There is a guy that sells rebuilt A4s in Southern California near Escondido. He charges $3500. Does anyone know him or his reputation? I'm pretty sure his name is Ed..
Anyone know this guy?

Don't know him, never heard of him but if this is a private party I'd first inquire about diagnostic measurements (compression, cooling system pressure test, oil pressure @XRPM, etc.) and a running demonstration. If it is a business entity I'd expect the same plus a warranty.
He's representing this as a full rebuild so let him prove it and stand behind it before plopping down several thousand dollars in a form of payment that cannot be recovered if it goes sour.Neil

The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) offers a variety of certification courses, many of which pertain directly to marine mechanics. For example, mechanics can become certified in marine corrosion, marine systems, diesel engine and support systems and/or gasoline engine and support systems. Certifications in refrigeration and air conditioning and electrical are also available. Each course includes 2-4 days of seminars followed by the certification exam. Marine mechanics can also earn manufacturer-specific certifications, such as the Certified Technician in Mercury Marine product lines available through Mercury University.Neil
