About UsOur business is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the highest importance. We are committed to meeting those needs and as a result, a high percentage of our business is from happy customer referrals and repeat customers who want to refresh or upgrade.
We are a small business and we do not keep any motors in stock . We do keep a limited amount of different parts in stock. This helps to keep the cost down...usually less than half of what some of the big name builders charge, and we use the same quality parts that they do. Each "Bullet" is custom built to your request...just what you ask for. If you think that our motors are too cheap...then pay us $50,000.00 for one and be happy, or check our references.
We mainly build marine engines...540 cubic inch BBC, but we also get request for car/truck and racing motors from 350 cu in to 622 cu in. How about a 800+ HP 540 motor to race with or some big power...up to 1500 HP+? We use, in our opinion, the best parts money can buy and we "skimp" on nothing. What you get from us is a custom built, very reliable motor with no "BS"...no fabricated horsepower numbers (like one local engine builder does in North central Texas) and no cop-out excuses...just a solid motor! Our customers rely on our attention to detail...the quality of our work and fair pricing for our products. Our name...Motors by Shooter...might not be as famous as some other builders, but we dont have a big overhead or charge extra to have our name on the motor and the most important thing to remember...I BUILD YOUR MOTOR...not an employee...not a friend and not Harvey the rabbit...I build it...meaning the "BUCK" stops right here with me! But keep in mind, if you are looking for a motor that is indestructable...that motor does not exist...not with me and not with anyone else. The parts that the big name builders use are the exact same parts that I use such as Dart Big M blocks, Brodix heads, Callias cranks, Manley rods, JE pistons and custom grind cams. We will rebuild your motor using your parts if you prefer, or we will start from scratch and build a new motor.
Our services also include winterizing, tuneups, parts, drives, oil changes, replacement parts and general maintenance such as impeller replacement, wash & wax and the usual cleanup. We can also do work on your trailer, trailer bunks and/or lights.
We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and build a quality "bullet" for your boat or car. If you would like more information, pricing, or if you just have questions on whatever...just ask...advice and suggestions for your current motor is always available and we will go out of our way to help you.
We require a $10,000.00 deposit to get started on a new motor. The balance on your motor is due when the project has been completed and it is ready for you to pick up or it is ready for shipment. Total cost on all new "Shooter Bullets" is $17,500.00 and this covers carb to oil pan, harmonic balancer to flywheel. You will need to add your accessories and exhaust. We can provide everything if this is what you need or want, but you will need to contact us so that we have in writing exactly what you want and we can provide any type exhaust system for you.
Contact us for pricing if you want us to refresh your current motor.
All N/A motors carry a one year warranty, supercharged motors carry 30 days.
You are welcome to come by anytime to just shoot the bull, talk boats & motors, motorcycles or whatever. My place is small but it is functional and there is always something to drink with a place to sit down.
Customer references are available...just ask. Please fill out the "CONTACT FORM" with an email address and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
This is for California customers. Since your State Government has started an "Amazon tax" for selling anything to someone in California from another State over the internet to collect taxes on it...there will be no more sales or deliveries to anyone in California....courtesy of the Marxist Democratcs of California.
Thank you,
