Rebuilt locally?

DC, Tenney, Mechman and others offer 270 amp models that are more than adequate.

If I were in the market I wouldn't consider anything less that 250 amps or something that can crank out 150+ amps at idle cold start.

Most of the guys here look at DC Power 185 amps or higher. Go ahead and read some of the existing threads and decide what will work best for you.
