Motor Rebuilds

Who is GOOD -- Who is not
WHY ?

Hydrotec marine

Why: very proven from everything I’ve seen/read

Texas Outboard Rebuild in 7 points. Good because they rebuilt a motor for me and it was flawless.

How long did it take TOR to do your rebuild job ?

What motor and size are you thinking about having rebuilt ?

2 weeks

I think I would probably look into getting a factory rebuild.

This thread is not about me getting my motor rebuilt and if I should get a factory reman ..... but rather about what REBUILD shops in the Texas market are good, efficient, cost effective and fast ........ or NOT.
Which ones don't do what they advertise

No need to be a dick. I’m sure you’re looking for a cheap way out so you can post for sale and let the Next guy deal with it but no need to be rude to someone offering their advice

Before you get your panties in a wad it would help of you let us know what motor and what extent is the damage. In some cases the damage is too much to rebuild and a factory remanufactured is more cost effective.

This dude has made like 3 threads on the issue.

He couldn’t afford a reman since they’re 10k. And can’t find someone to get it running good enough so he can stick some fool on Craigslist or some kid with daddy’s money

👍☹️
Getting a blown motor fixed is one of the most exasperating things there is to do.
My issue is solved. I am just trying to find GOOD - REPUTABLE shops that others can use when they have the same issue
Have a nice day !!!

Plano Marine is awesome on Yahmahas

Texas Outboard 7 points did good work

DO NOT USE Troy at TS performance Marine around Atlanta or Uncretain IF he's even still in business!

I'd know where I'd go if it was a non direct injection Mercury 2.5 motor.
Bobby but thats what he does really good.

Texas Outboard rebuilds is the only place that will get my business from now on. Very friendly and honest people and send photo updates of everything they do.

2 week turnaround time? This guy did it in two weeks himself with basic yard tools.

If I put mine in for 2 weeks I'd expect more than a motor rebuild.

I believe Fish Killer used that guy. Lol

...OK....
since I started this thread, let me add to it.
After much discussion, consternation, many telephone calls and internet searching .......
I went to Texas Outboard Rebuild in Tool (Cedar Creek area)
they were not the cheapest (might be in the long run) but they were:
1.) knowledgeable 2.) reasonable priced 3.) friendly 4.) delivered on schedule
5.) provided work updates with pictures by email 6.) went over the entire repair when I picked it up
7.) went over further break-in and how-to operate the engine for desired best results

let's hope this ends this chapter of BUYING a USED BOAT
..... that thread is next

Just remember yours is not the only motor being worked on. 2 weeks is a normal turn time.

Good info

TOR quoted 3 weeks and delivered
All others said 1-3 months
Not one shop said 2 weeks & I called a lot of shops
Just saying .......

I hope you get good service from it.
