The rigging was done for quite a bit of money by a member of the board. The boat was re- rigged by someone who actually knew what they were doing in Ohio. 5/8 fuel line, bypass regulator. Eikert(sp?) raw water pump. Crossover with t stat. Most of the rigging is overkill for my engines. Previous engines were tall deck 572 aluminium Donavan's with injected 14-71s

The only oil left is in the filters. Worth sending it out you figure? Degraded oil would be a sign of heat?

I see your in western NY. Why not just drop them off at marine kinetics shop, for full machine work, balancing, assembling, and dyno testing. They do carb mods as well if the prosystems need modding

If I get a bad cam I will be pissed and call Bob. If anything else goes wrong like my engines filling with water or my lifter seizing in bore I will be pissed and call my engine builder. I also stopped the whole process for 3 weeks and lost the rest of the season trying to decide if I wanted to go with blowers since I had to rebuild anyways. Then I figured since I can hit 90 at 5400 and 650hp in a straight bottom boat why screw with blowers, so I told the builder to get the correct pistons for a non blower app.

x 1000!

Even though I don't trust many engine rebuilders, I feel bad for them. Can't tell you (yes I can, lol) how many times an engine (shortblock, longblock, complete) I've gone to check out where owner is po'd at the facility, all to discover the rigging (or tuning) killed it....again. Suks.

Amazes me on OSO how the guys that don't have a clue or do sub-par work get reach arounds from many of the OSO members here. Then you have a genuine guy like Bob who go above and beyond to put out a great product and they get shot down by OSO members.

Reach around is an understatement. One of the reasons I reacted like I did. Well, there goes this thread.

I was trying to keep it PG.

However, if someone does real good work for you, don't you give them a nice reacharound ? LOL.
