look into hamburger pans also, they're 200bucks with pick-up, oil pan gaskets for the 10-12qt jetboat pans;)

I deal directly with both companies and both are good to deal with, I deal with dooley more than any others, craig over there is extremely helpfull and a cool guy. They usually are pretty stocked up and can do custom stuff. Canton has more stuff but is priced a little higher i believe.

My DNE motor has an Olsen pan on it...Was a little more than the dooley but from what I was told the dyno tests proove it is a better pan.

I have dealt with Dooley for unusual custom work and they were extremely helpful, spent about 2 hours making what I needed for one of their pans, and then said "no charge".........That pan, tray and pick up are currently on the PS boat without any issues after 2 seasons. That said, the stuff Armando is making these days is second to none.....Quality, appearence, and service.......Buying new, or having a windowed pan repaired, he is the man...........Ray
PS: Armando worked for Avaid before Aviad sold.......He is now on his own and really top of the line............Aviad seems to be consentrating on FE Cobra stuff, and dry sump pumps/pans......I took an Aviad pan back to Aviad to see about a replacment windage tray, he had none, and couldn't even tell me if the pan was an Aviad. Showed the same pan to Armando, he said "sure, that's one of Aviad's" and proceeded to fabricate a new tray and pick up.....

I'll second that. My Armondo pan is a very very nice unit, and the price was inline with the others mentioned.

Dooley possibly. Canton NEVER! I'd graduate from the JV stuff and step up to varsity. Dan Olsen or Stefs.

I compared most of them a them a year ago and went with Canton. I wanted more volume than canton had for my application but I liked the Canton design better due to the crank splash/drainback relief in the side of the Canton. It runs almost all the way down the left side of the pan and that along with the windage tray design I felt made it a better choice. Pricey, but I haven't been dissapointed. This is the one I went with....

Also check out the Mellings 10777, 10778, and 10778C.....Great pumps. The standard pumps, I don't care whos brand, are, shall we say, less than needed for marine high performance use.......Unless and until, you rework them. The Mellings numbers above are tits, right out of the box.........MP
