Any recomendations on who to use for rebuilding a couple of 280 mercury 2.5s.

Hi David. Cant wait to see it done! My Research said Jay Smith. jaysmithracing.com I think you already knew that though and were looking for some other opinions. Best of luck!

Diamond Marine in Ft. Lauderdale also does great work.

Jay smith. after mine were done they ran awesome.

Dont do the dry stack its a pain, but sounds awesome

DIAMOND MARINE !!! Marty and Joe made 340hp out of my 280hp 2.5`s. The 340`s pushed my Skater to 122 the first pass in the Everglades ,70 gals of fuel and 95 deg High humidity.Not only did they build fast motors they are very reasonable on their prices and will go 110 % to help you out any way they can.

Diamond Marine!

Thanks guys for the input, who do the offshore racers use?

Most of the 2.5 racers i know do it themselves out of necessity and repetition. When we blew them up there usually wasnt enough left to rebuild. I'm sure anyone thats "windowed" a motor knows what it means when one lets go and you cannot pull the throttle lever back

Gonna start a new thread late tonight when i can get the first half a dozen posts off without any interruption. Got all the pics on a card and take'in 'em home with me.

James Ruck out of oshkosh wisconsin. Best of the Best 920-233-3833 or 920-203-9990
