Who do you guys buy your drives and parts from? I see some good prices in the classifieds on uppers and drives from Victory Marine, Marine Power Supply, and Coastal Marine Export. I'm hesitant to deal with anyone that I don't already know and trust. I'm just thinking anything could happen- SEI drives with Mercury stickers, drives advertised as new but really rebuilt with chinese junk, who knows.

Anyone have experience dealing with any of these companies? Who else has competitive pricing and a solid reputation?

I often wondered if mercury had the Chinese making the XR upper gears ( due to the lack of quality)

I buy from BAM or the Bravo shop

Coastal Marine Export ! Great guy and honest .

Definitely I have purchased from Mike before. Can't go wrong.

Dick Tryce aka Mr Gadgets has hooked me up several times.

Call victory Marine. They have ads on this forum.

i think merc is getting the gears from china.

Victory is awesome I bought a bravo drive from them a few years ago for my 27' Fountain. They had the best price and they had scratch and dent units brand new from Merc which is what I bought. Still came with full warranty.

We could only wish SEI would make a bravo upper ! Been running there lowers for 4 years now behind 750HP with no trouble at all . Tom at Gavin Marine was good to deal with on new XR uppers . He had the best price at the time and no BS.
