First of all I hate it that you got screwed, but the first red flag should have been a pair of iron headed 572's with an 8-71 blower that appears to be under driven by about 25% isn't going to make anywhere near 1000hp. Hopefully you have enough good parts there to make something out of them.
Seller told him they were 10-71s |

Sorry to hear about your motors
i bought a boat trailer from him on 2012 Was ok deal |
Greg from New Zealand here, i brought a set of 280K planes via ebay from him, hard to deal with, tabs were not the condition stated and as i airfreighted them to Nz "not cheap". Having to strip and rebuild so really should have brought new.
After reading your post i won't be seeking product from him again. This was before i became part of this great web site, |

RR |
he's had that list for a fairly long while..
I doubt it would make a difference to him if he was following along |
When you are banned,can you still read the posts just not post or no access to the site at all?
|
I sure as Hell wouldn't Throw good money after bad putting a dime into those blocks. I've ran non closed cooling motors on the Gulf back in the day in my parasail boats. 4-5 years and their beyond Junk.

Maybe he’s googled his name and it’s come up on OSO so he can follow along in silence. :silenced: Ha! RR |
you have any interest in selling the whipple intercoolers?
|
Can this thread title be edited to add his name!?
I just text him today about a supposed new part and he only will accept check..... Glad I found this thread! |
|
He also has a pair of outboards that are short on details and pictures
|
Kinda surprising there's no way to report on bad classified adds....i mean on craigslist and offerup you can report on scam add or possible stolen property....
|

I am just glad that I actually did get a pair of engines. Also whom ever had them built at one time used some nice parts. I will go through them and make it work. Just very disappointing and cost extra money that I didn't plan on spending. Also love that once I got them he never answered the phone again. Before I bought them he was pretty good about answering. I never even got to tell him how I felt. I am glad to see that this might have saved someone else from getting hurt.
|
Let’s overload his phone with calls and texts…I can be a tire kicker all day long.

Couldn't find a legal business Ralph Charette owns in Florida looking at http://sunbiz.org
Phone number came up with this.. https://www.buzzfile.com/business/Ac...s-727-243-2219 |
This is a bit of an old thread. But I saw on Craigslist a pair of ASD 12. Would those be any good coming from Ralph C?
|
And he also wants to sell the "Spirit of America". 50 foot Cougar. He is asking anywhere from 24 to 38K. Would this be a waste of money?

Why would you consider buying anything from him after reading his history??

After all, as long as you come prepared that you get a pile of junk for not much money...... MAYBE. Definite Maybe. |
you haven't read his M.O.
|
Ralph C just listed more ads in the paid classifieds.
Use due diligence |
I guess OSO will take money from anyone even scammers. It’s a shame people like this guy can actually make a living selling crap this way.
anyone know his “business” name? Clapped out Industries? You’re getting hosed LLC? |
