For over a year now i have been shopping around to see where i could get my 525's refreshed.
I checked most of all the Shops in Havasu , they were a little pricey and seemed to send some of the work out. I wanted a good price and a place that would do all the work in house. I didn't want it sent out all over the place to have the job completed. I would see
some good write ups about Boostpower but thought my little 525's would cost to much for the
average guy like me to afford them to do the job. I live about 20 min from there shop and decided to drive by and check them out. I was very impressed with there shop and talked with Alexi about my
rebuilds, Surprisingly they seemed to have a lot better pricing then what i have been quoted from
some of the other places I had been to. Alexi seemed like the most knowledgeable guy I talked so far, price was good , and every thing done in house .
Has any one else used Boostpower ?

I don't, but I have never heard anything about Alexi or his work. Hopefully this summer I can get together with him and get a ride in his compound Schiada. Lol!

I owned one of his motors. I have quite a few friends with his motors. I would highly recommend him. [emoji106]

I have always heard great things and enjoyed his posts. He is a Naci local so that is another plus. Have heard the same thing about pricing as well. Should be a 32 there now getting dialed in for a inmate that rarely posts.

Honestly if I needed any kind of motor work I would drive the 6+ hours to go see Alexi of Boostpower. When I was trying to rebuild the Jesse James boat he was very helpful. Good dude for sure.

Alexi will do you right. Take one look at his Schiada and that should tell you a lot about his workmanship and attention to detail.

Alexi is very knowledgeable and stand behind his stuff. One stop shop,nobody is “too small” . Good friend of mine is running Boostpower, it makes a TON of power and he’s been very happy. [emoji1303]

I went with B&D to redo my 500. But wouldn’t hesitate to use boostpower. B&D was just a better fit for the scope of my project.

I personally know him, and have a ton of clients with his power. Always a nice guy to chat with, does things others have not. People I’ve spoke to are all very happy, some that have started at other shops and ended up there. I know I’d trust to use him.

I’m going on year four with my engine from boostpower, I’ve got 125 hrs on it, and well over 2000 gallons of av gas through it. It’s been a real pleasure having an engine that makes so much power, and is totally dependable. Another vote for Alexi!

I purchased a 1200sc motor from him early last year and have had zero issues. Alexi is a great guy to deal with, one of the industry’s best. You will be hard pressed to find someone more knowledgeable and willing to help than him. Highly recommend.

It doesn't get any better than Alexi and Boostpower. Dude knows his shit, provides an excellent product, customer service and communication. It doesn't matter if your gonna spend $10 or $100k, he is there to help.
IMO His engines are the best lookers as well.

I just picked up an old Banks TT Marine 454 Complete that was owned by the late owner of Circus Circus, it apparently has 40hrs or so.

After searching all over I think I would like to talk to you about going through this thing and updating it and making it right.

It will be going into my also rare 20’ Silverwing Tunnel.

What I’m looking for is a reliable fun engine, I believe this was the stage 3 with the bigger Intercoolers, it’s the single carb suck through deal.

When’s a good time to call?

Thanks

So, for us at first when we meet Alexi, he was very straight up! Almost bold straight up! At first my wife and I were a bit perplexed. Within about 10 min of chatting with him, he walked us back in his busy workshop and backed up every bold comment he made about things, proved his point and then made us feel at home letting us touch and feel the items! What a guy! So we use Boost and several of our long time boating friends do and from what we have seen picking up our boat, it looks like folks around the globe us them. They are not a regular service shop, they do efi, rigging, custom builds, pro street stuff and work on about every abnormal project there is. What I found interesting is that he seems to not give a dam about his competition if folks bring it up. He only says nice things and in fact it seems as though he assists several of them on efi and other items. Anyway, we have had 3 boats with Boostpower Engines and had great times. If a small issue came up, they showed up! We delt with other shops pre 1995 and it was not this way. I may be biased as I live near the Newbury Park shop but A+ from us!

Hey Alexi, is your stuff CARB certified? I'm planning on my next boat being a new build and would like an NA setup from you. If not, is there any way to get around the CARB stuff on a new build?

We have epa numbers and are finishing carb on very few of our part numbers now. Short answer is call on this.

Couldn’t you just build a boat minus power and take it to Boost afterward? I don’t see why not.

Alexi took the time to discuss my deal, I gotta say I will be super stoked if we can get this Silverwing back to what it needs to be!
There is only 1 other one that I know of that is rigged I/O and it also has a twin turbo engine, this thing should run well when it’s completed!
