Need a good high performance mechanic in Chicago area
 

I'm looking for a good mechanic in the chicago land area that specializes in high end performance engine modifications on Mercury 496 motors. I have a Formula 370SS and is in storage at the Fox chain. Need a guy who can travel out to the boat and work on it there. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

In Wisconsin: Mel Riggs 920-872-2728

In Waukegan, Ill Ateco Engines 847-623-2738

Both are excellent!

Ateco now has a large service center in Volo IL (just south of Fox Lake) along with the engine and dyno shop in Waukegan. They specialize in high performance marine engines and do a lot of work for the largest high performance boat dealers in the area.

+3 great experience with Ateco and Bill is a great guy to deal with. Follow-up no problem to make sure everything is perfect. Plus he is an advertiser/supporter of this forum.:ernaehrung004:

I think you are going to have a hard time finding someone who will travel and work in
your storage unit. However Keith has traveled for Shogren when they had work for him
so he might be interested. He is my mechanic and does performance boats. Best to go
to the shop to talk to him. His shop is off Rt. 12 down a couple of side roads from
downtown Fox Lake.

go with bill at ateco,he built me two 632 two seasons ago still run like a top and shes fast for just having a single carb on each motor,i owned a lot of super charged motors and unless u need hudge hp these na motors are just so much easyer to maintain,gas,oil and vavle adj. is all u have to do.

496HO Upgrade
 

We can help you with anything you need done.

We have two fully certified Merc techs and do alot of work on 496, 525, 600, 700's. We use ATECO for all our engine rebuilds and have for 7 years without one comeback.

Please feel free to call with any questions, we have done several 496HO header upgrades. if you want more HP and not just headers, trade in the 496HO and get 525, it will add and hold value vs hopped up motors.

Service work
 

I am not sure who gave you this information but Keith does not travel or work for us, we do all work in house outside of paint.

Keith on another note is very good at what he does.

Regards,

Scott Shogren

harley so a Blower on the Hudge Hp motors is alot harder to maintain then a 632 with solids ? care to elaborate for all and give us your wealth of knowledge .:coolcowboy: inquiring minds wanna know

look mr know it all u seem like a real wise a.. i dont waist time with a J O like you.u missed the hole jist,but that would figure with u.

figured you were talking out your azz ,and did'nt have a clue but #Rad ...needed a cheerleader RAH RAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe its the added maint in buying a blower belt DUH :grinser010: Tell me all about it at the next run or event :angry-smiley-038:

hey *****, real tuff guy behind ur computer,like to see how tuff u r in person,at least i dont wine about my motors when they dont ever run like the ones u have in ur boat.

my motors run fine as you see on youtube , i should probably pull them for maintenance seeing there blower motors and require all that Xtra maint ..LOL you must be cornfuzed after that last load of Brads you swallowed ..may wanna call your boyz you cheerlead for and ask them about that big maint on blown motors ... im easy to find hope to see ya at one of the poker runs soon ..

I have drivin all the way from Michigan to have Keith Brommelkamp
rebuild the motors on my cig when i owned it

he does STELLER work

Shogren would also be a good choice

Oh No!

You should both be beaten severely with dictionaries.

Butt Mike :kiss:
