Reconditioned Marine Engines
Just curious,
Has anyone done any business with Rapido Marine in Florida.
They do have an interesting web site selling recondioned marine motors for a reasonable price. Called up Marine Engines did a search and their site came up?
Thanks Brian

the guys at 1800runsnew.com have been responsive so far, as well as I could ask for....

Keep us posted Im curious that outcome. Also, what happen to the engine. Did you fill out the warranty card that came with it? Reason I ask all this is because I bought a crate a couple months ago.

Re: Reconditioned Marine Engines
so far they have over delivered on everything promised, I can't find an ounce of fault with them. Of course it is still honeymoon stage and so far it has been the easy stuff, now the hard stuff starts. I will keep everyone posted, and I have no reason to doubt them, other than they are in a marine industry, and we all know that means have reason to be skeptical.

Re: Reconditioned Marine Engines
called the guys at 1800runsnew, told them an engine went down, of course they said they need to see it, but were responsive, said as soon as I get it on a crate they will pick it up. If it is my fault they will rebuild (my cost of course), if not then they ship a new one and pay install cost. So far so good. They were not trying to shift liability or act squemish, it is a good sign, not the whole picture, but a good sign.
before it goes to them I will kow what is wrong, machinist going over to look at motor tonight.

They are pretty good guys over there (ie: RunsNew in Holliston, MA).
However, dean51267 , with the amt of engines you've gone thru it may be a safe assumption ? at this point that there is a rigging / fuel tank / or bolt on part (that gets swapped from motor to motor) issue ?
