Thanks to SANDERSON MARINE (LEE) for ordering my V8 250R, rigging, testing and delivering on time without any delay. Lee went above and beyond to accommodate and deliver as quoted. For that, I'm grateful. Also, I want to thank Johnny Maxwell, Joe Ally, Tim Powell and Geoff Ericson for taking of their time testing this engine.
I'm am pleased with the 250R engine. It runs great and I’m grateful to everyone mentioned above for their help. Congrats to Mercury Marine.
Good Luck,
Woody
