Re power cost.

[Warren149]

Hi,
has anybody purchased an engine from
http://www.inboardmarineengine.com
It’s actually an India site associated with possibly
http://www.techno.co.in/
A procurement site in India.
Engines would be shipped out of India apparently at your cost,
Everything looks like it’s bogus but has anybody actually tried or succeeded to make a purchase from them?
The site has been up with prices way too low for quite a while
Thanks
Warren

Don't do it.

Just call the manufacturers that they purport to represent and ask if they are legitimate.

Google the address and you will find a vacant lot in Indonesia.

Don't ever buy anything from any site that is not SSL. That is a huge red flag.

There are also some good deals listed at this site:

Just saying.

Thanks guys , no intention of buying but sight has been around quite a while and I was have a discussion with somebody who was using the prices quoted as a starting point for Cody to Re power a used boat he was considering buying……
Somebody must have explored to site.

If they are a legitimate business, asking people to pay through their site, and they don't have an SSL certificate, then they're not worth doing business with regardless of their legitimacy.

Thanks, I get it ,
I have no intention to sent several thousand dollars to a website on the off chance some piece of machinery will show up months later! But people have been caught by much simpler scams!
However if somebody did try to communicate with the ‘supply house’ I would be interested in what they found out.
I am not currently looking for an engine but would like to learn from somebody else’s research.
Cheers Warren
