I need to take my boat in for a little maintenance that I just don't have time to do myself.
Need to run the valves (solid lifters), fix a leak, find a short in my fuel sender/gauge etc.
Who are the good engine guys in Havi for this. I heard the name Aaron but not sure where he is or if works on customs motors.
I'd normally take it back to my builder in HB but I'd rather not tow it all the way to OC and back. Boat's in Parker now.
Thanks in advance

I have always had great experiences with Savage Marine in Lake Havasu, but I hear great things about Aaron at Absolute.

Where's this Oster guy? I really need someone that KNOWS stout engines. I don't have a race motor by any means, but, still need whoever works on it is really experienced in the high perf motor field. (Not sayin he doesn't know high perf motors, I have no idea either way :) )I'll have to keep him in mind for future stuff.
Aaron at Absolute is the guy I couldn't think of earlier. Hope he's not too busy and I can get my boat back in a week or so.
Thanks for all the replies and leads.

I use Savage. Other people use Aaron. They are a block away from each other.

Aaron was good to me, (that's coming from a guy that has NEVER paid anyone to work on his stuff). I've met Lance, and he seems to be a hell of a guy too.

Lance has done some motor work on our blown Eliminator...great guy,knows his stuff..very reasonable.
Aaron at Absolute is awesome...the only problem is he is so good that the guy is pretty much always swamped... either way you go you won't be sorry :)

Savage is who we have always used and will continue to use
Absolute is also the other person I would trust....
can go wrong with either

He is in Havi. Lives there. Also works for Elim. He knows high performance stuff. Give him a call.

Aaron is very familiar with High performance engines.Just weatched him insatlled 2 blower motors in a 28 Daytona the past couple of days.Just installed 2 1550hp motors in Bobbits Skater and has Roger Bourgets Skater in line.
Absolute 928-855-2252
Nice thing is he won't mother **** you to your face or behind your back if you go elsewhere to have something else done later or to buy parts.

This guy takes care of everybody. I have him do my annuals and hopefully that is all I'll ever have to him do. A couple of months ago I make an appointment and I drop the boat off and when I show up to pick it up, not only is it done on time as usual (actually before promised), all his guys were busy on other boats so Aaron jumped in and did my work himself. I mean some dudes would just make me wait or whatever as the high dollar motors are being worked on but he jumps in and does the little stuff to make sure his committments are met. May not seem like much to some other guys but those few hundreds dollars are hard earned by me so I'm only too happy that if I have to give it to someone else that it is hard and well earned as I recycle it.

Aaron and Absolute are the BEST! Whether you've got a 40+ Skater with twin 1550's or a 21 ft open bow you will be treated the same.
