Ironically, no, Florida is the "Sunny state for shady people"

There are some good ones but a lot of horror stories too... The thread names every reputable engine builder down here. Outside of this list it wouldnt be a good idea. Plus, almost all of the smaller guys that I used 5-7 years ago have swapped to "only outboards".

Innovation Marine is not far from me. Visited the shop a couple of years ago. CLEAN and up to date equipment. Friendly office staff. I didn't have the work done and don't know personally who has. Good luck......

Ive never had anything done by them, but spoke on the phone with Laz a couple times a few years for pretty extended periods, and he seemed like he would be good/easy to work with

If I were in a position to have engine work done for my own boat, I would have to rely on my own personal experience of boat racing starting in 1958.
I would only have one choice......INNOVATION Marine in Sarasota.
Good people, quality work and these people really know what they are doing, because they have done it so many times before.

+1 for Bruce Baker at Express.

Having spent a questionable sum of money with an engine builder in Florida, I'd take my business elsewhere if/when the need arises again. Innovation would be high on my list at that point.

Before you decide, find out who actually puts a warranty on their work. Should narrow down your list.

Laz at Mesa Balancing will do you right.

A plus for Flagship Marine. Bought parts there and they were very fair.
