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.......

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

Sorry for all of us to hijack your thread with all this other stuff and get sidetracked!!!!
Hope you get your boat back together soon. Let's move this BS stuff to Craig's new thread where it belongs!
Carry on.
