Buyying new motor out of State??
Has anybody re-powered there boat by buying a new motor from out of state (California)? It seems you can get them cheaper out of califonia but not sure if its worth the risk. Thanks in advance
Re: Buyying new motor out of State??
I recently bought a new motor from Jet-A-Marina in Kentucky. They shipped it to C&C and I had C&C install it. Motor was significantly cheaper and there was no sales tax. Bob's marine in Modesto is reasonable on his motors but he doesn't deal in Evinrude's which is what I was after.

I bought my Yamaha SHO from Andersons Marine in Tennessee, got a great deal and no sales tax. Shipped motor to Bob's Marine in Modesto and the whole deal worked out great!

Repowered with a Mercury 175hp Pro XS. Purchased it from a dealer in Texas. Only had 83 hours on it. I had it shipped directly to Lakeside Boats in Castaic, CA. Perfect transaction, no problems what so ever.

Well, lets see.............
Pros
1 Save money on tax
2 Cheaper ?
Cons
1 Freight cost
2 You don't see it till it arrives
3 If there's a warrentee, who backs it ? The manufacturer or the dealer/person you bought it from
4 what to do with the old motor Is there a core charge, now you have freight cost both ways
For me, there has to be a significant savings to off set the risks

Mitch, I only paid $300 for freight from Kentucky to CA. Dealer mailed in my warranty and its a manufacture warranty and its good. You sell or part out your old motor. No core charge.
Significantly cheaper at least for Evinrude's. I would not have been able to afford it locally or at least it wouldn't have made sense to pay that much more for a 225hp motor. Now if I was going with a Merc or Yammy I may have bought it locally depending on the quote.

Luckily in your case it worked out to your benefit !! That's great !! Did you already have a Rude ? And if so, did all the rigging work out so that you didn't incur that extra cost.
