My experience with Shaun was Class Act.......


Steve is 100% correct that I was onboard during the setup runs. It was very impressive to see the differences in the before and after runs with this boat. Shaun is a friend of mine and has also helped me on my boat and the results have been very good. I have and will continue to stay out of this discussion because it is none of my business.......

I'm registered for this year. The wife and I are really looking forward to it

As soon as I get the one power head back from diamond, I'll be set with the engine work. Just drop on.
I'm going ahead with shipping the 3 original sportmasters to Craig colabella performance for rebuilds
