Hey Crazy,
Don't know about Young Marine but I have had great service with Lynn's Westside Marine in Evansville In.

A customer of mine has a pair of Eddie's 650 fuel injected motors in his Nortech. They run strong, sound great and dont give us a bit of trouble. Once we had problems with the MSD distributers, (because they corroded all to hell) I called Eddie for the set up because they are his engines, he spent way more then enough time with me on the phone to make sure everything was perfect! Told me if I needed anything else to give him a call right away. How many engine builders do that now adays?

John

He seems like a nice stand up guy. Some of my friends are running his engines with great success. Kind of sounds like a Yankee but don't hold that against him(just kidding Ed).
If he's busy Eric at EB Marine is dependable also. These would be THE ONLY people in Nashville I would use.

Eddie knows his stuff and he is very reliable and honest. He re-worked all of the rigging in my boat this spring as well as adapting a Hardin Marine serpentine kit to my application which included making and correcting some of their brackets and spacers. It works flawlessly.

He also built the quad-rotor motors for the "Cyclone" Nor-Tech (that had a video bouncing around here a few years back), the quad-rotors that were in the Nashville Katz, he has built a lot of naturally asperated motors as well. There is a set of 750hp's he built last fall pushing a big 38 around here into the mid-90's. He knows his stuff and will not push/sell you anything that you do not need.

He has a web site at www.youngperformancemarine.com

You are right Kennyo, Eric at EB Marine is also a stand up guy who does really good work.

He built these for me from the ground up. 598CI 750hp NA's. I have beat on them all summer so far and all I have done is change the oil....that is some kind of record for me!! He also built a set of 950 SC's that have 165 hours on them with nothing but oil changes that another friend of mine has in a 388 Hustler.

Boatcrazy, you are more than welcome to come and look at my motors and rigging that Eddie did. I am right down the road from him.
