Default Marine (reputable) engine machine shop in the Southwest Indiana/Midwest area

I'm still kicking some other ideas around. However, it's starting to look more and more like I'm going to yank the engine and do a complete rebuild. If I do indeed go this route, I will be replacing/checking quite a few parts (e.g. fuel injectors, exhaust, ecm tune). With that being said, I'm not wanting to go real radical. At this point reliability sounds a little better to me as I pretty much missed the entire boating season this year!!! Anyone have any suggestions??? Any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'd not hesitate to use either. Both Ryan and Mike are helpful members here with strong setups.

Haven't made up mind just yet, but I did speak with Ryan (RED) and I'll be honest he was very intuitive, helpful and personable! Not to mention his ideas and estimates where pretty exciting. Thanks everyone for the input!!!

I will also agree with Mike about Borowski as I did not see his post at first.

And if Michigan is not too far north, I would cart all of my stuff right to Dart. You would be surprised what they can do for you.

We have a Cig running around our local pond with Ryan's mills in it. Sounds healthy and haven't seen it being towed yet!
