None taken! The reason there is none take is because my boat always ran so well no matter how hard I thrashed it.
BTW with al this crap going on I also have to respect Greg's integrety.

BajaMan,
Well I too am a happy Kustom Marine customer. I fall into the "runs the crap out of his boat" crowd. I have never had a Greg Reno related failure since he has been working on my rig and his customer service is second to none.
My motors were rebuilt by Greg 2 years ago and I have not had one issue since, and like I said I run my stuff hard.
Heck, I even had Greg do all the work on my Mom's fishing boat. So not only do I trust him with my boat but I trust him to make sure my Mom is taken care of.
I also have know Brian Bunch at Eerie Performance for years and I would not hesitate to sent work his way either. Brian knows his stuff and has always been a stand up guy.
IMHO, I would be hesitant to work with a company that will openly bash another company and person after admitting they do not even know that person, they just "heard" bad things. Also I would expect that company or person to reveal his name and company name if he is willing to openly bash other people by full name and company name.
And furthermore I would request references to validate that the company's accusations of poor workmanship are indeed valid.
I have been a LEOPA member since 1997, past commodore and past treasurer. I am unaware of who Brian41 is or his shop, therefore I am unable to verify his workmanship or customer service.

And easy to get a hold of. Just keep us in mind.

I don't believe Raylar was telling anybody off in that former thread. I was just saying when you start making 5 or 6 changes to any boat at about the same time its hard to know whats working and whats not working as is the case with the boat in question. As that 496 is set up with our kit and a set of CMI's it should easily make 550HP on the dyno and if it does not, then something is either wrong with the engine or the fuel system or possible ECM program. If he dynos it and sees this kind of power then the place to look for the lost performance is in the boat or such.
Lets wait and see what happens on his dyno.

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Darren.... please explain why you think this is a pathetic joke.... You were in my shop a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe because you are acting like a Jack A** ?

So what I gather from this is....

Greg Reno at Kustom marine

Brian Bunch at Eerie Performance

Skipper Bud's in Fenton, MI (more for basic services)

and Brian41 which I have no information on other than this post

It seems thes guys are close to Detroit, Monre and Gibraltar respectively. Gibraltar is probably the closest to me but still 1.5 hrs away.

Any others besides the ones posted?

I was kind of hoping for closer but probably not going to happen.

There is also McMachen Marine in Detroit down by Metro Beach
