I Would have to agree with 26 scarab. Lenny does a good job, and stands behind his work.

I would also have to agree that he is one of the most reasonable priced.

IMHO

What about Bruce Wolfe (maybe spelled wrong). I have heard alot of good things about him and he really helped me out over the phone once when he knew he wasnt going to make any coin from it.

"Baker, Crockett, Katech, Sterling", Wow, thats some heavy hitters. All are established top notch builders. My son worked about 2 years at Sterling, and has been with Katech about 4-5 years now. If you go to either Sterling or Katech, you better have deep pockets.
Jomar, has also been around a long time and has alot of experience in performance marine. Millennyum, might be your best bet. I know he has done considerable work for 26Scarab, and he seems to be very consciencencious. He is close, next to Beacon Cove, plus he is a boater himself! I don't think Sparky at Viscious does engines anymore, but he is so entrenched in the loop around here he may be a good one to get a referral from.
Good luck

A couple of friends of mine had engine work done at Shipwreck Marine and were pleased with the work. Not close to you, though. They are in Detroit, near Jefferson.

I believe there are several shops in Michigan that do a good job.

Bruce Wolff (Wolffie) got his start with John Lingenfelter and eventually became one of his right hand men. Wolff builds & tunes a lot of offshore stuff for guys in Indiana & Chicago areas. His shop is located in S.W Michigan: (269) 422-1090
