He gave me a handshake and a garuntee that even Ricky Bobby himself would be proud to own that boat when he is done :lol: :lol:

I’m sure it’ll turn out well. He did the heads on mine a few weeks ago. Had roughly a 2 week turnaround which you probably won’t take much more than. Post up the difference.

Update. Engine is here, Parts have poured in, I've taken all the new stock parts to NOT be used off. Will be pulling heads to work next week, Rods, pistons, and camshaft should arrive next week aswell. Once this motor is assembled I will swap onto Jesse's frame for a whole new attitude.

This engine will be a stout one that's for sure!

Motor Is apart and ready for the new rotating assembly and camshaft. I DE shrouded the Combustion chambers on the cylinder heads last night. As soon as my rods, pistons, and camshaft arrive I will build the short block then get back on the heads.

Marcus has been keeping me up to date with every detail. He found my lower unit bearings were going out and need to be replaced! That's customer service!

Progress on Jesse's engine.
The short block is complete after waiting for the custom pistons and Rods came in. Rings are file fit to the bore. Camshaft is timed for this application.
Cylinder head porting along with the intake and Black Death adapter to start tomorrow.

Updates on jesses engine. Cylinder heads are done. I didn't take pics after the valve job.
These heads came out really nice.

The engine will get fully assembled today. Tomorrow I will swap the 35 on the frame in preparation for tuning it. I rebuilt Jesse's lower as the bearing were really bad off.

Takin it out Monday. Have to say I am beyond satisfied with the whole experience from figuring out what build I want. Having it built by reputable mechanic. As well as the customer service that came with it. Thanks Marcus

Exactly why I'm sending Marcus my motor after duck season. Very good customer service, very knowledgeable, and gives you his word on his product. Can't wait to have him stage up my 40

Just wait dude. With Marcus’ head recipe alone I was able to plane 4 big dudes, dog and gear today. Prior to that a 2 man hunt load was all I got. His work is solid.

Thanks fellas. Like I told Jesse, His hull will now be the limiting factor. The engine is a workhorse even at a 4750 RPM limit.

Well took the boat out! Its an edge 1550 standard series not a mud hull. Me and Marcus agreed my hull is the limiting factor with it being a smaller Hull and not a mud hull. I got 35 with me and my dog. I got 29 with me and 2 other guys with a dog. For what I am using it for which is tight timber and marsh here and there these speeds and the power it has to haul I am 100000000% satisfied and could not be happier. This boat still has plenty of power to haul more guys and I am excited to see how well it performs with my duck load! Thanks again Marcus if anyone wants a performance motor built you seriously need to consider Marcus at Bayou Surface Drive!
