Anyone have any experience with rebuilt outboards from Atlantic Boat Rental in Plymou

[Slipknot]

If you mean Atlantic Boats
and they are in Wareham, or that's where they were at the time, then ya I got a motor rebuilt by them and wasted my money
they suck
I won't buy anything from them
2500 to rebuild a 200 hp suzuki
it didn't run right off the bat, I guess it was a spark plug, and he tried to charge me for it
I figure this must mean they never test ran it
this was near the end of the season since he took half the year to fix it, meanwhile getting money coming in for other boats placed in my slip
So the next season the motor craps the bed again, past the 90 days I'm out of luck
sold it right there in the water for a big loss
the guy has no problem taking your money, and will blame everything on something else, never their fault.

whatever you do, DON"T buy a motor from him

I've steered others away also, they were glad I did.
others mentioned how people were unhappy with them
I think the guy(owner) is an arrogant money grubbing jerk

Thanks for the honest feedback, but yes, they are 2 unrelated businesses...

Atlantic Boat Rental offers a 1 year warranty, which sems pretty fair...I look forward to hearing from a member here that works there...

Be careful on rebuilts, if the engine was blown and if they did not know the exact cause it will blow again.

Look into the new LEFTOVER market. You get a unused motor (zero hours) that might be owned by an outfit that is closing up shop. Sometimes boat builders buy alot of the same motors and don't sell them all. It might be 2+ years old but still in the box. You can get great deals and the factory warranty is still good.

You may have to pay for creating and shipping across the country though but I have heard of some sweet deals on 2 year old motors.
