damn this thread has exploded! this is no good.......
i gotta say...its pretty straight up of Mrhorsepower to still offer to help Yankey after all this.
this is just a $hity situation all around that IMO shoulda been handled in private before going public.
Yankey....you shoulda took the motors back to Gellner brotha. thats how it works. any good engine builder will tell you that its common policy that once someone else has been into that engine....all bets are off. most ,if not all other builders would just tell you that you are 100% on your own once you admitted to tearing them down yourself.....and then went public with accusations without even offering the chance to make it right.
swallow your pride and call him...give him a chance to make it right. i know it stings and your pissed...but dont cut your nose off to spite your face in this situation.
i dont know what your goal with this thread was....was it just to inform the guys o fthis sight that Gellner is a crook and screwed you over?

I have read every word of this thread and this is what I have to say.
Mr Gellner, you have nothing to worry about regarding the negative comments from Mr Schmidt as he has made everyone on here realize that he is an idiot. The builds may not have been perfect, but he is in the wrong.

We friends...not in a long time probably somewhere in '09. Dean you know how to get ahold of me, you have had plenty of time also. If I recall I just sent you another email, and text two weeks ago, but never said anything. I have told you before I want it in writing...l have learned my lesson with verbal anything (i won't tell all I saw and heard).
As far as shipping something back there...NEVER. It took two years to years the first time. I am not going down that road again.
We never sat down and went through anything...I'm still trying to find all those savings, but I do have a list of expenses based from missed committments.
2 years insurance on a boat I can't use - 2x $1700.00
1.5 years Whisky Island Rack Storage - 1.5x $3400.00
2 years Climate Controlled Indoor Storage - 21x $155.00
.5 years Ligghthose Marina Rack Storage - .5x $3200.00
I think I'll let you all carry on. I'll go back to being a terrible person.

Well, most of you know the situation I also went thru with another builder, NOT Gellner Engineering, I actually suffered thru 4.5 years of headaches and presonally pulled my enginre 11 times! but not once did I do any dissassembly I renturned them to the builder and held him resopnsible! , he finally got them wright, on numerous occasions Dean was my sounding board for all questions issues and recomendations, I have newer sepnt more than $500 at his shop but He and Carrol (mom) treated me like a million, I am small time compaired to most but the Gellners treated me with the ut most respect and professionalism.. I do call him my friend, Thanks again Dean!... Dave

mr gellner,after all the attempts mr schmidt has made to make you look like the bad guy,i cant understand why you would waste your time trying to talk to him,he had someone else take the engine in question apart,he has done his best to attempt to cast a bad lite on your business,but it appears that most have seen threw his bs.your reputation as a fair,honest,and excelent builder is well known in the boating world,and i assure you mr schmidt,s attempts to tarnish your reputation have failed.and just for the record,i do not know mr schmidt or mr gellner,never met or spoke to either of these gentelmen.
