They also use deceptive, if not fraudulent descriptive practices in describing the origins of their engines.
Apparently their warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on. That's not an issue if you don't have a problem. If you do get one with an issue, you may be on your own unless you choose to litigate.
As has been said before, there ain't no free lunch/you get what you pay for. Those two phrases have been around longer than all of us and for good reason. It doesn't prevent the naive from ignoring them though.

Do some more checking. There are a lot of guys on this board who have regretted doing business with this company. I'm pretty sure there is a way to search old threads, I just don't know how.

Thats why I asked how they could have such great deals?? Is anyone close to making a 490 hp motor at ~8k??

If buying a motor other than merc , ask for a build sheet. I bet you won't get one. If you do it's a better chance of being legit. There are a lot of "repower centers" selling crap. I have no experience with the above mentioned company but I do with another. I regret it. I'm back to merc.
