FYI - warning about Beach Marine in Lewes, DE
 

There's a thread over on the Boat US boards about a guy that got screwed by Beach Marine in Lewes Delaware. Short version, guy wants to repower his boat with new outboards. Beach quotes him a price on "new" motors, then sells him leftover 1999's.

Then, they pull his old, 600+ hour motors off his boat - and remove the hour guages - and a week later are advertising his old motors as "less than 300 hours"!

Sounds like this guy is a piece of work... here's the thread:

Sounds like the guy has a twisted idea of what is new and what isn't. My opinion is that something is new if it doesn't have any hours. Being 2 years old with no hours is new in my book.
