 Calens engine service
Have to give a big thanks to Calen. I called him the Thursday before the split season told him about how my crankcase gasket was leaking and that I would be making a hunt in the wax the suday of closing weekend and that I'd like to drop it off on Sunday so I wouldn't have to make a trip back and also that I needed it for the following weekend . He said that was fine. Met him suday after my hunt and while i was dropping my boat off I decided to throw the cam in there while he had it apart. Thursday my boat was ready. I got off work late and Calen still came meet me at his shop at 8 that night to pick up my boat. Now that's good customer service if I do say so myself. I reccomend him to anyone needing service work or looking to get performance work done.

 Re: Calens engine service
X2 on customer service. During the first split running back from the delta, my brake caliper locked up. I took it to him straight from the launch, so he could get a look at it. During his examination he noticed that the crank case cover was cracked also. I am limited to my hunting days becasue of work and Calen had the Boat ready the Next day. Couldn't ask for better service anywhere. He got all that done and killed a limit of ducks that morning, LOL. I am looking forward to him doing my stage 1 after the season.

 Re: Calens engine service
He put hoyts cam in it. I gained about 2.5 mph and a noticeable increase in power. I was running 29.5 average with 2 guys, 4 dozen dekes, 9 gallons of gas, a full ice chest and normal huntin stuff before cam. And I ran 32 mph this weekend with same load, but now im turning 4220-4260 Rpms and bumping the rev limiter once in a while. And before the cam 5 guys, 9 gallons of gas, and a full ice chest i got 25 mph and I got 27 mph after cam and even bumped 28 a couple times.

 Re: Calens engine service
I was wondering if the mikuni along with a stage 1 would be to much. How easily do you get to the rev limiter. I like the speeds, hope I can get that out of my 1854 CC. I hunt the ADWMA, delta side, hunted the wax for a while. And I carry large loads down to the camp. I am like a push barge in the ICW till I hit some shallows and pick up my speed. Calen told me that the stage 1 will cure that.

 Re: Calens engine service
I haven't been able to hit shallows yet to see how quick it'll hit the rev limiter... That'll be the real test... But in deep water with Juss two guys i keep it at 4250. If I trim up a Lil more it'll hit the rev limiter... I'm sure I might be able to pick up a Lil more speed if I were able to trim up a Lil more.. Might just end up having to get some high rev coils.

 Re: Calens engine service
Nice, that is great to hear a dealer taken care of his customers in a timely fashion. If you want to install high rev coils give me a call, ill give you a hand.
