Welcome to SCJB  ;D

Gonna need a little more information about what you want to do.  If you're looking for a basic overhaul with marine tolerances you can go to just about any machine shop get it done.  If you want a good high performance build that's another story.

Also, how much of the build are you able to do yourself?  Do you want someone to do the machine work and you do the assembly, or do you need a place you can drop it off and pick it up when ready to install?

Something else to think about...

How much are you willing to invest into an engine?

Randy and Matt at Jet Boat Plus have built more big HP motors then most any body in this local area .
Ive seen his work still running strong after 5-6 seasons of hard running .
They stand behind everything they do ,cant go wrong  :thumbup:
