start with "I heard" or "a friend of mine said" and more often then not the WHOLE truth is not told.

Last year I was rebuilding one of my 525's and was given Tyler's number by someone involved with racing that had dealt with him several times. Tyler took the time to speak with me about some of my issues and offered to do what he could to help. For him to even take the time out of his obviously busy schedule was awesome and backed up what I have heard from several people about him. Thanks again Tyler!!

The only advise I can give is to first figure out what your budget is and then shop around from there. If you try and skimp on things here and there to try and save a couple bucks you will end up having more problems down the road.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

PS Tyler-I agree with several of the other posters as well...your reputation speaks for itself so don't feel like you have to answer to any of this.

I'll tell you what I "heard" I "heard" a 27' Fountain Fever blow past me like I was standing still about 100 times over the past few years (one of Tyler's Motors form years back). Said boat ties up with me (on my previous boat) on a regular basis and was located two spots over from me at my marina....he now keeps the boat elsewhere.

So there is something to the whole "heard" thing ;)
