Eddi Young & Travis Shout Out
Going on four years ago I bought a 2005 Velocity VR 1. It had a crate 502 motor built by Innovation for Factory 1 racing. I dropped the boat off at Eddies and he rebuilt and bumped the power up slightly. It has ran good with little problem until this year.
I launched it on June ninth and ran it a short distance to my dock and lift. The next day my wife and I were going out to dinner by boat and it wouldn't start! We then had some rainy weather and other things going on so I didn't get back to it until Wednesday this week. After charging batteries I determined I had spark but no power to the fuel pump. As this has fuel injection and an electric fuel pump......I decided I needed help and called Eddie. I thought that maybe it was a bad connection in the 10 pin canon connector and needed to know what to check. I got Travis as Eddie was out and he said if I had spark it likely was not in the connector. Over a number of phone calls Eddie and Travis had me perform some tests and determined it was likely a faulty relay. They then gave me a part number to order the relays on Amazon and two days later I am running and only $28.00 poorer!
Remember, this is on a four year old rebuild, the relays were likely from 2005 and Eddie is very busy this time of year. This is why Eddie is the best and why you hear so much good about him.
THANKS EDDIE & TRAVIS!

These Eddie praise stories are too common and boring at this point. Maybe the guy should screw up so we can have something new to talk about. 
Seriously, his shop is pretty much legend at this point! Good Job to all!!!
