Yep there a good reputable shop. I had 2 top end rebuilds done there and they were both shipped within three weeks. Not sure on entire motor rebuilds go as far as turnaround time goes but the guy who owns it Mike I believe,is a great guy and will take time out of his day to talk to you. Seems like most engine rebuild company's have a very long turnaround time in the peak season but yea I would deff recomended them.

I use SES out of Horsham, PA. I've sent in 3 engines to day, and all 3 still run. He uses your core and quality parts.

Since you're a 1/2 hr drive away, I'd do it. However I'm not sure I'd expect to be back on the water any time soon, I'm sure he's swamped.

does he work out if his house?
I had a good experience with full bore. Sent my 787 to them in December of 2013 and got it back late March, which was within the promised time frame. Almost two full seasons later of hard running, and the engine is still holding up great. Compression when I received it was 150/150 and it remains that way. So I would definitely recommend them if you have a few months time to spare. If you are looking for a quick turnaround, they are not the way to go. If you need an engine now, SBT is the way to go. If you have a few months, I think you will get higher quality from Full Bore.
With Full Bore, I also got a 2 and a half year "no fault" warranty, which given that I got it back in March, is basically a 3 season no fault warranty! Can't find that anywhere else. Having said that, it was a winter special and I don't know if they will offer it again.

Yes, the SES address is a house. I dropped an engine off there before to him directly.
I'm about 2.5 hours away, so my most recent ones I shipped. With turnpike tolls and gas, the cost difference was like $20 to save me 4-5 hours of driving...

I think FullBore does good work, but don't expect quick service or honest updates. I scheduled my engine rebuild in March and was confirmed for a June turnaround. Finally got it back in November. He was full of excuses and broken promises, but once he has your engine, there's not much you can do but hope and pray that he comes through. Hopefully he was just going through a rough patch, but he sure put a damper on our summer.

Wow, March to November?! that's awful and a lost season.
I have had SES rebuild my 657x. I can tell you he stand by is no fault warranty since it broke 2 twice on me. First one lasted 10 minutes, second one 2 hours and coolant hose broke. On the 3rd one with no issues. I think the first one dropped a cylinder, I am not sure since it was premixed 40:1 plus the oil injection, 2nd one my fault since the water hose broke not the builders fault what so ever, 3rd one it working on premix since I scared to go to the oil pump only even though the oil tests fine.
Fullbore has done 3 topends for me, Yamaha GP1200, Polaris 750, and Yamaha 200 Blaster. All have been fine, I still have the GP1200 7 years later. He now has 2 of my 717's doing a rebuild for my boat.
