I just got back from PRI and once again seen SL engines up close and have to say his custom builds and custom fab work is one of the best. His engines surely stand out. On another note very hard to see the whole PRI show in the 3 day span. Seems like the show keeps growing every year as well.

My mo...sees $40k engine but thinks too much money then spends all summer building a $20k motor three times, lol

The entry point on those motors is high, but there's great value there.

Every model of his marine engines blow me away. They are actually priced fair compared to the big power from Sterling, Chief, Goodwin and Mercury costing over 100k++ to 200k.

Cool video thanks for sharing.

I'm impressed with this company and almost embarrassed for most of the "marine builders". I understand there's a million reasons but WOW very cool stuff.
