Advice on Reman powerhead

[fortlaudypower]

Hello S&F, I do believe its about that time to freshen up my '03 250 EFI It has roughly 800hrs on it and is starting to fall on compression. My question is, my boat is a sport boat similar to concept, pantera, but its a center console. I use it to fish, family, and speed across the bay when i need some therapy :reddevil: I would like to freshen my powerhead but is it cost effective to have a trustworthy machinist such as a local vendor from here pull it down and freshen it up and cut the heads or just purchase a Reman powerhead. I do come from a hot rod background and understand the art of machining, and would not just take it to anyone. I will be sending my ECU to Simon just to give me a few extra RPM's, nothing major. I just sent my injectors to Brucato 6 months back as well as install CC reeds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.....
