I only sell parts and do not overhaul. I have talked with Don on the phone several times (ordering parts) before I started my online parts. He is a very plesant fellow to talk to and very knowledgable. I have never delt with Bob Hess but because he is close I have talked to several people who have delt with him, one with an overhaul and heard nothing but good things. I would not hesitate buying from either one. I sell used parts and my only advice is these engines have been around a long time and salt is taking its toll. I would try to get a freshwater cooled engine that has been that way for a long time or find one in someones garage that has been there a long time. I have 2 engines now in that shape but both are sold. I also have about 6 engines that the blocks would be OK but I would not sell because the salt has had it's way with them. They might last a few years but not the 20 they should. I do not know where you live but I would try to find an engine from the great lakes area or someplace like portland Or where most of the sailing is done in fresh water. Good Luck. Will
